Favorite specific tool, brand or ?

Brand, I prefer Stanley Hand Tools or Kent-Moore for automotice specific pieces.

My favorite tool itself would have to be my Campbell Hausfeld 60 Gallon Air Compressor. Nothing like air turning a bolt for you!

I'd love to add to my air tool collection, but I'm literally out of room for any more toys

AnonymouseUser, that is a purty screwdriver set, what did it set you back?

I use Chigago Pneumatic air tools mostly because i'l 100% shadetree and I fon't need anything more. By the time these wear out, I can spend the $20 for another set.

I am heavily debating on getting a good HVLP gun and trying my hand at more intensive body work though.

Since I already had the bits I bought the starter set for ~$75 (includes case), the stubby screwdriver for ~$40, then the empty bit case for ~$10. Grand total less than $130 (without bits).

Socket-end wrenches
Double-sided ratchet wrenches

I think that most people don't have enough appreciation for a good 6-point socket set. Sure, the less common tools can be oh-so-fun, but what other tool does one consistently use that provides reliable, easy fastening and unfastening in all sorts of nooks and crannies for fasteners of all sizes with almost no chance of stripping the head if used properly?

I probably have over $75,000 worth of air, power and hand tools, and you want me to pick a favorite? :roll: I guess my favorite would have to be the tool thats getting the job done at that particular time. :laugh:

My fav tool is a 4 in one screwdriver that my mom bought me a long time ago. I use it almost daily.
