Vice grip. I can't tell you how many times I've needed one and he's always sitting quietly in my toolbox just waiting patiently to be used.

Since a lot of the real tools have been posted I’ll say a bobby pen.

Flat head screws are the worst and should become extinct. Phillips head are so much easier.

Looks like a good way to frick up a nut.

You'd think so. That pic shows a tool nearly, but not exactly, like mine and the guy is mishandling the tool. The nut should be snuggled into the pocket nearer the handle. I had the same concern with them as you expressed when I first got them to try out. They've never given me any problems and are in my go everywhere tool bag.

It’s looks like a small circular saw, great for cutting tight areas. I wish I knew the exact name

By far one of the most frequently used tools in my tool bag.

or everyone who said Allen wrenches, bravo but do you know they make 1/4 inch drive allen wrench socket sets? A socket with an Allen wrench on the end of it. Chuck that bad boy up in your drill motor with your adapter and go to town



Bro, what’s it like living in the 60’s?


I couldn’t tell you the last time I used a screwdriver or Allen wrench for anything that wasn’t delicate

It’s pretty dinky but I use this thing way more than I anticipated and I’m not sure what I did before I had one. Car tires, bike tires, basketballs, footballs, inflatable mattresses, etc...

Ryobi gets a lot of flak but if you’re a regular guy like me who just needs to fix stuff around the house they’re the GOAT. I have probably 75% of their cordless catalog - everything from impact drill to weed eater - and they all use the same interchangeable batteries. Can’t beat it.

Battery powered impact driver should be owned by anyone who does anything for themselves around the home.

P-38 can opener. That little fricker can crack open cans a regular opener can’t.
