I've waxed poetic on my love for the Dremel, and nothing is better than a 1,000 piece socket set, but my vote for MVT (Most Valuable Tool), goes to.........my set of picks!

I swear, I use my $5 set of hose picks all the time. Set of four: 90 degree, 45 degree, hook, and straight. I've got to get another set, as I've got most of them in my makeshift emergency tool kit that I carry in the car!

Runner up is my stubby LED flashlight.

I have two now.

1) Milwaukee HackZall. It's like a mini, lighted sawzall. I bought it for some simple drywall work and now use it for everything. I re did a bunch of heaters in my house and cut them like butter. Tubing for soldering, trimming some tile and baseboards. Amazing tool.

2) Magnetic grabber for the all the crap you will drop in your engine bay.

 

NOT to sound 'cheesy' BUT this forum has been my best tool...!

I would not have known where to start on a lot of the projects I have done without the help of some fellow forum members...NO B.S.!
I once was afraid to wrench on this car......BUT....not anymore.....!

Second best tool.......Durametric diagnostic program.

Third best tool........understanding/supportive wife that loves when I get out of the house and into the garage ,JKing!
