When your favorite tool is a hammer evey problem looks like a nail lol.
However for those who like adjustable wrench just as much there is a tool called the rastall wrench that actualy combines a hammer, cresent and box end 13/16. I have one, it was made for pipe fitting....
Torches I like too my fav is probably my 1937 C&L 308 gasoline torch. Just don't bring it in the house and solder pipes with the wife home. They get excited and not in a good way around a 70 year old presurize brass tank full of burning gas.
I also have some PL Robertson " Original " Socket head screw drivers. If your an American and not familiar with them thats a pity. the only screw system ever made that can't cam out and will hold a screw upside down by friction/taper fit only.
My Brundy mini copper lug compression tool and weidmueler ratchet cutters are nice for elecrtrcial work ( Big wire lol ).
My KING DICK sockets and spanners ( war production vintage in french gray finnish )....
The name is cool and whitworth and BSP bolts are loads of fun. I epsecialy like to head over to a big box store with a BSP bolt and ask the first kid I can find for help mathcing nut when I am bored and want to have fun at someones expense. Pricess for that class of fatsner is now way out line so I also have a Warwick tap and dye set so I can make my own replacements.
Gib head key extractor....
No one seems to know what thats for anymore and its a great conversation piece.
But my fav tool I guess would have to be the humble file. I make alot of parts by hand and can't live without my file sets
