Of any type in general, but Phillips or Star types in particular, Dad is a bargain lover, so he always buys cheap class screw drivers, last year he gave me two Phillips screwdrivers of different sizes as a gift. I was happy to use them when I needed to open a computer case, remove components or do some electricity…

Andy's opening question caused an eye-roll here, with its implication that introverts somehow have better PR and are more culturally valued, in the U.S., at least, than extroverts.

Here is a little bit of relationship advice.
I would also add in two saws: First is a bandsaw. The size needed depends on what you are doing but they are a great addition to a shop. There isn't much you can't do with a bandsaw and table saw.

Also, according to a graph I saw once, cancer causes cell phones.
In short, this silly tool allows someone like me, with very limited space, tools, and interest to make simple, sturdy furniture quickly, easily, and safely.
Look familiar? Yup - it's another cleaning product that I also mentioned back here in our list of awesome cleaning gear. Well - part of the reason I recommend them so heartily is because it took me so long to get on the bandwagon here. My mother discovered them YEARS ago when I was in college, and kept recommending…
This is a little unorthodox since "ProClip" doesn't really specific a specific model, but we'll take it. ProClip manufacturers a very wide variety of mounts that bring their own wide variety of mounting options.
