Tools of the trade

I saw this in a thread on Scale Rails Online, post a tool you cannot do without when building a model RR. It can be anything you've needed, or may need.

I posted the Sawzall:

Valium. :D

OK. I'll be serious. My #1 favorite, most valuable tool has to be the Dremel. A close second is the vise that goes with it. I've mounted that on an old kitchen cutting board so I can clamp it to my work table.
 
I'll have to agree with Steve, the hobby knife is the most use tool on my work bench. But, pretty soon I see the soldering pen taking first place once I have to solder all those feeders onto my track soon.
:rolleyes: Hmm... Let's see, 85' of double mainline...That's 170', plus 45' of branch line... and then all the passing sidings and spurs... I don't even want to think about the yard:eek: ... Soldered every 3'... so that's a whole heep of track times 3 equals... AAAaaaarrrrgh!:(
The soldering gun may become #1 but I don't think it will be my favorite.

I hope ya'll had a great Christmas.
 
Good one Chip. I had never thought of turning my wifes clothes pins into modeling tools
