    I'm a fabricator/industrial mechanic (millwright, if you are familiar with the term.) My favorite tool by far is my lucky pipe wrench. What size is the bolt? Doesn't matter. Is the bolt stripped? Doesn't matter. Is it even a bolt? Doesn't matter. Do you need a hammer right now and one isn't in arms reach? Just smack it with the wrench!

    I’ve found the 1/4” drive battery powered ratchets to be a huge waste of $ because it’s so hard to find a socket set that goes larger than 9/16”, so to go any larger you’re always using an adapter…. The 3/8” drive is much more practical for an “all around” ratchet.
