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...

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

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

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***.

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!!!

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:

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.

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.

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!
