INKZALL markers
Black, silver and gold. Writes on dirty, oily steel.

M12 3/8" battery ratchet
Cordless 3/8-inch ratchet.
I called this a gimmick and I was wrong. I used to avoid an air ratchet because of the hose. This one gets used all the time.

M12 FUEL die grinder
Right-angle grinder, one hand.
It stalls more than air. For one bolt, one cut, one cleanup, it is fantastic.

Folding, one-handed blade change.
A utility knife that fights you is how you get cut.

One-inch tape.
Saw it on Matt’s Off-Road Recovery. Stand back from the box and actually find what you are after. As you get older you will understand.
