Favorite Motorcycle tool

[trinc4me]

I received a set of those T-handle ball-end allen wrenches several years ago and they are great.

I've got a pair of 1/4 and 3/8 drive Facom ratchets that I love if I have to work in a tight spot. They have twice as many teeth so you can use them in spaces where you can't get a click on a regular ratchet.

Just got a worklight that I really like: http://www.automotivetoolsonline.com/Bayco-SLR-2166-66-LED-Dual-Function-Rechargeable-Worklight-_p_15313.html

Oh, and an air compressor is pretty darned handy too!

That re-chargeable light looks like the ticket. I have a retractabe 3-plug extension cord mounted above my work bench, but always seem to run out of outlets....how long can you work effectively before the light starts to degrade? +1 on the compressor. I have a pancake style that is my portable, and inherited an upright 20gal/5HP unit that is awesome as a shop unit!

I've only actually used it on short jobs so far, and in warm weather. However when I ran the battery through a couple cycles it looked like it's good for at least a couple hours at Really Damn Bright at least (after that I left the house); there were still photons visibly escaping after 14 hours but I would not have called it "bright" any more :

And the thing will hurt your eyes at full charge if you look right into it.

My favorite would be the 1/4 drive sockets with the hex bits, also in 3/8 drive.
Next would be my table lift. I don't have to crawl on the ground anymore.. Yea. ;D
