@Dr.Al + A scalpel knife for the below the surface stuff

I just used a stanley knife with a new blade you can cut and dig with the point

cobra pliers seem to come out whenever there's a fiddly connector or pipe clip or basically anything awkward. They're just a perfect tool to have.

"Nut-cookers' is how my tutor refers to them.
Can't understand why.

1.5 mm gas welding rods are my indispensable go to tool for putting a hook on the end to fish stuff out from down the side of the cooker and cupboards and to make hangers for painting etc.

I have a pack of 2.4mm ali tig rod (i don't have an acdc tig machine) which gets used for stuff like that.
I even bend it up to make drill powered paint/resin stirrers.

A simple torch ,,, one that works.

[little led one that takes AA batteries from every where , so handy to just get a look at things.]

Have a mirror and torch on an extendable pole. Very handy when trying to get to unseen fixings

Near enough the same as that.

I've never had to use them on nuts/bolts.
Good for removing studs though.

Extendable magnet and torch for when that nut or socket that you’ve been so careful not to drop leaps out of your hand and into the most inaccessible depths of the engine bay.

Why do I only ever seem to drop non-magnetic stainless nuts / washers into awkward places?

Because if it was magnetic, it wouldn't be "awkward"?

Bluetooth speaker for me, but same idea, I can't do anything without music on.

Indespensible, > a pair of Gloves. Back when I was an apprentice carpenter, at the beginning of my first class, the Instructor said ……. " Time is Money, Material is Money, but You are Replaceable !" He then held up both hands in the air and wiggled his fingers saying ……. " No Spare Parts !"

I never forgot this, and have always kept a pair of gloves available to cover my paws when "necessary".
