Since both hubby and I have been known to "Plant" tools in the fields, I keep it simple and inexpensive to replace. I have a kit with a pair of regular blunt nose pliers, a pair of cutting pliers, needlenose, a flat screwdriver, and a hammer. I always buy lifetime guarantee hand tools, like Craftsman. Well worth the price versus the flea market tools that break while you are in the middle of a fix, leaving you in a fix!
