Wondering what your favorite tool is??

Been getting some more tools now after a few years of not buying any.

Needed a scanner and purchased a otofix but swapped it out for a xtool d8w with topology. Found a sweet deal on an autel 608 but no topology so I'm gonna have to figure out which one to send back. Quite a difference in price of the unit as well as cost of the updates.

This set of interesting stuff. Guess what it all helps me regularly? Actually two fundamental things. No electronic devices allowed.😁

Perhaps not technically a tool, but these little things that hold up the oil pan and gaskets while you get the bolts started have been a game changer when working with the motor in the car.

The most handy tool I have bought recently is this cooling system flush gun. It saved me from needing to pull the dash to do a heater core in a Jeep. It also worked amazing to flush 85 years of crap out of a Plymouth cooling system. Use the valve to fill everything with water and then close the valve and blast it with 150 PSI of air pressure. The crap it gets moving out of the system is amazing!

I’m a sucker for all the tools. So much so that I’ve gotta get my garage cleaned up so I can fit another toolbox in. But a lot of my bulkier stuff needs to go to storage for a bit.

Favorite ratchet is a 3/8 flex head with long bent handle.
favorite pliers is knipex cobra knock offs that my fiancé bought me a few years ago from Napa.
Favorite wrench is my XL double end, flex head, ratcheting wrenches that my fiancé got me off the TikTok shop. :ROFLMAO:

I have a lot of tools, what’s pictured here is maybe 20% of it all.

This was after a pretty decent sized project. Usually it’s a good bit cleaner. I’m redoing my socket drawer right now, so it’s a tad messy again.
