Tool used most

Post by Callie »

What tool do you find you use the most around the house? Something that can be used as a multi tasked type tool. Lately for me it has been a chisel!!

Perfect for changing batteries in kids toys :lol:

Best thing I bought recently that I seem to use all the time now is a work platform. Reasonable height to be able to cut wood on and generally work on. Just the right height for reaching the ceiling and tops of walls and it great for putting my spot board on - dunno why I've never had one before :shock:

I find myself using my multi tool that includes a knife, screwdriver, pliers, and a bottle/can opener. It a really neat tool, and I see myself carrying it where ever I go.

I'm constantly having little projects that I need to do, and my multi tool seems to do the job. Anybody that in our field of work needs a tool that they can use when that might not have other resources readily availiable.

Definitely I mainly use screwdrivers, but it's not like I do much on a daily basis.

Btw, the Russian Army Knife is hilarious. Good find.
