Don't laugh, for me it's the heavy duty vacuum cleaner. I can't produce good results when the shop is not clean.

I can't wait to see Sheep's answer to THIS question.  ;D

The stereo.   ;D  It all starts there.  The work can't begin until there's some music in the background. ;)

My Mechanix gloves. Love them. Used to hate to wear gloves when I work.

This time of year the furnace is #1 ;D

We make a lot of the components for Flow Water Jet machines at my work.

This is a tough one. At home either my Snap-On metric swivel socket wrenches  (http://www.matcotools.com/ProductImages/sws_wrench.jpg) or my Dremel (http://www.toolbarn.com/images//dremel/3981-01.jpg) and in the shop my Bondhus ball end hex wrenches (http://www.hobbylinc.com/gr/bon/bon10938.jpg)

Hi John,
I thought it was interesting that Flow and Omax are both within a few miles of each other. Must be a Boeing thing. I know Boeing uses a lot of waterjets, in their manufacturing processes. Really big ones too.

In our shop, the waterjet has become the most used machine tool. Most first operations are done on the waterjet, and then the workpeices move on to cnc mill, lathe, or brake press, for secondary ops. All welded and epoxyed work peices are cut out on waterjet also. No more need for jigs and fixtures. Everything snaps together, with tongue and groove type construction.

Zip ties,  Fixed the Christmas Tree , backyard gazeebo and hung up the Christmas reaths with them. Dont know what I would do without them.  PS  Hi Cam !

Bill Thanks

I was having a problem keeping our christmas tree straight and had almost give up... however after reading your post, I used two heavy duty tie wraps (uk name) and bobs your uncle job done. Perfect, Merry Chritsmas to you.

Hi Bill!
OT
I had to tie my Christmas tree to the ceiling, when my cat started to climb it. He figured that as a real tree, it had to be climbed, and then it would falll over. We now use a fake tree, no more problems.

  Merry Christmas to you Russell,  Glad I could help,  Our cat keeps climbing the fake tree Cameron, maybe I should zip tie the cat to something to make her stop.   

I would have to take back my previous post of "workbench"

I think the tool that gets the most use in the garage is the bottle opener.

Duct tape, you guys have to see the REDGreen show, that guy can use duct tape

dude, so you DID get another pet ferret then?

I no understand what you mean, but I am also PUI.

Sheep's #1 tool in his "garage" !!!  ;D

 :D :D :D  ;D

 ;D

Carlos, my wife wants to know how you got into the garage >:(

I think Carlos meant to post this in the "show your favorite shifter" post.

 :D :D :D :D ;D

I think that is Carlos seatbelt, He just sits on it and it holds him firm.

You are WRONG  :o...........it's actually Sarge's bike seat !!!   ;D

whoa what a vision!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots and lots of rags.

I can't believe I went through 35 posts and no one mentioned my favorite tool...

THE BEER FRIDGE!

 Bought a 36mm wrench today, and a dial gauge...
 I like the 1st because it just looks huge, and the latter because I'm really gonna need that one, when I'm starting an engine build.

micrometer?
whatever that is, i'm just gonna toss it all in and run it  ;)

my favourite tool is my lighter!
so i can have a cigarette break to have a proper look at what i've been doing that whole hour  ;D ;)

 ...to have it break down 40 miles from home like last EBI...  ;D  ;)

 You can borrow it if you like. :P

ouch  ;)

will do  ;D

Just ordered a set of AN wrenches and the Koul Tool Kit. No more "stainless fingers". ...
