Just wondering what tool(only one tool) you use everyday. If you didn't have
It what would you do? One of mine is my snap on ratcheting screwdriver. I use it every single day and love it and would be lost without it .:rocker:

Tell us yours:rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker:

my streamlight stylus pro. Love the thing to death, always in my pocket. Without it i would be in a very dark place (lol) and would have to deal with bulky shop lights.

Pocket screwdriver. Can't even fix a sandwich without one. I even grab for it when I'm not wearing my work uniform on the weekends.

I EDC and use daily my leatherman Juice S2, and 4Sevens mini AA XPG S5 upgraded to 3.7v 14500 Li-Ion. I like the Juice b/c for me it is the perfect size multi tool - not key chain small and not massive drag-your-pants-down big. Plus it doesn't sit have that STUPID space consuming and useless corkscrew that so many multitools seemed to have until just recently. I like the MINI AA b/c it is bright as **** for a light just barely larger than a AA battery, and it survives nearly five years of EDC use and abuse and hasn't even flinched.

I usually load my back pocket with a Craftsman adjustable, Craftsman water pump pliers and a Klein 5 in 1 screwdriver when I get to work.

I've had all 3 for quite a long time.

My victorinox Swiss army knife. Huntsman model. Last week, I lost the one that I'd had for the last 25 years. Today, I bought a new one. The world is right once again.

What tool do I use every day? I probably can't say, here.

Let me guess, it's your *****.:rocker:


Flashlight here too, Jetbeam RRT-01. 3 inches long, variable brightness (0-500 lumens) means it's never blinding and perfect for almost any application except maybe search and rescue.

If you don't include the obvious (brain, hands, etc.), then I'd say there are only three tools that I use every day, almost without exception.

#1 - My keychain flashlight. I'd be f'ed without it.
#2 - My cellphone. It's my link to the world.
#3 - My pocket knife. Probably the most useful (and used) tool that I own.

1/4" drive Harbor Freight roto head ratchet with a 10mm deep well socket.

I mostly work on Japanese motorcycles, and this thing is in my hand way more than any other tool. I just leave the 10mm socket permanently in place on this ratchet.

It's also very common on cars from anywhere in the world, so the 10mm gets a ton of use no matter what.


I also have a HF composite ratchet set up with an 8mm socket. Same deal -- I'm gonna need it pretty much every project, so it just stays on the ratchet.


Third most used would probably be a really long 4mm ball end t-handle hex driver, 4mm hex is very common on fairing fasteners -- I've worn out at least two of these drivers. I think it's a Bondhus.
