Was thinking about this recently ...
Based on how much you paid for it, if anything, how long you've had it & how often you've use it. Hopefully it should be more than a open end wrench or pair of vice grips (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Mine was a Hobart handler 130. Bought it used with lrg bottle for $99. MANY yrs ago & its still going strong use it almost daily. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

For a single tool that I've owned for a while, would be a floor jack. Bought probably 15-16 years ago, low profile aluminum.
If a "tool" also included wrench sets, then I would say my SnapOn socket/spanner set I bought some 35 years ago. |

If a "tool" also included wrench sets, then I would say my SnapOn socket/spanner set I bought some 35 years ago. I'll second the floor jack. Bought from Montgomery Ward when I was 17 (just over 50 years ago), still going strong. Used it 3 days ago to check brake pads on the 914. All steel, that sucker is HEAVY. Can't tell you how many cars it has been under, or how many VW engines I pulled with it. |
