Dan The Metalworking Man is here today to talk about some tools that any MAN worth his salt better have in his toolbox.  Some of these may seem very basic but that is the beauty of it all.
Let me recommend a few and see what y'all think.

Utility Knife

It's beauty is in it's simplicity. Not designed for one purpose. From cutting batts of insulation to opening packages and taking paint off paint covered screws. This is a must have for any toolbox or weekend repairman. You call yourself a handyman you better have one of these.

These tools are not just for starting holes in metal. You can use it to tighten a loose knife handle or shovel by centering the punch on the rivet and then hitting it with a ball-peen hammer, expanding the rivets head. Try a spring loaded one for ease of use and accuracy.

 

 

Level

There is a multiple uses for this tool and you can have more than one in your toolbox. For really precise applications use a laser level. Mount it on a stand and the laser will rotate 360 degrees projecting a visible level line.

For many jobs a polyurethane glue like Gorilla Glue will be a great way to solve many of your problems. Gorilla Glue is very strong and sticks to a variety of surfaces. Another cool thing is it has a cool name. Get some Gorilla today!!!

Drill Bit

Use them for drilling wood and most plastics. For industrial use, it is probably better to get a set of titanium coated sets.
Remember that heat and friction will slowly take away the bits honed edge.
You can purchase a Drill Dr (which Light Tool Supply also sells) to sharpen up those dull drill bits back to their original sharpness.

 

Cold Chisel

Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox-
Use this tool to cut through bolts, rivets, and pins. Using the chisel cold as opposed to torch or forged heating for the same result. Strike the chisel with a Ball-peen hammer. Always wear safety glasses and never use it on stone or concrete.
