Most usefull tool

[Fish]

I have seen this posted before by some newcomers, but it occurred to me today the answer, my 6" curved nose hemostats are the one tool I would
miss the most, especially on really bad hangover mornings.

I would,however,say my 12 lb sledge hammer and 72" spud bar,for the fine tuning of precision mechanisms.I almost forgot my 9" Klien pliers for cutting the bailing wire.

 

[Lobo]

Deffinitely my buckets of steam to clean off all the oil, grease and dirt on my equipment so I can work on them properly.

I would really miss my sky hook also.

 

[pitkas]

Duct Tape. Duh. Followed by my Kleins.

 

[Lawn Masters]

my dremel and hammers.

 

[thompson1600]

Stihl's Oil Seal removal tool, wonderful

 

[MacDaddy]

I would have to say my tool it can get any job done in less than 3 min

A scribe. You can pry, poke, pick, pluck, prod, probe, pull, and push anything with one. I've got one on my flytying bench, my saw bag, and we have two in each tool box at work.

My favorite would be my makita 9.6v cordless drill outfitted with a t27 torx bit. i once tore a ts 400 down to a bare crankcase in 7 min. It saves me lots of time in the course of a year. second would be my stihl chain grinder with a borizon wheel.

I personally do not like the Stihl grinder, but I do like my 14.5 Dewalt!
I could tear down a TS400 in 6 minutes!

 

[ghitch75]

18v dewalt 1/2 hammer drill and 18v sawall and a BIG HAMMER!!!!!!

knife

Everyone who carries a good pocket knife nows the value of this TOOL! Some of the people I work with say you're not a man if you don't have a knife in your pocket. The list of redneck uses goes on and on for a good TOAD STICKER.

I agree with fishuntcutwood; the double ended scribe is right up there but for me #1 would have to be a pair of genuine vise grips. I have used them in a 1000 differant ways then they were ever designed for. I would be lost with out them. I use them as a vise, on the end of a slide hammer for pulling axels, in the place of a c-clamp most of the time. I seen them used as a brake on a cable pull before, as an emergency handle. I do not even use tongs any more when black smithing. Vise grips lock and do not slip. HOw about skinning cat fish? Where would you be with out vise grips then? Or how about grinding small parts on a bench grinder? Greatest hand tool ever invented by man.

HOw about skinning cat fish?

Yep, done that!

Almost any pneumatic tool. My air hammer, impact wrench, and 3/8" drive air-ratchet save me countless minutes in almost any work I do.

Tough choice between chainsaw and computer.

Deffinitely my buckets of steam to clean off all the oil, grease and dirt on my equipment so I can work on them properly.

I would really miss my sky hook also.

how do you keep steam in a bucket? do you hold the bucket upside down? but then how do you pour it on the saw?

Leatherman supertool,does it all!

Spyderco. With me more often than anything. Wife even carries one.

Another candidate would be those cheap screwdrivers that have 2 double-ended bits and two different size hex openings on the reversable shaft. It's amazing how many things you can do with just that tool! Really handy on hose clamps. And you can chuck up the shaft in your favorite drill and use it as a screw/nut driver as well. Not bad for $4.
