I have Snap-on dead blow style hammers, you are right about how great they are. Take them for granted until you use a regular hammer on something.

Another tool I really like is my Wilton ATV series vise. It is awesome to keep in your truck. I have a bigger Wilton on a stand, but when you really need to put some pressure on something, your truck makes a good mount.

 

well, i HAVE been collecting tools for over 45 years. so that has a little bit to do with the over 100 grand worth of tools out in the shop and trucks.

 

I've got a floppy head ratchet with an angled handle that has made my life easier many, many times.

 

My Snap On flank drive plus wrenches are my Favorite must have tools .
Snap On short double box end wrenches come in second , Gearwrench flex head third .

 

Flank drive plus are awesome. Makes an open end wrench grip like a box end. Nothing comes close to Snap-on. I was a dealer until last October, my back and knees are failing and I am not able to continue. Surgeon won't even touch my back. My aspirations of being a gymnast have been shattered . I have to go slow and be careful with everything. Wrenching on my truck keeps my mind occupied but I really have to be creative with it to not hurt myself.
