[NORMZILLA44]

My laptop, because it allow's me to get on this site, and get all the help, and friend's I need. With certain guy's who specialize in certain area's, and can give you a hand with anything. Also they can tell you what tool's you made need, and where to get them. But key is where to start.

SNAP-ON pick set
Air compressor
Work bench with vise

These are used for many things, not just saws, and have paid for themselves may times over.

I use a vise that's on a post about 3 1/2 feet off the ground. 360 degree accessibility, ideal for chain and ax sharpening. Figure id share a picture of my racing ax View attachment 211152 NOTE: a file has never touched the blade of THIS ax. Only honing stones that cost more than i'd like to share.....just kidding, they're about a $100 a piece.

A little bit of beer, brute force and ignorance can go a looong way

My log splitter?

Actually, I'd need to go with my MityVac 8500. Beats pissin' up a rope guessin' at stuff and tearin' into a project half-assed on a wing and a prayer thinkin' you're gonna get lucky with an "easy fix" any day -- with whatever other tools ya wanna throw at it.

Can't beat a vac/pressure test for determining the tools you're really gonna need to tackle whatever new project challenge is sittin'on yer bench.

I have a lifetime supply of ignorance and it didn't cost me a dime.

I remember a few years ago listening to Car Talk on NPR. Some volcano in AK was erupting and a fellow called in about the volcanic dust getting past the filter in his car. The guys recommended ladies 'hose to keep the dust out. Neat tip! rep for you! Plus a great excuse to get those 'hose off your lady friend.

5" long Torx bits for my cordless drill and 19.2 Volt craftsman cordless drill

Makes tearing down saws a whole lot quicker and easier.

My compressor, I'm lost without it. It went down early in the summer and it seemed my saw rebuilding came to a halt.

They are easy to make braze a t27 bit to a length of steel rod.
