Handy tools to have

Also, a 4.5" grinder with a diamond blade on it is a lifesaver. I cant tell you how many times it has helped me out of a bind. Makita grinder and smooth rimmed diamond blade combo ~ $100, and well worth it.

Good tip, OneMoreCast, a good grinder will help you to work more efficiently and save you much aggravation.

Cutting cast iron pipe I used to use a sawzall with hardened blades. I bought some grinding discs in bulk, and now use the grinder for the job, cuts through cast iron like a dream. So what if you use a few discs, it's a lot faster than the old ways.

This was a sanity saver for me the other night. I was changing spark plugs, and they were recessed in the manifold. I couldn't reach my fingers in there to grab them after loosening them. Opened my handy dandy pickup tool for the first time, and it took all the aggravation away. Great tool for guys who do their own auto repair work.

I like the craftsman screw-out for stripped screws.
