One of my most used tools, I see it very rarely on anybody else’s belt but it’s literally indispensable and irreplaceable in my mind, a simple 2-ish inch 5n1 tool. Scraper, pry bar, shim, digger, shaver, non-marring knocker, I use this thing for all kinds of random shit. What’s in your top tool list?

Here is my most underrated tool that I use all the time.

Hardwood wedges. I make these on the table saw from scrap wood. Use them for felling trees, holding round logs in place on the sawmill, shimming posts or beams level and plumb, wedging warped boards into place, stealing brace boards, etc.

I keep a couple in every tool box and every truck, use them til they break, and then make some more.

Thank you for reminding that I need to make some wedges…part of my normal job is doing moves for a local county which inevitably involves moving big ass desks through multiple doors…and there’s never any doorstops lol
