also very good tools: - folding ruler, the inside measuring type specifically - klein ironworkers pliers - knipex pliers wrench - knipex makes a wire stripper that has a narrow jaw like a needle nose, but its wide like a linesman, and it has a wire stripper - nws makes a diagonal cutting plier which uses a pin and slot to increase the mechanical advantage bad tools: - klein 7 in 1 nut driver - klein channel locks -

not a tool so much as an accessory, but disconnects that save you from having to access the port directly, and save you the wear on the connector itself. whether it's a stereo audio cable, hdmi, usb, or whatever. having a piece that just occupies the port, and you interface everything with that piece instead. big fan of disconnects / couplers like that like this for example, for rca stereo left / right:  those are nice, because you can just go straight from a miniplug jack directly into the stereo things like that, or optical couplers for spdif audio  i use those or similar on a lot of projects

I wrenched my shoulder yesterday trying to drive a JIS screw into a stud with a phillips head screwdriver without the screwdriver camming out and stripping the gently caress out of the screw. I regret not getting the right tool, or at least the right screws

seems easy to clean up to me. you just brush everything into the crumbhole and vaccuum it up off the floor later when it gets real bad

cross post from where it put it in the wrong thread; i bought a set of adam savage's favorite helping hands after he showed them off a few weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTLwlrk7oF4 they arrived today and are indeed rad as hell.  can't wait to use em link is here if you want your own and feel like splurging 80 dollars on a pair of helping hands lol. but they are really good and feel like they'll last a lifetime https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081Z7N9JP

trip report: the knipex wire strippers are amazing. the head is small enough to push wires into the corners of boxes, but wide enough to get a good twist. the blades are sharp. the only downsides are that the extra bit of metal just below the largest wire stripper size, presumably to prevent the wire from falling into the cutters. thats what i want to do! also that it only goes down to 8 Awg solid

I ordered some nice looking 4mm bit drivers from AliExpress. I have a shitload of the bits but only one handle, and after a job where I needed 4 different kinds of bits and I just kept swapping them again and again, I thought: why don't I just buy several handles so I can have a bunch of bits loaded at the same time?? Like a classic set of mini screwdrivers but more flexible?? https://m.aliexpress.us/item/3256804464424061.html  Shortly after I put in the order I realized that right now it is Chinese New Year. Maybe I'll see my stuff in March
