Lets start with my trusty hammer, named Thor's Hammer, it comes with dings, and dents, wear and tear from all the usage of using in and out of the garage for different things. The collection of old and new wrenches- ranging in size, these should fit well into any opening you are unable to get your hands into, each sound of the bearing, its unique quirks and personalities. The adjustable ones are the drama queens of the bunch, they can throw tantrums and slip just when you need them to be reliable. There are also the dirty ones, O The sockets and socket Wrench Some range also in different sizes and many like others before will lose that one special standard size Socket The Myth The Legend The one and only 10MM socket, either it be short or tall, 1/4, 5/8, half they all some how magically disappear.
Speaking of Sockets, every one has the nice shining socket wrench set, looks like its never seen oil or hit the floor. Do you guys have tools just to look like you know what you are doing when it comes to building or maintaining your hot rod ? Some sockets wont take off certain bolts as if the socket and wrench don't want to do the job, you struggle inside and out throw it around until it finally says i give up i will take the bolt off for you.
The other Tool that nothing beats the rhythm of is a power drill, though you have not lived until you've felt the incense rush of suddenly creating a hole in something that was one solid. Its like having the gift of magic one moment its a sturdy piece of metal or wood, and the nest your bestowed upon it the profound status of fresh cold beer. The little marvel that I'm sure many have laughed at and said that's not a drill, This is a Drill can come forth and admit they have had this happen to them in the words of Crocodile Dundy . Lets not forget the most prized possession in our Garages. The old rusty tool box, that was probably passed down from generations, from your old grandfather perhaps your dad, uncles or even just friends. My tool box was given to me by my grandfather, you open it and immediately tell the family history and the scent of linseed oil, Or maybe I've just never cleaned it lol. Each dent, each scratch the layer of grime all tells a story of triumphs, failures.
Who knew a rusty old tool box could hold so many life lessons within its creaky hinges?
In essence, these tools teach me more then just how to build a car, or fix anything around the house. They provide a glimpse in the creativity, collaboration, and the joy of tinkering every fail project, every successful turn of removing a bolt with out breaking, With you losing that 10mm, Every laugh shared with family or friends. Its the joy of wrestling with stubborn screws, bolts, hinges, doors, lawn care equipment, the list is endless. Its the reminder of with these own two hands, I built this. In my Garage, every hammer swing, every socket lost to the abyss brings happiness all wrapped up in the glorious embrace of grease and gasoline, Because in out world of Hot Rodding, OR working around the house The Happiness is Ours.

My hammers mostly do duty for freeing up ball joints and tie rod ends. Occasionally un-sticking drums and rotors, bearing hubs.
