Most valuable tool in your inventory? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

seanconnery · 08-27-2008, 10:26 AM

There are so many choices (for me at least).

For me, it's a close tie between the MIG welder, and the heavy duty sawzall. Once you get used to it and use the right blade for the task at hand, it will be your best friend, but that SOB will wear you out! Once that blade digs in, it will buck you like a bronco. I've used most every brand, but nothing compares to a Milwaukee.

Discuss!

I would post my most valuable tool but it not proper for this forum...

my imagination

Sillyoldman · 08-27-2008, 10:57 AM

They all have a value. The most repetatively used tool is my cordless screw gun.

I think it's ok to say "inflatable blow up doll" in the General forums

I agree with shane, without "Lady Visa" and "Master Card" I wouldn't have much of anything truck or tool-wise!

**fine69** · 08-27-2008, 11:11 AM

I have tons of sweet tools. (hoist, tire changer, plazma cutter, mig welder, etc.)

But i think my favorite/most valuable tool is the cutting torch. So usefull.

Most valuable: my brain

Easiest to use: my MasterCard

I completely agree. I cant count how many times ive reached the end of myself mentally in the garage and had to go in and search the site for what I needed. As far as hand held tools so I would say my cordless DeWalt drill would be my most valuable...besides my fire extinguisher.

The most USED tool in my toolbox is tied between the angle grinder, sawzall and the cordless impact.

4 1/2 Grinder with Grinding Wheel, twisted steel cup, flap disk or Cut Off Wheel.

Bought by my dad and used more than any other tool besides a rachet on my truck.

PanelDeland · 08-27-2008, 05:26 PM

It has to be a tie, between my outstanding good looks and my witty and charming personality.Too bad neither works on my truck.

TennesseeZ · 08-27-2008, 06:36 PM
