A shop essential.

Mechanix gloves fit great and come in a wide variety of styles for every working condition.

This Comfo Classic respirator is *way* better than the paper ones most shops stock. Strongly recommended.

These 3M glasses have detachable side protectors that keep dust and other foreign objects out for good.

It's mind boggling to me that I lasted so long on channel lock pliers when these are *so* much better.

Mind your colors! Blue for metric, black for Imperial.

Having clear *and* red *and* the diffuser is really useful. Always have one of these in your toolbox.

By far the best pocket knife I've ever owned.

Making your own network cable changes your life, and using EZ crimpers is the only way to do it.

Probably the most beautiful tool in the shop.

I've been using these Stanley utility knives for about 15 years, and I can't imagine going back to the cheap ones.

Cheap, easy, and sturdy.

These come in a variety of tip styles and are comfortable to use over long periods of time.

Good for all around work, from hanging pictures to light framing & demolition.

*So* handy.

There's no excuse for using a drill to drive screws.

Once you buy in to Festool, it's hard to imagine using anything else.

The best.

Measuring in centimeters and millimeters makes everything simpler.

Yup.

Extremely handy, these have template packages & other nice features for embedded design.

Fast and *so* useful.

Because you still need inches :/

I'm sorry: Digital is just *so* much easier.

Whether for note-taking, sketching, or to-do lists, having paper around still makes a *ton* of sense.

Good work, if you can get it ;)
