Hi tinsnip,

1. Adjustable wrench
2. Ratchet set
3. channel locks
4. hammer
5. grease gun

No, I take it all back... I cannot live without every tool I've ever purchased--at least, that's what I was thinking at the time...! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Two each of every tool known to man. Grease gun, large crescent, set of end wrenches, large box end wrenches, and complete socket set 2 inch on down, with a few metric thrown in for good measure.

Hello, my name is gotrocks, and I'm a "tool-a-holick." /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

All the ones that I presently own. I need them all, that is why I have them.

Thanks for the honest replies. And a note of encouragement to those of you suffering (or enjoying the heck out of) toolaholism. I for one am taking the vow to quit. Just as soon as I get a grease gun and some shop towels.

I went off the deep end and bought a Snap-On box and filled it with their tools some years back. Their stuff is all that and a bag of chips! It's just OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE.

I like their ratchets and sockets, but my favorite is their combination wrenches. They always seem to fit better, work at angles that other brands don't like, and they look so daggone nice!

But. Being "old school", my most frequently used tool is a 4lb rubber tipped dead blow hammer. (also Snap-On)

If you can't fix it, get a bigger hammer!

1. Adjustable wrench
2. Socket set
3. Combination wrenches
4. hammer

6. screw driver set
