    To remove & install small spring, I made the tool by myself.

        Default What are your most task specific tools
        That would be my, MY MEASURING DEVICES.

        MICROMETERS, CALIPERS, & DIAL INDICATORS. On the precision end of projects. TAPE MEASURES and STRING LINES. On the cruder end of measuring requirements.

        TASK SPECIFIC .......... they are only used to measure stuff. And are indispensable.

        Ya gots to measure stuff before you can even begin going further.

              I have a heavy barreled 700 in .308W, target stock, giant scope. It's only good for one thing.

              I've got a Seecamp in my pocket right now, it's only good for the other extreme.

                  Cholula, I use that **** on almost everything with eggs in it.

                  If you just shoot and clean as a routine thing, you really don't need many tools at all. If you shoot only HK, you don't need any tools, they come with any you really need unless you want to screw them up.

                  Mini14 and variants? Aside from cleaning stuff, nothing. Ruger 10-22? Same. Glocks? Unless you mess with what already works - nothing. Same for almost all guns really.

                  A good set of bits for a quality driver handle, a few punches.

                  Take your guns apart less and they'll work better. More damage is done to guns taking them apart than using them.

                  Don't worry, it will never pass...How in the hell did that pass?

                  Think past your gun, it's the last resort, the first is your brain.

                  Defense is a losing proposition when time is on the side of the opponent. In the history of humanity, no defense has ever won against an enemy with time on their side.

                      I pretty much do the same thing. And I put everything into its own toolbox. Saves time in the long run.

                        Our local Chinese supplier just came out with a socket set that is exclusively 10 mm. I never realized how important they were until I saw the ad.

                          That right there ranks on the top three things to never actually do or advise some one to do!

                              My garage and everything in it. This also bleeds over into the office if you call it that. My house has a strange floor plan.
