MY Second favorite Tool is my mini-mag flashlight. You can guess at the first...lol
Im surprised noone else has mentioned the flashlight.
Check the gas, oil, battery, loose connections, look for lost parts/bolts/washers/ect. Never leave home without it.
Even got one of those hand crank types in the saddle bags for emergencies.

Multi tip screw drivers with the bit in the handle are nice as well as the lowly cresant wrench.
Lets not forget the tire pressure gauge and the 12v air compressor either...lol

I have a pretty extensive flashlight collection, with a 2 D-cell Mag Lite for th biggest. Down to single triple A Mag Lites,( I used to fix copiers, so I needed a light that would let me see up inside them. None were exactly satisfactory, so I keept trying to find "The One"..) I got an LED lite, too.. It Beats the GUTS right outta every smaller light I have And the biggo D cell Mag Lite..

Hammer, its the most fun Grin

I've used all of these and a whole lot more, but I'm to poor/young to own most of them Undecided

. Thats why I got my BFW and the metal lab at school.

duck tape NEEDS to be on the list; its the handyman's secret weapon!
and the Red Green show is my favorite ever

oh wait, I did make a bench grinder in metal lab, but doesn't have a motor.

I have a B&D straight miter chop style with a 13A motor. I am looking to upgrade to a Mikita 12" dual bevel sliding compound miter saw with an offset 13A motor. Soon I hope.

If I could use one often enough to stay brushed up on using one,, I had it down pat for a while, then didnt need it & forgot how to read the blasted thing, so I got a digital, & the batteries die in the heat in the shop, so I got a dial caliper,, I still use the vernier for comparisons.. & sometimes Ill even stick a new battery in the digital for the Push of a Button metric conversion it does. Handy when shimming the valves on the W.
