Your Trusted Toolbox

Coming in at number one is your trusted toolbox. In here, you are going to have everything you need but will never actually be able to find when you need it!

Electric Screwdriver

Number 2 is your trusted electric screwdriver and screw bits. You might be fortunate enough to have one that has all your screw bits nicely placed in a clear plastic holder and you know exactly where to find your next screw bit. If you are like the rest of the population, you are going to furiously dig around trying to find a screw bit that is more metal than rust and is actually going to help you get the job done. Regardless, it is probably the first tool you picked up and will be the last you put down.
