Are you handy? What is the most slept on mechanic tool?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Nobody is allowed to say vice grip since most people who answer that wouldn't even be able to fathom the half of what may be accomplished by them in the right hands.

I say needle nose pliers. Get me a socket set, a vice grip some needle nose pliers and I could take care of just about anything attached to the engine and then some.

Wire Strippers & Phillips Head Screwdrivers are overused in my world & I always make sure I have a few backups & backups for the backups.

As for me I am handy in the electrical, electronics & communication department, I’m ok with basic plumbing, carpentry I suck at probable because I don’t have saws & that kind of stuff. HVAC if it’s electrical related I can fix it however when it comes to the refrigeration end of things that is new territory & I would love to take a HVAC course to learn more.

Handy I am & I’m really goods at troubleshooting things.

I let the others here brag, and focus on your initial question:
my most ignored and unused tool in my toolbox is the

and the

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Is that an adjustable trowel? Lol

[andreasderjuengere]

Haha. - a hand saw. The 'adjustment' is to cut close to tight spaces 🙂.

Ahhhh, now I have something new to look up on tiktok

Not even handy enough to know what slept on means

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Slept on kinda means you know about something but never really gave it a chance or weren't paying attention so it's your own fault.

It's like in baseball when the pitcher throws an easy one but the batter doesn't swing. The announcer commonly says "They caught him sleeping on that one"

[Opinion Owner]

Oh ok! Anyway I’m not very handy

[queenofcardio]

I can't be trusted around tools 😂

[Telekinetic-Potato]

What happened!

[queenofcardio]

I'm clumsy, I somehow always end up hurting myself or I'll trip over something 🥲

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Indispensable

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I'll allow it... But only because this one looks like it's one step away from being an oscilloscope. I never seen one that has an inductor thing but can also tell temperature 😂

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Checking fuses without having to pull em👍🏻 Along with a thousand other manly uses.

But yeah, Coors may have mountains that turn blue, but now I can tell when my High Life's are ready.

There are very few problems you can't fix with a wrench and some pliers.

Flexible socket extensions or the kind of extensions for impacts that have multiple joints that you can bend to get around corners or in awkward places that life savers for people like me who are often in cramped and awkward positions or have to get to bolts that are incredibly annoying to get to.

[Orion84]

The only correct answer is the almighty 10mm socket.

Every true handyman has several of them, because everything needs a 10mm socket, and those bastards will inevitably get lost every single time you need one.

[Iron_Man]

I would say the screwdriver is highly used in my line of work.

[Iron_Man]

And power saw

[NathanDavis]

am I handy? yes... but not with cars

I could do very basic things, but to actually fix things, I call someone that actually knows

[7Phoenix7]

I’m not handy 😕

[Mariogirl09]

A screwdriver 🪛

Yeap. Impact driver.
