IndyStef is an unknown quantity at this point
My favorite has to be a CNC mill - I did the wings of team 1018.
But not everybody is so blessed to work for a machine tool manufacturer ...
Other than that - the calliper (spelling? I'm German, I'm allowed to screw that one up ;-), followed by the hammer (the big one)

Well for Powered tools I'm gonna have to go witht he team Sawz-all, It can cut through anything, as for my favorite tool, I'd have to go with a simple Straight Razor that folds out of a little key chain holder thingy.

So, now my favorite tool is a handheld ultrasonic welder. No rivets, no glue, so screws... super cool.

my favorite tool has become a 100 lb brass rod that we found in the back of the machine shop. great for relieving anger on the robot, bins, or freshmen. also great for when parts need the proper motivation to fit.

wait wait wait, we're not the only team with a 100 lb brass rod in teh machine shop (ours was in a drawer).

Quick OT question, but, does every team have a 100 lb brass rod in the machine shop?

My Leather man is definitely my favorite tool. However, I also have taken a liking to our 25 lb. steel straightening plate.

A good set of allen wrenches... They are invaluable to anyone on our team working on frame/drive.
