Re: What's your favorite tool?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ds1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">No doubt it is the welder. Team that with a good air compressor and your world is wide open. I have a Hobart 180 mig. My compressor is a Craftsman 80 gallon tank. </div></div>
YES on the welder and compressor in the south the humidity is crazy so I love the chiller I made for mine using an old small dorm refrig (2 ft 2 ft) and a coil of heavy copper tubing spooled inside, after having cool dry air, it's one thing I can't live without.

Re: What's your favorite tool?
<span style="font-size: 14pt">Been collecting some unusual Mallory dizzies for a while and had a fellow in AZ that would curve them for me. Being here in OH now gave me an excuse to get the dizzy machine myself!
Found this 20 mins from my hometown of Canfield and picked it up in a blizzard last weekend. Build date of my 504 is 2nd Quarter 1969... just in time to dial in my 06A built '69 Chevelle! </span> P.S. am looking for the rolling cabinet that this 504 sits on (see my "Parts Wanted" in our classified section).

Re: What's your favorite tool?
<span style="font-size: 14pt">These pieces of gear are built like <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">tanks</span></span>. Tach and vacuum pump are good to go - I have to check out the timing light, dwell, and condenser tester yet. Very rebuildable and all of the parts are available. You can change out some of the capacitors, diodes, and the tube to make the machine more reliable/accurate.</span>

Re: What's your favorite tool?
My most handy tool was, until a former employee lost it, my 3/8 drive Snap-On cordless impact.
My favorite tool(s) to use are Pawpaw's old tools. As Sam said earlier, they feel better in your hand and they always seem to feel warmer that my newer stuff.
