Favorite tool?

[jiyeon]

My favorite tool is myself.  

 

... that sounded way less submissive in my head.

My kershaw ken onion leek pocket knife. It's been in my pocket for 4 years now and I use it almost daily. Definitely got my moneys worth out of it and it still functions the same as the day I bought it.

I have trouble deciding between lethal and non-lethal tools, personally.

Hammers are the best, by far.

Either my Snap-On Thumbwheel ratchets:

 

 

Or my Bosch miter saw:

 

 

Both make me smile when I use them.

Kershaws are darned good knives. My Daddy gave me a soft sided lockback about 40 years ago. The blade was still in great shape long after the sides fell off. He gave me a replacement with hardsides about 30 years ago; it still looks brand new.

 

As to which tool is my favorite... That's like asking which of my children is my favorite (if I had dozens of children instead of two). My most frequently used tools are my Dremel motor and accessories, 120v Ryobi bandsaw, my 18v Ryobi impact driver, and my 18v Ryobi multitool body with Ridgid JobMax multitool, jigsaw, and right angle impact driver heads. Next in line would be my Ryobi 18v circular saw, 18v 1/2" drill, and 18v right angle drill. Hopefully, my other children tools will forgive me for not mentioning them. There are so many of them (I swear they breed like rabbits).

Anyway my favorite tool would probably have to be a lathe. I don't know how to use one myself, but I find them extremely satisfying to watch as they shave off thin slices of metal from the object being worked on.

 

^{I'm weird like that.}

I agree wholeheartedly, the lathe is awesome. I have one at home. It is so much fun and gives a sense of satisfaction as you shape

Probably my chainsaw. Got one of the new electric ones a while ago, but I prefer my 2 stroke.

Left handed screwdriver

 

My Leatherman Surge, Victorinox Rucksack and any tool by Ryobi.

 

Their range is so extensive but so incorporating in the fact that you don't need new batteries at all. They all just coincide.

My router and the circular saw. If I had the funds I'd put a CNC router in my basement though … or a sinter 3d printer. Heck, if had the funds I'd have both.

If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer.

Funny you mention snap-on, I don't use their products. I can't stand their screw driver smell you know that vomit smell. Because how the plastic interacts with oil and breaks down, yeah no thanks. I like craftsman screwdrivers and milfucky

New style screwdriver grips don't do that. But yeah, their old grips smelled weird. Was quite infamous for it. 

 

I don't bother with craftsman screwdrivers. Stripped a lot of crap before finally paying the dosh for the snap on set. Snap on is pretty hit or miss. I like their hand tools generally. Flank drive plus wrenches are amazing, their ratchets have the best feeling ratchet mechanism. However, I don't mess with their air tools and their electric stuff is pretty meh. My bosch impact is much better than my snap on 14.4v. 

[bimmerman]

3/8" cordless impact. Also 1/4" air ratchet. Also 1/2" cordless impact for Its Gonna Come Off NOW

[Aetheria]

A triple-ended screwdriver. Not a triwing tip, I mean it is three screwdrivers in one, all fused together and pointing in different directions. Used to be my grandfather's, and it is bloody perfect: you can put so much downward force on it you basically don't have to worry about ever stripping a screw, and it is effortless to turn.

I think a plasma cutter might be my favorite tool.  It's just damn satisfying to use a little lightsaber.

OH yes their ratchets are mmm amazing! I love Dewalt electric drills, I use the older ones.
