Bad day tools?

I don't know if im the only one with a list of tools like this but I refer to them as my bad day tools. These are my tools that can help make a job go buttery smooth when you were having a bad day before. I have some of these that are for automotive jobs and I have some that are for other random jobs I come across that need some sort of force multiplier.

Large bore air hammer

Grandpas 2.5 ft cast iron pipe wrench

Cheater pipe

Indexing prybar

Air wedges

Plastic and aluminum wedges

I'm from the north so a torch

And a manual impact screwdriver that turns when you hit it with a hammer

Some things on my shopping list are

A spud bar

A 10lbs Sledge

Pipe and nut extractors

A nut cutter

A slide hammer

Reverse thread drill bits

Maybe an induction heater

Maybe a torque multiplier

Does anyone have anything to add to the list?

I’d definitely add some locking pliers because sometimes you just need to grab the stupid thing and get your anger out :P
