| I have to agree with the torch. I can have 10 different ways to get a nut loose, but when none of them work I can always rely on the torch to do the job. |

I like dykes.
That may not be spelled correctly, and I don't think they call it that anymore.

UPDATE!
New favorite tool!
Bosch 10.8V Impactor Impact Driver! WOW what a tool, and "palm of your hand" small, like Chickengeorge! 800 in-lbs of torque and at only two pounds, small enough to carry in your pocket.
I also get a lot of use out of my air die grinder with oval rotary carbide burr. |

i will have to say my torque tool. it was the best money i ever spent, now i can remove a flywheel or rear drums with a 3/8 drive ratchet and 11 mm socket instead of a 36 mm socket 6 foot cheater bar and too many to count broken pull handles:D

They do have screw cap bottles.
I called one a church key one day, and my 37 yr old daughter didn't even know what I meant.
