Your Most Useful Tool?

Cordless impact driver followed closely by a 5" angle grinder. So many things are screwed together or bolted together, the impact driver will run sockets in and out with a socket adapter or regular square drive and Philips screw heads. Plenty of torque in a 14.4 volt or higher model. Like a baby impact wrench it is. The angle grinder is so nice for removing nail/screw points that over-penetrated as well as excess bolt threads. Got a lock or chain that won't open? Burn a link open and you're in.

My thumb.

Tape measure. I use it for electrical, plumbing and carpentry projects. I use it for planning, design and for actual construction. I can substitute a rock for a hammer and a butter knife for a screwdriver but if I substitute a cubit (my forearm) for a yard, everything comes out all crooked. How did Noah do it?

Define tool. So either a notebook computer or a cordless drill (or utility knife, pencil is up there, too).

Favorite tool would elicit more interesting answers than useful tool.

The one between my legs !!!!

I am an electronic technician and a computer repairer. My most useful tool is my sense of logic followed closely by a 7-level screwdriver (also known as a tweaker).

I'd rather not say, but: I never bring it out in public or leave home without it.

A milk churn?

butter churn

It's probably a toss up between a phone & vehicle. Although my glasses could be considered a tool. I wonder if clothing articles are considered tools. Hmmmmmmm, maybe my toothbrush & razor.

Good question.

medium-sized crowbar, but i deal with old houses.

Useful, but the index finger is better for picking your nose and smoothing caulk.

A pencil A tape measure A razor knife A clean rag and last but not least My helper, he is a real tool sometimes :)

My new favorite tool and quikly becoming my most useful tool is my distance laser meter. My Disto Plus has an accuracy of + - 1/16th of an inch and a range of 650 ft. As an appraiser doing exterior and interior measuring I don't know how I lived without before. It saves me a ton of time.

Hi, My most useful tool is my brain and hands. Whatever you have, if you don't know how to use it right.... Hey voice recorder? How about PDA in your pocket?

Oh you can dig much deeper into your nose with your finger, but there is nothing like the thumb for maximum collection. BSF: Workers who lose a thumb are severely disabled. You can compensate for the loss of a finger, but not a thumb.

Filters.

So I don't have to read all the crap posted here that doesn't have to do with home repair, or even the topic.
