All in all very basic equipments. Nothing too expensive.

I'd like to see/hear what are you using.

Edit: oh and tweezers are handy when I'm trying to get washers in place.

[Antti Lammi]

I use mostly Dremel, Power Drill, Files (diamond and fine metalfile), Security bits, Parse wrenchs ( i need to buy new set) sandpapers (240-2000) Tweezers. Also i have access to Pillar Drill what i sometimes use when i need precise and slow drilling.

[Krista Liinamaa]

I've been using a power drill too since I don't (yet) have pillar drill. I've been looking for affordable used one. Work bench have been handy too when using a power drill. Hammer was used for peening when I did my SAK mods and propably some more tools that I can't remember. Nowadays I prefer LM mods because they are easier.

A Dremel is one of the handiest things I own.  Best wishes.  G

Love my Dremel, also have 1x30 belt sander, drill press, power drills, WorkSharp knife and tool sharpener Ken Onion edition, pin punches, modified pin punches, center punches, bench grinder, bench vise, drill press/mill vise.  Huge assortment of files, 1/4" bits, screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters.  There's more I'm missing, have a garage full of tools.

  your multitool modding tool box. You have those small wrenches for opening rebar, supertool etc. Where have you bought those?

[madfishcat]

These are the wrenches from Dmitry "loki-mobile", he was definitely on this forum, but due to restrictions imposed on the Russian Federation, he cannot accept payments from foreign buyers, so, as far as I know, he suspended sales for them. The wrenches are really very good. I have wrenches from another manufacturer, but they are much worse in quality.

If necessary, I can try to find his email, if Dmitry is still working on wrenches and has some ways to get paid, perhaps you will have a set too. Or you can just find his profile in the sales thread.

In any case, good luck!

Those are what I'm looking for, but I knew it would be hard to get them nowadays

Thanks for answering. Too bad that those are so hard to get. Like I said earlier,my rebar stays as whole, because I can't get recessed bolts open with my current pliers.

No problem, pair Neji-saurus screw pliers PZ-58 will do the job easily. With green handles in my picture, f.e.

Thanks. Looks a lot like knipex twin grip. Maybe I should try a smaller one since those are readily available  here in Finland.

PZ-58 is the optimal size, at least for PST. The Loki wrench got twisted in one bad case, only PZ saved the situation. Well, it's my own fault, I was in a hurry.
