Outside of my plier or pocketknife I think it is my wire brush mounted on an old sickle grinder. From buffing points to cleaning up old bolts I don't know how I could get along without it.

my ion phase diplexer with the inverse coaxial resonator. If that don't fix it, I got a big honkin' hammer I hits it with, then I open a beer.

Duct Tape and a Hammer

If it moves and it shouldn't-- Duct tape it.
If it doesn't move and it should ----Hit it.

Have a good day

Nobody mentioned the internet or their cell phone! As for real tool it has to be cordless drill.

Really tough to answer that Question!!!

I would have to say my "BRAIN!"

My brain is what I use the most on the farm and in most things I do. Whether visualizing, analyzing, contemplating, imagining, calculating, organizing, or scrutinizing... I have to rely on it more than my hands and feet. And without it's usage... I would not have the skills in my hands to machine, weld, build, deconstruct, repair, and do what is required on any job.

Now, I know that is not what you were asking about (and I know it is a given... for any of us) so I will say that my most used tools would be pocket knives (I usually carry several for different jobs... i.e. good knife with razor sharp blade, old knife for prying and digging). I also carry a "Gerber" (brand) multi-tool plier, plus a small cresent wrench in my pants pockets. They are the first things that I reach for when I need a small handtool. As for power tools... it is a toss up between the stationary 5hp grinder/wire wheel, the drill press, metal chop saw, the torch (fire-wrench), and the metal lathe.

Interesting question (to say nothing of some interesting answers....) but I'd have to say it's my cordless drill. Sure does spoil you! It's a screwdriver, ratchet, drill, grinder, cut-off wheel (and occasionally hammer, paperweight, and plumb bob) all in one.

For power tools, either my cordless drill or angle grinder. For mechanial, probably the vise. Something's always getting clamped in there and ruined. :)

Hopefully the drill press is rise to the top now that I'm done restoring it...
