What is your favorite tool to work on a bicycle?

-
Any pictures? Would love to see them.

I have several 6 inch, a couple 12 inch, a 15" and a 18"
Still need to find a 4, 8, and 10. I have some 8s and 10s but not this old. The old ones say DROP FORGED STEEL on the handle. I really like the ones with the nice patina. The 6" are the ones I use most often.

here's one of the 6"

My wife thought I was nuts when I said I was going to clean it up. Still works like new!

Vice grip, but not on anything really good.
Monkey wrenches should only be used on pipe...Period. (just my opinion).

Mine is not a specific bicycle tool, but it's still my favorite tool to work with.
It can do a lot of the hard work that most other tools can't handle.
It's like a portable bench vice.

I'm gonna have to go for that big pipe wrench. When I pull that out, it means I have exhausted using all my "pretty" tools and chemicals on whatever it is that is stuck (seatpost, what's left of a pedal, etc.). Now it will either move or shear off - either way, time no longer stands still on the repair.:sunglasses:
