what are your 3 most used tools/gadgets

[Angie]

just wondering what your most used tools/gadgets excluding basic wrench/socket screwdriver sets. unless you have an unusual set.

my 3 are:

1- the dremel. i can't believe how many times i use this thing for/on projects.

2- i have a ac 110 to 15 dc converter that i use many times for auto electric trouble shooting/building projects. this thing i have wired along a shelf in the workshop.

3- bench grinder with grinding stone and wire wheel. self explanatory, but completely surprising how often it gets used.

cheers

Working on my truck?

1. Diagonal wire snips - They reach a lot better and cut a lot cleaner than anything else I have
2. Wire strippers
3. Wire crimpers - They crimp much better than the strippers

When I'm not working on my truck?

1. 5/16 nut driver
2. 9/16 nut driver
3. 9/16 ratcheting combination wrench

1. Brain.............lol, hands would be 2nd and feet 3rd

Smartass. That's what I was going to say...

My 3 most used tools are.

• 1. Hayes Manual
• 2. What little brains and common sense I have.
• 3. Last resort. My buddy Jesse who owns JN Wrecker. He's fixed my old work horse for me everytime its broke down.

Which has only been two times in the three years I've owned that old truck.
