Yea. Can’t trust anything these days.

I like my Craftsman Metric mini ignition wrenches for adjusting the turnbuckles.
But yeah I use pretty much the same above. I use a mini vice grip instead of pliers or adjustable wrench. Bent Needle nose is always nearby..
But with the few nuts on these rigs, I just use Dynamite Nut drivers. MIP's for the rest.
I swear by my Tekno Shock tool pliers and 17mm wheel nut wrench. But there are much cheaper alternatives out there.

I think I have that same one. I know my framing nailer is a Bostich.

Wait they actually make a screwdriver magnetizer? I just use the old magnet trick.

Same thing really. This one has a demagnetiser too. Just different polarity I guess.
