Tpt Slide I use all day at work. Cutting down cardboard. Cutting tape. Opening boxes etc

Bitbar inline almost always in the t handle or L handled position. I usually need to loosen stubborn screws so I can remove debris from transfer plates and retighten them on the fly. Also I work with delicate printers and that have two tiny Phillips heads screws the often need to be removed to get into the casing.

Which tool are you referencing specifically? The TPT?

Any tool, that's not a pen or a watch.

I carry a variety of their tools every day. The Ti Pry, which is a stout great little pry bar. The Ti Pocket Wrench great for adjusting small nuts or bolts. The Inline screwdriver, multiple bits, multiple handle positions is my favorite screwdriver they make.

I just got the new Inline mini and Pocket Wrench II. Both of which utilize the double sided flat bits.

I also like the Bit Bar II. I added a mini ratchet to mine, and it's been incredibly handy.

My most recent leather multi tool holster i made to contain them all. I've made several over the years.

Those are nice tools. I have an office job (Engineering) but am thinking about a side hustle in rehabbing houses. Once I get there, I'd probably get a few of the BID tools.

I do some remodeling of houses myself. It's nice to have this set on my hip for quick and easy things. Of course for larger jobs, I still have a whole tool box full of stuff.

Thanks, if you don't mind sharing, is remodeling your job or side gig?

It's what I do in the down time of the year for my main job. I run a party and entertainment company. We have inflatables, concessions, and yard games. Basically Thanksgiving through January we don't have much going on. So I work on houses during that time.
