My Gerber multi-tool is stored on my hip and is like my left hand. I use it literally, a few hundred times annually and have done so for a dozen years.

Now, for that stored in a toolbox, I have to say my 12 volt Milwaukee cordless drill/driver is the best I have had, and that includes Makita (stripped the gears in 2 years), a Dewalt 18 volt, which is still going but has a short battery life and only moderately more torque, than the lightweight Milwaukee.

I have a Snap-on short ratchet drive screwdriver and it is the most used on my airplane. But I think my favorite would be my 1/2 inch drive torque wrench. Which means I putting the wheels on my sand rail and that means Fun!

Does duct tape qualify as a ‘tool’? ;-)

Right up there with baling wire.

Was kidding...when I was about 10-12 years old I was always working on snowmobiles etc, I really did not know what I was doing, but somehow used to keep 1 going.

Old farmer neighbour used to rib me , he would say the same thing every day, check to see if the pin has fallen out of the johnston bar

To this day I never knew what it was, I guess it was part of a train as you say.

Thanks :)

I have an OLD Phillip’s screwdriver (notice I didn’t say “cross-tip”) that I got from my dad. It has a wooden handle and is the best screwdriver I’ve ever owned.
