    My 3 favorite tools.

    I'd have to say these three. Can't live with out any of them.

    The Snap ON mini impact wrench is great for removing and installing nuts and bolts. I don't use it to tighten though and only to install to the point where it seats, then tighten by hand or torque wrench.

    8,10,12 and 14 T handles are a "must have" too. This particular brand you can slide the "T" part back and fourth for more leverage with it having a notch and ball set up for it to lock in center.

    Sears work light is EXTREMELY durable! I have lost count how many times I dropped it with no harm and NEVER broke the dual lights in it. Comes with 20 or 25' cord. About $30 or so. I had it for at least 5 years now. Had the regular work light years ago with heavy duty work bulbs - it gets no stamp of approval from me as that was always breaking bulbs and too bulbous to get into places.

    They changed mine a bit over the years but here is the link to all the lights they have.

    So what's your favorites?

    lol the garage is a right tip the messiest its ever been

    well no. 1 has to be the oxyactelene torch. every garage needs one its just so versatile you can do pretty much anything with it.



    no .2is this small 1" belt sander just very useful for taking sharp edges off stuff and finish shapes off. great tool to have!!.


    and last but certainly not least you need a compressor, spraying, grinding , air impact wrench etc. and make sure you have a good length of hose to go with it



    these are just a few of the tools that are great i could go on for hours.

    My favorite tools are hard to narrow and depend on project and mood but as I make this post these are the three I can think of (I'm too lazy to get real pics this morning):

    My Hobart welder (favorite welder soon to be upgraded to a Miller 251)


    My IR 231 Impact


    And of course, my Model 3 tubing bender
    '02 Honda 416ex - A seasoned blend of 11 herbs and spices
    '04 Honda Recon - The yard machine and snow plow
    '88 Honda CR250R - Another chapter in my torrid all terrain affair

    lmao well http://totalcar.index.hu/images/tort...ant/robin1.jpg all that has been used from these 3 wheelers is the engine and gearbox, fortunately nothing else. the 3 wheelers engine now nestles nicely in this


    i think one day it would be fun to put the engine back in a standard robin and blow off some porches etc

    if you look closely you will see that the shelf there is the buggered engine parts shelf. That block has holes on both sides
