metalmangeler Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I would say for me the powerhammer is the tool i am most missing when it is down. Possibly as I have more backups of other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I have an addition to your rule of 2s Neil. I have two ladders, one 2' short, the other 2x to long.Well, now I'm thinking about it. You need: 2x the outlets, 2x the lights, 2x the windows, I'd list it for shop space but it doesn't matter how big the shop is it's too small.Frosty The Lucky.

Quarry Dog Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 "two" small? My magic tool has been knowledge of blacksmithing. I've made many very simple useful tools in the last 3 and a half years that I either would not have had and sorely been wishing I had something better than the junk available, or would have done without the good tool because it cost too much and I couldn't make it. As far as a physical tool, I would have to say chain comealongs. Often times at work I end up with something that looks like a spider web before all is said and done. The crew I used to be on had 5 of them and it was wonderful. Now I only have a little 1/2 ton and a couple of chains that are a half step away from scrap. It takes me three times as long, but still makes impossible jobs a lot more straight forward than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnJockey Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 When cordless drills first came out that was a big one. I agree with the tractor w/ loader but even further down that line are fork lift tines for the loader. And then one of my all time favorites is the palm nailer, they have saved my fingers untold grief installing hangers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Over the years, there have been many tools, Stick welder, compressor, vice, lathe, bench grinder, angle grinder, etc.........but in recent years one piece of equipment has become absolutely indispensable to me..... .....my 2x spectacles....!

KYBOY Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hard to decide..Power hammer, 2 x 72 grinder or maybe its the large horizontal bandsaw..being able to cut 12" wide plate steel in a wonderful straight crisp line is a boon..
