I saw this great little post over at SawmillCreek… Do you have a good Gadget tool……? The OP (original poster) describes gadget tools like this: “You kind of feel funny when you sucker in and buy one…. but then you find that its a really great thing to have and you like it and use it a lot.”
Here are the top “gadget” tools from SawmillCreekers:

I don’t think all of them are “must need,” they’re just gadgety, relatively cheap tools that turned out to work well. I’m sure some people consider them essential though! Thanks for stopping by :D
