As a carpenter, I find myself having to deal with mechanics tools all too infrequently. Yet when there's a nut to be tightened, I need a wrench. I just wonder why I carry 30 lbs. of non construction type of tools around every day just to be able to do some ODD JOB UNO.
I'm gonna see if I can assemble the minimum amount of multi use tools and have everything I have in that 30 lb. box. This dog bone wrench looks like a good place to start.

As a kid, Vise Grips were the tool of choice, even worked as a seat clamp for our bikes...
