Best tool you have ever bought

Random discussion guys
whats the best tool you have ever bought.

think for me its possibly a cordless drill
2nd would proberly be my big hammer that magically fixes anything
clarkson style

what about you lot anything specific?

I always thought a big 'ammer was the best tool ever .... 'til I bought an even bigger 'ammer

Didn't we have this discussion the other week?...

Trim removal tools - best 8 quid I've ever spent.
When I stripped the interior out of our D1 I didn't break a single clip using that little set.

Trim removal tool sounds nice! Any pics of what's in the set?

I'm not sure could I single out one tool in particular but probably the main ones that not many people have that I'd really miss if they were gone would be my tyre machine, lathe and oxy-acetylene set... Oh and I couldn't live without my lift too... Suspension rebuilds and engine swaps used be lots of fun without it!

A good hoist is a useful piece of kit, alright. Specially if youre working on your own a lot, as I am.

Making my tool wish list longer!

I dont do google to decide, all I can say my snappy one is the tits, been driven over and abused for 4 years. Down side can only get batteries off snappy man so milwaukee gets points for that

The milwaukee makes the Clarke look a dremel. Pricey though. Used to have nice one but the batteries cost a fortune, then it died.

Personally my best ever tool is a land rover excellent for all sorts of jobs such as mobile scaffolding, stump pulling, carpet lifting, carting crap about, straitening other vehicles out etc. A truly multi function tool

I have the snapon one and wouldn't be with out it also have the cordless drill
