Plenty of toolbox use then
Hard to argue with that. My 1/4 mac socket set has been put to good use these past couple of days with scoob ownership. Hence the thread

My favourite tool in my toolbox is a bent knife. Handy for odd jobs e.g. unscrewing torch and to unflip the back of my TV remote control.

Mr. T for Turbohot and T for Tool is a proud owner of a wide range of Snap Ons, but his favourite tool used to be the double sided tape. I remember when our hoover broke in 1996. He couldn't be bothered putting it together properly with his tools, and taped it together with his shortcut medium i.e. double-sided tape. If a pan handle broke, he'd fix it for me with his stupid double-sided tape instead of putting handle back with something as simple as my bent knife and a few screws. It still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Using double sided tape is just daft. Duct tape or rip ties are the way of the future

Oh right. Just as well I picked some duct tape from Aldi the other day. My daughter dear on Uni break has already threatened me with that. Since I've heard that James Blunt song "You're Beautiful" on Scoobynet, I can't bleddy stop singing it- it's so bleddy catchy, man. I'm cleaning my injured cat's cage, I'm singing it. I'm making tea for us, I'm singing it. Ms. Turbohot Junior has warned me that if I don't stop, she's gonna seal my mouth with that Aldi duct tape. Grrrrrr.

I have a socket/spanner set from Halfords, 100 pieces I think? Anyway it's been invaluable and was cheap, no issues with quality at all. Snap on is for posers.

There are tools in the toolbox that really take the ****, such as allen keys, I regularly pick up about 20 that look exactly the right size before I actually get the one that is the right size.

I've got a dremmel which is rather cool. The only useful think I've really done with it is port and polish a nitro motor for a radio controlled car though lol.

Correct.

Dremmel is cool as. It enabled me to give a finish to a community art work that I facilitated among a very endearing community. It was worth buying. Thank you, Dremmel!

Being a mechanic I have got alot of snap on tools but my favourite has to be the mini ductor 2 which can heat siezed bolts to 250c. Came in useful when I removed the rear subframe on my classic scooby

14mm flexi head ratchet spanner is quite handy for working on subaru, not my favorite but used a fair bit.

snap on is not for posers, guess it depends on how much you work. halfrauds, draper expert, king dick, falcom, brit tool, dont even get me started on teng pish all break surprisingly easily. cheaper to buy snap on first time around.
