    Double sided ratcheting wrench. From Sears. 1/4 and 5/16 for those hard to get after cabinate screws. I think I paid $6 and use it almost every day.

    I will buy the next stubby 1/4 and 5/16 nutdrivers I see for the same reason.

    6" Pipewrench for getting rounded valve ends to turn when some dumba@@ used his crescent wrench to open those valves on a refer unit.

    My favorites that I use at least once a day are my Klien 6" magnetic 1/4 and 5/16 nut drivers and my Fluke 52-2.I use them almost every call and I would be lost without them.

    We've been doing so much,for so long,with so little, that now we can do almost anything, with nothing at all.

    umm just one pick

    my Gerber multi tool is on the lower cost of top tools.... i would also pick the clamp meter specifically the 902. how do you go to a service call and not pull out a meter lol between the two sometimes the veto sits in the truck..... not very often does that happen tho lol
    Gotta have the right tool for the job!

    Where is all the stuff MADE IN THE USA?
