so do you guys have any favorite tools or equipment that make working on projects easier or better,or any homemade tools that get the job done? I will start with my Gear wrench ratcheting wrenches, Hitachi impact driver, and a good set or torx bits. Recently I was privileged with helping a buddy build a bumper for an xj and we got to use an esab 550 plasma that made the job soo such easier. So whats your favorite tools?

The BFH is a must for any shop! The plasma and the welder are definately a plus if you have the space, next on the list a tubing bender! The smoke wrench is definately another handy gadget if you cant get your hands on a plasma cutter.

My favorite tool is my cell phone. Anytime I try to do anything, I have to call Old YJ, YJ Aaron, or OJTV8CJ. Its amazing how much work I have been able to do with one hand.

I don't have any tools I guess. Even changing out a battery had to use Jimmy-rigged tools. Cell phone wouldn't work for me to call for tools cause I wouldn't know how to use them. I just need a crew of Jeep members who have been very helpful and very much appreciated.

My favorites would be a snap on ratcheting screwdriver, plier set, and a BFH. Those are good starter for hand tools!

What happens when you need to work on your Jeep Sanchez? Do you send Aaron to go pick up your tools?

No, i keep my tools tucked away in a safe spot & Aaron is scared to touch them. Oh, wait, what tools are you asking about?

Probably the ones that are still at Alex's house from Wrench Day. I guess a lot of the tools there are mine too...
