One Tool Only -- A Contest -- No Prize -- Just Your Honest Opinions

Gary's post sparked this idea --

Here is the deal --

Lets say you are going on a long trip -- and you need to take a tool with you of your choice.

However, you can only have (1) tool.

What would it be?

I have one I have had since 1999. -- and I will post a couple of pics -- but first, lets see what all of you experts think a good tool would be.

Best,

That's what I was thinking also. Second would be a Swiss Army knife.

Here is what has been super useful to me many times --

I am going to try and replace or add a blade using a Penn wrench.

We will see if that is possible.

The vise grip feature works better than the dozen or so real vise grips I have.

A narrowed 6/0, loaded with all the good stuff we have available here. The tool needs to be dependable, that one fits the bill

I think the most important tool you can bring is between your ears!  On the farm you use what you got.  Even if what you got is far from perfect.  That is when what is between your ears becomes most valuable.

My 2 cents...

All you need is a Swiss Army knife and your best MacGyver skills.  I'd take a Leatherman over the Swiss Army knife but the MacGyver skills are mandatory.

I have to admit that I carry a knuckle buster like that also.  I have one in my car all the time.  Also in my tackle box and tool box.  It seems that all the family have given me one as a present at one time or another.  Even Daron sent me one for Christmas.  Dominick
