1/4 inch impact. I love it for oil pan bolts, valve body bolts (especially the RFE trans with 98 torx VB bolts). It won't strip em out near as fast as a 3/8s will and fits in smaller places.
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

A brand new triple mast side shift 5000Lb pneumatic tire Diesel Toyota Forklift that I bought over 30 years ago, and it paid for itself in its first year, and runs great today with less than 4K hours. and my back is forever grateful.
Maybe not exactly a tool, but it sure did a lot of work for me moving/lifting car stuff..

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

A lift, still waiting to buy one too, lol. i clearly remember the first time I walked under a car in my garage. WOW!!!, what was even more astonishing was the first time i needed another tool and I just walked over, opened the drawer grabbed the tool and walked back under the car. I kept asking myself why did i wait so long. The answer was the same as most. Up to that time I didn't have the needed ceiling height and $$$. Money was tight and we had just borrowed to put the shop up. I came across a couple of cars that needed work and flipped them for the $$ The lathe would be another as would a good sized bandsaw. After 25 years in business I now have way more than I need so little by little I'm offing the bigger stuff. then it will probably be a helluva garage sale  Summer of 2022 I built a garage with a 12ft ceiling specifically so I could finally have lifts. This past spring I installed a 4 post lift. I've already done several engine and transmission oil changes. It's so nice not having to roll or slide under a car. I plan to install a 2 post in the other stall but I ran out of time this summer. Sure will make brake and suspension work easier.
No longer taking $h!t from anyone!

Should we start a new post topic title:
“The tool I would like placed in the coffin with me”
or
The tool I want placed in the same box with my ashes Question #1 -- a pry bar (in case I'm just REALLY sleepy) Question #2 -- a DustBuster (accidents do happen).
