Or you could just bring a paperclip and not have to listen to his annoying banter.

I have a Craftsman ratcheting wrench I bought about 16 years ago that is 1/2 on one side 9/16 on the other. Also fits 13 and 14 mm. I can disassemble 70% of the truck with that.

That was one of my first picks, but I realized that an adjustable vice grips gives you the same possibilities plus a lot more.

Beer...

the crescent wrench will often round off nuts and bolts..........and then you grab the vise grip to turn them.

What about bringing Jesus along?
I mean if the guy can turn water to wine, or raise the dead... replacing some sheared stud bolts should be cake, right?

I wouldn't consider Jesus a "tool"

I'd bring my claymore.... Since "there can be, only one"....

Could you explain what you could do w/ channel locks that you could not w/ large vice grips? I'm curious.

A good size pair can open almost as wide, certainly bigger than any bolt on a truck.

I can't think of anything I couldn't do with vice grips that I can with channel locks, I just never use vice grips for some reason.

 

[jeepinmatt]

The 90 degree angle on the head of channel locks can reach into places that straight bodied vice grips cannot. Also, the channel locks have a higher dynamic range per squeeze of the grip, so you can undo the annoying hose clamps on radiator hoses and such.

...isn't that just a spray painted pine 2x4 ?....... I would not classify lumber as a tool.

 

[RobMcBee]

So far I've only seen one "tool" in this thread.....

 

[mysterync]

There's one tool in my shop I can grab for anything from roll pins partially pushed out to rounded off bolts, heavy enough to beat on stuff etc http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=640880&group_ID=681237

cool, its like a combo of channel locks and vice grips. If it just had a sharp edge to use as a cutter (like some vice grips) I think this thread would be over.

 

[mysterync]

If it'll go over it, it'll turn it. I'd say if cutters were installed it'd have no issues cutting.
