Two tools (aside from shop-based favourites like a speed square) A 2
pound dead blow and my personal companion,http://tinyurl.com/ygjzj4u


I use a speed square a lot too. I took the extra metal parts off a
big Swanson 12" super-speed square and use it just like...uhh.. a big
square. Very handy for marking long screw lines, squaring up carcases
and such.
