4th on the vice crimper. It works great.
Before I had that thing, I did them all meticulously with various pairs of pliers. I always got great results, but it sucked, lol.

Not exactly a truck tool.
The back popped off the wife's wristwatch.
While attempting to put it back on she managed to cut the O-ring that seals the back.
While I was doing my usual Amazon/eBay, "where can I get this part?" thing, a suggestion popped up for a tool kit for servicing watches for around $30.
Yeah, I know. Chineseium. But for something I'll use maybe five times a year, and it saves me from having to savage a delicate piece of equipment to press the cover back on.... eh.
Turns out it works quite well. I may even do it the favor of greasing the threads on the pressing tools so they'll last more than a few uses.
*** O-rings sold separately.

Picked up a "broken" 3D printer for $30. Needed a new cable. Got a whole cable kit for less than $15 shipped. Slapped the laser engraver on it that I had never really messed with. Spent a day figuring it out. Managed to make some sweet custom switch caps.

It’s always a really good flare or the perfect length of tube when you forget the fitting.

I have the same one. I think it came with a set of wires. Works well enough for the number of wires I do.

While cleaning and rearranging my shop yesterday, I was moving my drill press and the stand i had it on came apart sending the press crashing to the shop floor. Needless to say drill presses are not meant to bounce off the ground. Found a floor stand drill press on FB market. It's an older Craftsman, she has some signs of age but still works like a beast. The older gentleman gave me all kinds of drill bits. The table vice. He also had a isolating fan on wheels. 200 for all of it.
A couple of weeks ago I burned up my Reciprocating saw. One more FB market place find. Brand new in the box Dewalt. 40 the guy was in a bind.
