What 5 tools did you use today?

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Hey guys. I belong to a knife forum and they do something similar with "what did you use your knife for today" (I don't participate, I would always say "I cut something".) but what 5 tools did you use most "today"? I used my ingersoll rand 7150, IR impact sockets (17 and 21mm deep), kd tools torque wrench, gear wrench flex head ratchets and 12mm chrome socket. How about you? (Changed shocks on an 04 maxima, only tools I used besides the obvious jack and jack stands.
