Favorite tools

So I've drilled out spot welds with successive sizes of drill bits but what is your favorite spot weld removing drill or device. Any other tools that are your favorite can be posted here too I've got some other ones like this really wicked windshield removing tool that's just about good for anything but especially pulling on radiator hoses and working on windshield rubbers as designed by snap-on.

I used Purpose buit spot weld removing bits. they have a spring loaded center punch and a very small hole saw that fits in your drill and removes the spot weld very cleanly. The down side is they wear quickly and I used a few when I drilled out front and rear fenders (twice).

I also use threaded rod to raise and lower the front end from the chassis rails.

My tool choice

To remove spot welds, I also use spot weld cutter bits and most important to me is the Makita multi speed angle drill.
Drill a tiny hole in the center of the spot weld. This gives the spring loaded center pin a nice place rest while keeping the cutter from creeping.

Just cut out forty spot welds on a '50 Willys Jeep.

Thanks now Randy's .02

OrOne of my buddies who used to cut them up regular and part out said he used a I've got no idea how to spell this so spitzengower tool. As for the Makita that's the brand of choice with my other cutting tool favorite of a $10 diamond ripping blade cuts anything but you kind of have to get the goo off first...
Oh and also I see a harbor freight spot weld cutter is it trash or a decent deal as most of their tools I've used are pretty much of questionable quality, I had a Sawzall knock off start smoking without even wearing out one blade.
