Duct tape and WD-40. I don't leave home without them....

irishman999 · 07-05-2010, 03:02 AM

I cant believe no one said leatherman yet. I keep one in my pocket, saved my ass plenty of times. Especially being a commercial dump truck driver, things shake loose, sometimes you need a knife or screwdriver.

I just need to find it again

streetstar · 07-05-2010, 03:13 PM

Snap-On duck bill pliers, most versatile pliers out there (Craftsman are an acceptable substitute)

Then i would say Gear Wrenches -- love 'em for most things that need a wrench

joe1982 · 07-05-2010, 06:17 PM

By far, my most favorite tool(s) is my open ended ratchet and socket set! they are just so awesome. also my custom creeper, witch also doubles as a beer run tool

Chlsnk · 07-06-2010, 12:44 PM

My air cutoff wheel and my set of deep well impact sockets they are worth there weight in gold in my opinion.

92470 · 07-06-2010, 02:24 PM

Snap On standard nut driver set, 1" breaker bar, and most of all a really bright and rugged trouble light!

OleBlue79 · 07-06-2010, 04:53 PM

Someone already said their cardboard creeper. I own several styles. I like my Harbor Frieght A/C vacumn pump and gauge set I scored for like $130.00.

Chionos GMs · 07-06-2010, 05:04 PM

Hell yeah!

My favorite cardboard creeper is the refrigerator box real good cushion on all our rough ground!

Alias137 · 07-06-2010, 05:08 PM

Just picked up a craftsman 1/2" cordless impact. Right now, that's my favorite.

OleBlue79 · 07-07-2010, 09:00 AM

Refrigerator boxes rule.

OleBlue79 · 07-08-2010, 04:50 PM

I need a creeper with inflatable tires! Can't afford a slab!.

Hottrucks · 07-08-2010, 05:22 PM

I can't believe no one has said there floor jack probably the most used with a lowered truck...next woud be my mig welder or compressor

D.FENS · 07-08-2010, 06:15 PM

A 60's vintage Rockwell drill press rescued from a local trade school.

Don't use it very much but I was really stoked to save an old American made machine from the scrapyard and bring it back to life.

Innovation By Design · 07-08-2010, 08:01 PM
