You need this. Anybody who's ever made a third trip to the hardware store on the same day needs this. The (100) -- count 'em, (100) -- chrome vanadium driver and bit attachments include slotted, Phillips, square (Robertson) head, torx, hex and 12-point bits, plus security Phillips, torx and hex, and (4) different driver adapters (one of which, a super-cute cup-hook driver, has us oddly excited). They're all in a flip-top plastic case. How come it's surplus? If you turn it upside down and shake it, some of the bits fall out of their little size-marked slots. So don't do that. Or stick a thin sheet of foam inside it and all will be well.

She told you not to tighten that screw any farther. Good thing you can whip out your set of (2) 7” screw removers, one slotted and one Phillips. The invaluable tools let you remove those  stripped, damaged and broken screws. They have black–plastic contoured handles with metal ends, the better to hammer them into the broken screws. Pound in, twist out. It’s a magical thing.

And it’s cute. Just 4-3/8" long with a pocket clip, it looks like a pen but it has (8) driver bits stored in the barrel. The 5/32” hex bits include slotted 2mm, 3mm, Phillips #1 and #2, and T5, T6, T7 and T8. We’ll pick one in red, black or blue, because who cares?

Long nose, like Cyrano. Unlike Cyrano, these pliers measure 6" long in nickel-plated steel with mostly serrated jaws and a cutting edge near the pivot, where it ought to be. Handles are dipped in rubber to help prevent electrocution.

This 44-piece, precision ratcheting driver set has mini- bits that are perfect for working inside all the things you're not supposed to be inside of. You get a 4" ratchet driver, a nearly 4" extension, and boo-coo bits from teensy to just small in flatheads, Philips, pozis, hex and torx, all in chromium-vanadium steel and all in a nice carrying case. Bits are in (7) circular holders (like speed-loaders) holding (6) each, which will also fit inside the driver handle.

Dead-center in the universe of tools you can’t have too many of, this 7-1/2" driver has (2) reversible heads, one with Phillips #1 and 3/16” flat, and the other with Phillips #2 and 1/4” flat, in chrome vanadium. Handle is 4-1/2” long and rubber-coated. Keep it in the kitchen junk drawer, where you can always find it.

We like these small pliers and cutters - they're a higher quality than most of the Chinese import tools we're offered. They are drop-forged, high-carbon steel with double-leaf springs, lap joints and rubberized foam handles. There is a trim 6" needle nose, and a 4-1/2" mini-round diagonal cutter. For precision work and hobbies, and especially nice for anyone with small hands.

For those can't-reach screws that you don't want anyone else to loosen. This 10-piece set of star security bits are 6" long and you get sizes T6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 with 1/4" hex shafts to fit your standard electric drill.

Whether they're forgotten, lost, or walk away by themselves, these 7" long plastic-handled #1 Phillips screwdrivers are priced so it won't ruin your day! 

These would be standard nickel-plated locking pliers (with the vise-like grip) with serrated 1-1/2" jaws, except that they're 15" long. Think stuff you can't reach and stuff too hot to reach too close to. And if you're making a steel sculpture of a goose in flight, this is the front end. Really.
