WareLogging. SeeAlso: PowerTools. <[[Brennen]]> Sooner or later you realize that the right tools make all the difference in the world. Here's a hypothetical list of the stuff that should be in my toolbox. * General-purpose hammer. * Multiple screwdrivers: Phillips, flat head, and a square drive. * Pliers: The ordinary sort, the needlenose sort, and a pair of vice-grips. * Tape measure, as well as some kind of rigid straight-edge. * Hatchet or machete, if not both. (Functions may overlap, but the former can split firewood and drive stakes, while the latter is what you will miss when murdering weeds.) * Hand saw (sharp). * Socket set. * Wrench set. * Small pry bar. * Hex keys. * Level. * Chalkline. * Pencil or crayon, something that can leave a nice heavy line. * Wood chisel. * Nail set. * Putty knife / scraper. * Roll each of duct, electrical, drywall, and plumber's tape. * Couple rolls of different gauges of wire. * Box of miscellaneous fasteners (screws, nails, small brads, nuts and bolts, some of those little velcro fastener things). * Wood or rubber mallet. * Sandpaper. * Rasp/file. * Whetstone. * Can of WD-40. * Packet of wooden shims. Additionally, there are some things in the "too big for a box, but maybe not for the trunk of my car" category. * Sledgehammer and/or maul. * Large pry / wrecking / crow bar. * Jack. What am I leaving out?
