I thought it would be great to start a thread.. where we could share.. info on tools that have made life easier.. I think whether they're store boughten.. or custom made.. I'm always in the quest for looking for an easier or better way..

Eastwood tubing flare tool. Very rarely am I impressed by a tool. This thing never gives a bad flare. Use it with steel, nicad, and stainless. Perfect every time.

Does it have a feature that bonks you on the head and reminds you to put the flare nut on?

I had thought that the battery impact was the handiest thing I had found in a long time. Until I found the battery ratchet.
It's even handier because I use it much more often than the impact. Plus it has a little light which I felt, at first, was gimmicky. But, it really helps these old eyes.
Master, again and still

This is one of those tools that I've always just had hanging around.. weather I'm doing valve spring keepers or reaching for a washer or not that I've dropped.. it seems as though this is one of the tools that I find myself using more and more.. typically can be found at your local auto parts store or Grainger for around 10$
