Favorite car tool - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I finally got a nice craftsman rolling storage tool box for the garage as a early birthday gift. I love being organized and actually being able to find my stuff.

All this tool organization stuff made me think, what's my favorite car tool that I can't live without. For me that would be my snapon sockets that don't round off the edges of my nuts.

What's your favorite tool you can't live without?

Ingersoll Rand 2115TIMAX 3/8-Inch Drive Titanium Impact Wrench
And the flat ratchet they are both must haves!

Michelin low profile floor jack 32" of under reach...Front or back up in seconds and can get under the lowest of cars.

This is by far my favorite tool. I'm really surprised Craftsman hasn't come up with these.

Can't forget this one too:

The double ratcheting system makes loosening and tightening those loose nuts so easy. No more hand tightening the nut on. That screwdriver makes anything easy and quick.

Gearwrench pass-through socket set.

I've got something very similar, but made by Stanley. I've given them out as holiday gifts. Basically the same thing but doesn't extend

I've had all manner of success using this little thing right here

Well I gotta say as a technician at a dealer my favorite tool is the pocket screwdriver . That little guy has saved me so much time ill stop what I'm doing and look for it if I misplace it...

Hammers are nice too I guess haha

I'd say my trim removal tools.
