Surprisingly enough, my floor model drill press. For years I drilled all my holes with a hand drill, and never thought much about it. On my first wedding anniversary, about 18 years ago, my wife bought me a 16 speed floor model drillpress. It is amazing how much I use that thing. Oh yeah, I love my mig, and my torches, and---and---and---, but that drill press takes the cake!!!Old guy hot rodder

man, hard to choose just one, and my shop isn't even set up yet. My first thought was the aceteylene set, it was the first high-dollar investment I made. it is a Smith, and needs new O rings, but hasn't given me a moment of trouble. Except the dam bottles keep running out.. dam... Second tool to come to mind was the little 120V flux-core MIG. It splatters something awful, but is SO handy! the next tool to come to mind would definitely be my 4" angle grinder. With a cut off wheel, it surgically removes cancer, cuts exhast tubing to exact specifications, etc. With a grinder disc it smooths welds, eats bondo, rust, etc. With a knotted wire wheel it strips paint and bondo, and leaves an almost polished finish. But I think that my next major purchase is going to trump them all: an air compressor! it will be so nice to actually be able to use my many air tools!.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

My four inch grinder, my arc welder, my gas torch and my mig. With these I can add metal on, take it off, cut holes, bend steel or shape it any way I want. I would be lost without them.johnboy

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.

".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
