What's in your toolbox?
I recently bought a Clarke CEW1000 electric impact wrench. What a bit of kit! A huge 450nm of torque, and difficult to ignore at a purchase price of just £65. Removing my MV6's hub nuts was an absolute doddle. It took seconds! Wheel nuts, suspension bolts etc. are no match for this badboy!
I'm sure this is going to be one of those tools that I fall into my 'how did I ever manage without it?' category!

What tools (electric or otherwise) repeatedly help you to save masses of time, energy, sanity etc?!

Got myself a Halfords professional torque wrench a few weeks ago.
Finally I can tighten those cam cover bolts up properly.

Re: What's in your toolbox?
I know Halfords is on the receiving end of a fair degree of stick from car forums, but you really can't go wrong with the firm's tools. On the whole, they are well made and offer great value for money (especially for those of us in possession of a trade card). Additionally, all Halfords tools are covered by a lifetime warranty, so keep your receipt somewhere safe!

Where do I start.
AC DCTig welder
Mig welder
Plasma cutter
Mac sockets
Facom ratchets
Torque wrench with digital angle.
The list goes on
My favourite tool is my dewalt cordless 3/8 drive impact wrench. It's so small and powerful

Re: What's in your toolbox?
Um, where do I start?
Sockets, rachets, spanners, screw drivers, compressor (little baby one). nothing special but I'd be lost without them (if I ever get to use them again).

I don't know why I didn't mention this before, but this has to be one of the most essential tools in my garage!

All my tools are from a certain van that comes around once a week and robs me of my wages
