40 dollar Harbor Freight electric impact wrench. Zips lugs off quickly and can break most passenger car bolts loose. Well worth the price.

Harbor Freight is just ridiculous for seldom-used tools. I hate to buy from them but it's hard not to sometimes. Pallet jack that I may never use again? Harbor Freight.

This thing is fucking dope. It's a universal nut driver for 1/4" sockets, but also has the female end to make it a ratchet extension. I need the 3/8" version. Every mechanic needs one of these.

Knipex 13-160 is EDC in work pant tool pocket.
Pro's;
Strip 14-18-20 (also a 10-12-14 model),
cut wire/cable like a dream,
tips can act as flat blade screwdriver,
zip-tie puller/trimmer,
crimp ferrules,
turn locknuts,
strip cable jackets,
pull out slim Phoenix fuse holders,
punch KO's,
pull nose hairs,
trimmed weeds on occasion,
place/terminate wire in crowded j-box

German steel
Con's:
~$40,
fear of losing
Second is my moto scissor lift on wheels. Easily bring the work up to comfortable height, and wheel dis-assembled bikes around garage. (non-skid mat is hosed due to many oil/chemical baths, soon to be replaced)
Third is the aforementioned Knipex PliersWrench. I have a 7" set, super versatile. Low profile, narrow jaws can access difficult places. Smooth jaws don't mar delicate finishes. Special design multiplies the power generated, my 7" pair can deform a penny pretty goodLast edited by bluespark; 05-07-2017 at 09:11 PM.

8" wustoff chef's knife.
I've had dozens and dozens of fancy and/or speciality knives in my life but none have been anywhere as useful or as durable as the standard chef's knife.
