You don't have to be sorry I'm just relating my experience for anybody that wishes to listen.
And you don't have to tell somebody they are wrong because they post an opinion or an experience different than what you posted.
And I didn't say you were wrong. It just doesn't apply anymore. Technology changed that.

My favorites all have saved my rear in varying degrees. Left to right lockable forceps, Irwin channel lock type pliars similar to the knipex discussed earlier not smooth jaws, heavier duty Stanley scissors/ shears (used a lot), and top cutters best tool ever for removing trim nails plus many other uses imo.

A few more I've used a lot and grown dependent on are right angle screwdrivers and or a stubby ratchet with screwdriver attachments. Reversible ratcheting wrenches. Still surprise myself at some of the places I can get to with above tools without tearing something apart extensively to get to a hard to reach fastener.

Here’s another I couldn’t exist without.
My John Deere Battery Jump Starter.

I bought this from a guy in semi-working condition for $50. The timer was broken. I was able to get the timer from JD parts for like $30 bucks.
That was 10 years ago.

Still works perfect and will start a tugboat diesel. Its the best tool for you if you have a lot of larger equipment that’s older or prone to battery draw down, or just a plain ol dead battery.

I hated paying the price for a set of Knipex pliars, but they sure fit well in my hand and the hardened steel teeth seem very well made.
I'd like to have a pair, but that seems like something I would lose in no time.

Close quarters pipe cutter, great for remodeling projects this one is a very inexpensive off brand one that I've used pretty extensively on several projects over the years.
