What's in your bag of tricks?

Dragonracer76 · May 7th, 2013, 06:52 PM

OK... So some of my go-to fix it tools are:

JB-Weld
WD-40
Duct tape
Bailing wire
Bondo
and Freeze spray

What types of problem solving stuff do you keep in your garage?

No naming the same stuff over and over, let's see how inventive Ninjateers are..

A bigger hammer
Vise grips
Zip ties in several sizes
Braided nylon cord (or paracord, but I prefer the former). I use this for many, many things.

nice. I actually forgot about hammers and zip ties. I buy zip ties in bulk. haha

Latest thing is a dead-blow hammer, a hand-held impact driver and Torx bits big enough to provide an interference fit for stripped Allen bolt heads.

Managed to extract a stripped bolt that way a week ago.

Torque wrenches

I'll be here for an hour listing out mine. So I think I'll pass.

I will say that I think creativity is one of the greatest tools.
