Your favorite tool and why?

[BBates1962]

I guess I would have to say my favorite tool is my brain, I try to use it at least one time a day to make my work easer, today I used it to remind myself that I cant drive a nail with a hammer, so I had better get out the air framing nail gun to hang that picture for the wife.

I have lots of favorites but if I had to just choose one... I guess my original variety Leatherman multi-tool which I like to have on my belt and use daily. It isn't the best at anything but a good enough tool you have with you is better than a perfect tool miles away.

Gearwrench make a set that's almost the same. People that have them really like them.
