We all have a little baby that we cuddle with all the time during race weekends or when preparing back home. Post a picture and tell your story!

It's time for "Dremel Boy" or whoever to come outta the closet!!! :lol:

soldering iron..... got to be a good one, decent tip, temp controlled and quick at heating up.... after burning out one or two, I finaly think I got the right one.... sounds more like dating than soldering.... heehee

If it was work, then it would have to be the tool for fitting the pivot pin on a Tornado wing pivot point..... loads of liquid nitrogen.... leather boots, apron and gauntlets...

SHY 18-03-2008 12:01 PM

LOL! Good start guys!!! :lol:

What's pillars?

dan_kitty 18-03-2008 12:52 PM

at the moment mines a hudy body reamer, when i started the hobby i swore i would never spend silly money on a tool for just making holes in plastic that will probably only get used twice a year.

I guess i must be commited to invest in one now. still in packet though

Southwell 18-03-2008 01:00 PM

Guys, I said favorite TOOL! Not fool... :D

The one tool you use more than any other tool!

I've seen some people play with their "wacky tacky" cleaning gum all the time, they use it as an "anti stress" thing I believe :D

Thomas P 18-03-2008 02:30 PM

My Tamiya Craft Tool Screwdrivers which I got when I was 11 and are still going strong. Also the curved scissors (also Tamiya) which make cutting Lexan a piece a p***.

Dude! in less than 2 years ....

But anyway, mine would be:

Mini Vise-Grip a.k.a. mini Monkey Wrench.
Very useful for holding parts you attack with the Almighty Dremel :-) Or soldering iron. or X-Acto. Or blowtorch. A finger-saver, really. Which can be important in R/C!!!

MK999 18-03-2008 03:02 PM

the pliers and grips combo has saved me a couple times, makes bent things straight ! :woot:

twisty 18-03-2008 03:08 PM

Has to be the Tamiya box spanner,i always have one in my loose change pocket.

Lee 18-03-2008 03:33 PM

Mine would be ashley too:woot:

But if were talking about useful things it would have to be my new shock piston drill bits, they have to be looked after because they really are little babies


Joke by the way for the ashley appreciation society (ass for dislexics):lol:

josh_smaxx 18-03-2008 03:54 PM

My favourite tool is LEGEND, no joke, he really is useful.

After that is the model knife i got when i was 9 (2001/2002), still on original set of blades and still stoopidly sharp.

Lee 18-03-2008 03:57 PM

Model knife??

When do you get a full size one:woot:

Yeah thanks for calling me a "tool" anthony, I really appreciate that...:(

RogerM 18-03-2008 05:56 PM

I'd say my very-near calipers

Chrislong 18-03-2008 07:21 PM

I have a pair of old pliers with lovely soft grips, there hard enough to tw@t things with, and grip anything.

They went missing at Worksop, think Leon 'borrowed' them when we were track building and I was panicing a bit, they appeared on my pit box when tidying up - like someone had just realised "oh yeh, give them back" if Id have seen them (likely: Leon) id have been pulling teeth out, LOL, I hate any tools going walkies - especially not my pliers.

Al3xis007 18-03-2008 08:20 PM

prob use my 50 thou tool more than i should. hudy professional's tho.

i do like using my chuff off sized pliers as a hammer lol :D

Mole Grip.

How anyone lives without a mole grip is beyond me.

Mike Hudson 19-03-2008 01:36 AM

Gotta be my adjustable wrench ;) Pliers and soldering iron :P

emzy 19-03-2008 04:58 PM

Personally, I like hammers... they do more damage.

Although my favourite has to be a driver we have that's called Fred... Dad named him in the hope that I'd make friends with him and put him to use every now and then... (fat chance!!). He's been through it all with us has Fred...!

Good one! For welding it's irreplacable! It's even better than a real helping hand! :thumbsup:

The wise grip is also a great item! Wise guy Elvo tipped my about that... I use it more and more!
