Title: TOOLS!
Post by: Zthomaston on April 21, 2022, 04:20:35 PM

What's your favorite tool that you cannot live without in your bag?  Common or uncommon what helps you the most?  No facetious "my brain" or "my phone," we all have and use those or we wouldn't be here! 

I tend to be a tool nut and run mostly Knipex or Wera stuff for my primary tools.  For me, I reach for my Knipex 08 22 145 mini needle-nose pliers more than anything.

I dismantle and reassemble my slots so the electric screwdriver is my most used tool and the chip puller tool.

My bent screwdriver.....works better than ANY chip puller.

I second the bent screwdriver. I have bent too many pins using the chip puller.

A decent auto-ranging digital multimeter.

I would have to say my chip-puller and multimeter. I have never bent a pin with this style chip puller.
