      Hello Jonathan, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!! This is Jay from MT. I love all of your video's! I am looking forward to meeting you at Montana Jets 2025. That T-wrench in this video is like a glow plug wrench for the glow engines ie. OS 40 2 stroke. There are smaller and larger sizes, but the one you have in the video is definitely the smallest I've seen.
      See you on your next live 😊

    Great topic as I just got back from a Milwaukee Big Red event. So... I pick up M18 Fuel brushless Drill & Impact driver combo with 2 x 5.0 amp battery and rapid charger, A M18 6 inch Fuel brushless angle grinder with paddle switch, M18 Fuel brushless jig saw, M18 Fuel brushless 1/2 inch mid torque wrench, M18 Fuel brushless Hammer drill a few 5.0 battery and one 8 amp Forge battery. Most important to a hobbyist a M12 soldering iron! Portable, uses same battery as the M12 tools, Has lights to indicate when it heats up and when it is cooled down and it can be put down anywhere without burning anything, no stand needed to support it. I also got 2 x 6.0 amp M12 battery as it gobbles up amps😁

    An ad played right as you were about to announce #10. I was pointing at my screen saying "If you don't have Trusty in there, we're gonna have words". Good job.

    Well, you do have several vacuums sitting around. Your numerous model stands and toolboxes. On the smaller side your wire crimpers that you used to make your jumper cables. Not to mention all your model storage shelves.
    That all for now.

    5 more to add:
    1) X-acto knives. May not always need them but they make sharp and accurate cuts.
    2) Varying length Hemostats. Since they lock they can grab screws, nuts, wires, etc.
    3) Array of glue. CA, epoxy, Aeropoxy, E-6000, etc
    4) portable soldering iron
    5) zip ties of varying length
