Small Knipex water pump pliers have been one of the best purchases I've ever made

As I tell my wife, all of them
Especially when on sale, never know when you’ll need another micrometer or torque wrench.
One is none.

wait. you don't have a plastic welder for a broken trash can?

Duct tape, electrical tape, zipties, tie wire, or gorilla glue. If you can't fix it with that, scrap it.

Try their pliers wrench if you haven't they are a game changer far beyond the Knipex advantage of their pump pliers. I admit to having Cobra, Alligator, Raptor, and pliers wrench versions and use them all for certain tasks. I prefer Knipex in this space, but for electrical pliers, I am a big NWS fan. All of the NWS pliers are great, but I really love the high-leverage lineman's (combination) pliers. The only Knipex electrical tool I prefer is the automatic wire stripper.

WD-40, vice grips, and duct tape. Any man worth his salt can get most household tasks done with those three things.
