and why?

me? a clamp. I try to hold things together til they stick then go on to the next task

A torque wrench. I push things as far as they can go but know when to back off…(sometimes) 😀

A cheap set of hex keys, because I’m well rounded

(i’ll get my coat)

What do you mean ‘if’?

One of those free ones from a mag. Look ok but basically useless.

I’ll be a chain bath, cos all I seem to do is wash up.

Edit – that’s not really a tool, is it 😳

*waits for someone to say “a tool box, cos i’d like you all inside me” *

I’m not sure what it’s called… not even really sure what it’s for, but I bet it’s bloody useful. If only I could work it out.

Used to be a guy at work who had the nickname “the Gimlet” for 30 odd years before he retired. A Gimlet is a small boring tool.. 😀

I’m a spanner.

A Swiss Army Knife

Handy,if there are no other tools around

Something expensive that has a specific purpose and only gets used now and then 🙂

A set of molegrips. Useful in a “not quite the right tool for the job, but works anyway” way.

a 5.5mm hex key, fills the holes that have gone a bit slack through overuse.

There a tool called molegrips? LOL

Serious?

Emsz. You’ve really never heard of mole grips? Seriously?

Think of it as an adjustable spanner crossed with a locking set of pliers that can be used for just about everything that requires locking, clamping or turning in a spannery/pliery way.

Mole grips are rubbish compared to Speetog clamps, though – love those things.

Willard, oh yeah I’m forever messing about with tools! 🙄

Mole Grips.

I think I’d probably be a large flat-blade screwdriver. You know the one everyone has in their shed, gets used daily but has never actually turned a screw in its life. But it’s stirred paint, levered up floorboards, prised apart casings, scraped off rust, chiselled…

I’ve got…

Geek fact of the day: the screwdriver was invented before the screw. It was for, as you said, levering and prying stuff.

Happy little fellas, aren’t they? 🙂

A man u fan…

Although I’ve always admired Allen keys. Not literally of course.

wobble bar, pretty much like my riding really…

Unhinged.

There a tool called molegrips? LOL

It’s what I’m named after. I’m a tool.

I’m a tool that everyone else keeps borrowing and rarely gets put back where it belongs!

a punch or a scribe..

premiership footballer would be a tool id like to be.

Does a dildo qualify?
