    Tools: Show us your favorite, useful, or interesting tools

    ~ Tools ~

    ________________________________

    I thought it would be fun to show off some of our tools or you could post a tool and see if people even know what it is. Really just a place to talk tools.


    Here is a cool old Craftsman ratchet that I actually really love. It moves well and has a cool thumb switch for quick selection:

        True, true, it makes me breakfast every morning and get me off every night.



        this is mine, removes ball joints and tie-robs in seconds, and doesn't destroy boots.

              here is my favorite E30 tool. It works great to straighten all bent body panels after drifting on public streets in heavy traffic after a good R3V, and it also gets those hard to remove control arms loose no problem. actually I like to use it for EVERYTHING I can.

                Thats sledge hammer is called "Yo ho" thought that was kinda funny. Is that what you say before you wack the person in the face. "Yo hoe!!" you yell, watching their face turn to look in your direction right before the hammer impacts; crushing their face.

                      Channellocks seem to stay alot sharper than other brands. Do you do a lot of wiring?

                        Is this a BMW tool? I know of a guy who has one that is similar, and it has a bmw PN.
