Great topic as I just got back from a Milwaukee Big Red event. So... I pick up M18 Fuel brushless Drill & Impact driver combo with 2 x 5.0 amp battery and rapid charger, A M18 6 inch Fuel brushless angle grinder with paddle switch, M18 Fuel brushless jig saw, M18 Fuel brushless 1/2 inch mid torque wrench, M18 Fuel brushless Hammer drill a few 5.0 battery and one 8 amp Forge battery. Most important to a hobbyist a M12 soldering iron! Portable, uses same battery as the M12 tools, Has lights to indicate when it heats up and when it is cooled down and it can be put down anywhere without burning anything, no stand needed to support it. I also got 2 x 6.0 amp M12 battery as it gobbles up amps😁

I would agree Milwaukee drill with a 2 and 5amp battery a must

A shop vac to help keep things neat and clean. Maybe a few sizes for the nooks and crannies.

That T wrench is all over my shop, but so useful. I almost always use it on any plane build!

[@Bigboy4018]

I think the "tool" between the ears is the MOST important tool in any shop!

[@ericgutknecht6037]

All great tools that I am familiar with but… that clevis tool surprised the heck out of me!! I NEED one of those. Most of my similar tools are for ball links but still cursing when I have to adjust clevis’… thanks for an awesome thing to add to my kit!

5 more to add: 1) X-acto knives. May not always need them but they make sharp and accurate cuts. 2) Varying length Hemostats. Since they lock they can grab screws, nuts, wires, etc. 3) Array of glue. CA, epoxy, Aeropoxy, E-6000, etc 4) portable soldering iron 5) zip ties of varying length

[@AbdullahNajib-b9z]

cool.

[@russellvoth5161]

A DeWalt 12 gallon stainless vacuum cleaner , Hemostats for hold stuff in position. A good soldering iron with silver solder a stand to hold the fittings in while soldering , small led light to see into the fuse of wings . Metric sockets 1/4" drive from 2mm-6mm with a stubby ratchet and extensions .

Well, you do have several vacuums sitting around. Your numerous model stands and toolboxes. On the smaller side your wire crimpers that you used to make your jumper cables. Not to mention all your model storage shelves. That all for now.

[@craiglaird3752]

Need to add the tools for putting in servos in very tight spaces

[@Sluf7]

Yu pretty much everything you showed I have and a heap more. Amazing how useful modelling tools are round the house, car, garage etc.😂😮 The ole knife selection.😅

[@jonathanrubin3603]

Soldering iron and related accessories.

[@garygasser6760]

Sand paper and emery boards

[@keithvilleneuve8362]

New tool I found that I wish I had years ago is Mico-Mark #88022 Gripster. Grabs small screws,bolts, nuts etc. They have a lot of cool tools for us modelers

[@philiplewis957]

4 tools to add in no particular order, 3D printer, digital angle gauge, good quality servo wire crimper and a digital heat gun.

[@sheldoncampbell538]

You seem to use your cordless LED light a lot

[@davidsoufer116]

I would have think “Trusty” would have been number 1 😅

[@alexandertheissl808]

Nr 11 ist noch ein gutes Feuerzeug , damit man die gecraschte Kiste auf dem Model flugplatz dann anzünden kann , falls Sie nicht eh von selbst anfängt zu😅 brennen 😅😅
