The folding box cutter! No, that tool deserves three exclamation marks!!! I ordered three, thanks for the affiliate link. I always think of you when I use popsicle sticks to get the little drips of filament off the nozzle. Thanks for the great tool suggestions.

Awesome! Thank you!
A good alternative to the paint scraper is a artist pallet knife, you can get a set of various shapes for about $15. They are thin flexible and sharp. My favorite is a #2, they work great on resin printers too.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Greetings from Brazil, the same feelings about the tools you shared. I finally found someone that face and live with the same pros and cons about those must-have tools. Thanks for sharing, I really appreaciate and enjoyed the tips you provide. Basic and unexpensive tools, thats all people need. Keep sharing your videos.
Quality tools are worth their money!
About 34 years ago I bought a long shaft screwdriver for a special use case. I still use it on a daily basis. It's the Wera brand...
This is perfect because I'm new to 3D printing, and I've been looking for the right tools I'll need. Thanks!
Enjoy
Nice video , just remember when using cross head screwdriver’s to use the right type.
The main types are pozidrive and philips where one has a more pointed head and the other is more flat, using the right type and size saves stripping the screw( and head)
I've had those exact magnifiers for a few years. Hint - if you need to wear them with glasses for distance correction (I know you don't but I do), then take off the nose bridge attachment (two small screws) and use the elastic band to mount them on your forehead. Much more comfortable than having two mounts on your nose!
Just to throw in my 2 cents, I have a few alternative recommendations. For a folding utility knife, a milwaukee fastback is pretty hard to beat and they're around the same price as the amazon basics knife. A channelocks 426 will likely last longer than the robogrips due to being forged vs. riveted sheet metal. This may not make a difference on small things but if you really want to put some force on them, the self adjusting type can't take a lot. Also the channelocks 426 is a little cheaper (~$15), although not quite as convenient. As far as flush cutters go, the Hakko-CHP-170 seems to be nicer quality from my experience and it's around $5. If you want to spend a little more money, Tsunoda makes some pretty nice flush cutters (~$10-$20). The Ifixit kit is pretty nice, but if you have harborfreight close by, the quinn electronics repair kit is a fair bit cheaper and very similar.
Love your work Irv, I'm 57 and just starting to have trouble with fine text and details, so I'm definitely going to look into getting a pair of those magnifying glasses! 😉
Good to see you back 👋👋👋
You deserve more subscribers than you have. I'm just leaving a comment just for the algorithm love. Keep up the great work sir.
Bring home your chopsticks when you eat out. They are great for several things. Especially for spreading glue. Glue alligator clip on one for holding parts for painting.
Needle nose pliers are useful as well for getting that little piece of support out of holes in prints.
Can of compressed air! Can be used to get print off of plate spray it upside down.
Arrowmax makes great little miniature handheld drill and screw drivers. They even have a tiny drill press for the tiny powered screw driver.
I could go on. But that should be a start.
I have a magnifying light with a ring of light around the lens that I really like. Also a deburring tool is very useful for 3d prints. For cooling my prints, I remove the magnetic bed from the printer and set it on the cool table to accelerate the cooling and release.
Shapiro! I'm glad you're back! I hope you don't mind, as I'm a goy, I've been praying for you. I've missed your tutelage, and I'm happy you're back.
A quick tip, instead of the razor scraper use a freezer. Put the glass and print in the freezer for a 1/2 hour. Remove it and if the print has not "popped" off, it will.
Irv,
I really enjoy your content and especially your presentation. You are so welcoming. Are you willing to answer a personal question? Have you, perchance, had rabbinical training? If not, you would be a natural.
For tools at this level, generally I agree, spend a bit more and get quality. But also, keep in mind that a lot of tools (like screwdriver bits) are consumables, and will wear out and need replacement.
For more expensive tools, my rule for a tool that I need for a specific job is to buy a cheap one. If I wear it out, it is something that I will continue to use, so then spend the money for a good one. This rule has worked well for me. Curiously, I don't have very man cheap tools in my toolbox.
That’s for the comment. My education is in computer science.
I like those glasses.
Lots of good suggestions. I agree that most of the time it is worth spending more to get quality. Wera tools are all good, a notch above the rest. Thanks for sharing
The it comes to "robo grip" you wants the Knipex. Not cheap, but very good ...
My most often used tool is a small multi tool (SOG Mini) it’s always nearby (pocket) and seems to be the right size for most tasks. FYI, I still miss the gigabite days back in Chi town…. ;-)
You can 3D print a folding utility knife.
DOC!!!!!
I prefer to buy ball nose Allen head wrenches, again, spend a bit more.
All the while you were talking about hand tools, I was in fact talking about 3D printers. What do you mean "we?"
He's wearing a little blue hat! 🧢
It’s a kippah or yarmulke. You should get one!
@@Krunch2020 Thanks, I didn't know that
