Favorite "must have" tool

admin

What is the 1 tool or accessory that you use daily that has made your life easier?  Tell us what it is, where you got it (a link might be nice).  Others may want one too.For me, lately, it's been my umbrella holder!  It's been so hot!  Home made, from scrap stuff like EMT, nuts, bolts, pipe, and the wife's patio umbrella.

Reply:A Leatherman is probably my most used tool because I always have it with me no matter what I'm doing. I prefer the Wave model.HH 187Miller Bluestar1EAHP AlphaTig 200X

Reply:Got to love it "and the wife's patio umbrella." I bet  that your wife loves that  unless she is the one sitting on the back of your pickup in the shade of that patio umbrella sitting back on that chair watching you work your butt off.Co-Own CNC shop:Miller :1251 plasma cutter, MaxStar 700 TIG/Stick, & XMT 456 Multiprocess Welder.&  2 Hypertherm HPR260's Plasma CutterSorry I had a bad stroke but now I am back.

Reply:By the way.  Nobody commented on those beautiful welds!  Would you believe it's .035 flux-core?  Look at that heat rings around the eye-bolt nut on the pipe!
