I'm in! Thanks for doing this, David & Ryan!

Would a cone wrench work? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_wrench

Cutting small bolts? :ducks: More seriously, I got mine when I was removing an old patio door and wanted to cut some nails that were holding it in, but the heads were under the siding. Also great for cutting wire shelving and removing ear clamps that are just a bit too thick/tough for dikes.

My favorite German tool is my Stahlwille offset box-end wrenches.

Bosch 12v pocket driver kit for $75 (reconditioned): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bosch-12V-Max-Li-Ion-Pocket-Driver-PS21-2A-Reconditioned-/391807569646 I've had my eye on this kit for a while and never seen it much below $99, so if you're OK with the recon warranty, this seems like a good deal.

ishiboo is right, check back further in the thread, but here are some examples to get you started: https://www.zoro.com/wiha-tools-precision-screwdriver-set-phillips-4pcs-26194/i/G0639177/ https://www.zoro.com/proto-combination-locking-pliers-set-j299rxl/i/G0505251/ and lots of Knipex stuff is...

Where do you buy your tools? Locally: Harbor Freight, Ace Online: Amazon, eBay, Tooltopia, Harry Epstein, Sears Thanks for doing this, Chris!

This nicer set is a pretty good price as well: http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/felo-6-pc-slotted-phillips-screwdriver-set/0000000078685

That does sound tempting, thought it looks like it's this model: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-155-MPH-300-CFM-40-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Jet-Fan-Blower-RY40411/204589655 and the 2.4 Ah battery seems small compared to the 4 & 5 Ah options...

Awesome! Thanks Farmall, Chris & Astro!

I have this: https://spectools.com/shop/skewdriver-pro-kit-model-fst-3000/ I wouldn't use it when I need every possible once of torque, but for under-dash work and the like, it's pretty handy. The 4x speed feature is also great for things like light switch covers around the house.

I really like my Felo 32348: http://www.carbideprocessors.com/bit-holder-screwdriver-1-4-x-4-2-component-handle-felo-32348/ Nice handle, very strong magnet, non ratcheting. Does he need to replace the bits as well or just the handle?

Awesome! Care to share a brief description of how you did this?

My local Ace Hardware has individual Craftsman Pro sockets. I think the 1/4 drive deep were $4-$5 each.

Do you want drivers with a handle, or are L-keys OK? I ordered this US-made set a month or two ago: http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/36742567 and they are definitely well-fitted. I've not beat on them enough to say they'll NEVER round out, but they seem hard and about on par with...
