What is the best all around item in you tool box?

As the title says.

spud wrench

The tools in my pack that I use the most often, other than ratchets and screwdrivers, are a small pick/awl and an 18" crowbar

Used them both fixing my 242 today... the pick/awl was used to help guide the oil pickup tube into the pump, and the crowbar was used to break the old RTV seal

single most used tool?
1/2" Gearwrench ratchet wrench..

I have special bent craftsman standard screwdrivers used and small pry bars.

 

[Root Moose]

Bottle opener followed closely by C-4.

 

[akelts]

Easy...BFH.

I would say one of my most handy tools is a toss up between my angle grinder or my cut off wheel

 

[bigalpha]

spud wrench

How come?

 

[souske]

How come?

Its a crecent wrench, a line up bar, a prybar and a hammer (if you are desperate)

 

[bigalpha]

TBH, I actually have a few of them I inherited from my grandpa but never know the purpose of the pointed end until now.

Used a lot in the ironwork trade, I have a couple of the adjustable spuds myself. Very handy tool.

Depends on if you are lifted or stock, and what frequently needs attention on your rig. That being said, I always wheel with the largest adjustable open end wrench that I own. That, and about a hundred other tools.

spud wrenches are cool i guess, if your aligning i-beams... i have an alignment tool thats basically a tapered shaft, does the same thing at a third of the price.... i havent used an adjustable wrench since high school...

Best tool for the job, no, but the thread title is "what is the best all around item in your toolbox?":twak:

 

[RedHeep]

Multi-tool, leatherman or gerber.

When it comes to multi-tools, leathermans and gerbers pale in comparison to SOG multi-tools. Check em out.

They are useful for large nuts, things like transfer case drain plug, jamb nut on the trackbar, etc. In fact I just recently bought two new ones, a bigger one for the shop, and a medium one for the bag. Easier to carry one than a bunch of large wrenches that I'm unlikely to need. Already had a couple of small ones that are pretty much useless but keep them in the other car for emergency purposes (limited tools in that car)

I have 2 large adjustable wrenches and honestly very rarely use them. I think I just forget about them but for stuff like large jam nuts I was happy to have them.
