Love This Tool...
Lower ball joint nut rusted on and after 30 years the only way I was going to get it off was with this...RotoZip! Honestly, this is my go-to tool when it just needs to go.
What is your go-to tool?

How long did it take to cut the nut and bolt with that tool? I've thought about getting one. I recently purchased a Makita oscillating multi-tool that has been very beneficial. I have 2 Makita cordless drills that I have used a lot. Also ordered a Makita cordless impact that I think will be very useful.

My favorite tools are an incredibly good quality set of screwdrivers, to include an impact driver. They are a set of "Vessel Tools" JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard), not phillips-style, but they are phillips compatible (I like to restore antique Japanese motorcycles - all their hardware is actually JIS, not phillips).
There is NOTHING like not worrying about rounding off screws anymore...or screwdrivers for that matter.
I know they seem pricey...but for as often as we all use screwdrivers...you just can't beat'em:

I just bought one of those handheld acetylene torch kits. Got plans to modify a wrench so I can remove the oil pressure sender, and replace it with a real one. Then I've got some brackets I need to weld up to mount an air tank under the cab. It just needs to stop raining so I can crawl under there and take measurements.

Agreed although always looking to save a few beans to buy parts for the truck...that's where CL comes in. Quality used tools at a decent price are still in most cases better than HF.

There is a band called "Tool". Youtube them. Make sure you turn up the volume super high as they are kind of hard to hear..........

Do like my angle grinder and use it a ton as well although it's a bit large and awkward in certain situations.
