Pools of my blood and tears.
Seriously though nothing strange. Some q-tips and what you would expect basically. Brushes, knife, drill and stuff like that.

I dot even have a toolbox. So much fro that.
Im mostly posting here to ask you how in hell deid you manage 60 trades?

Are you talking about hobby tools, or general tools?

For hobby tools:
Dremel, 4 small clamps, 2 large clamps, desk vise, awl, power drill, airbrush, electric toothbrush, sculpting tools, soldering iron, several pairs of clippers and pliers, spoon, couple of flat saws, jewelers saw, straight edge, calipers, compass, dentists mirror, pin vise, several small files, sandpaper, couple pairs of tweezers, hair dryer, etching tool, small funnels, wire brush, small strainer.

Non hobby tools is much longer list.

Oddball tools? Lemme think...

I've got a chopstick in there for something, but I don't remember what. Nail file...not all that odd I guess...pennies for my "Help a Nid Stand Foundation," and....nails. Nope, not sure why the nails are in there either. I should get those random odds and ends out of there, I could be putting more paint and useful tools in my tacklebox....

i figured i was odd with the forceps......but dentist mirror............i like that...........but the funnels and strainer.........strainer during stripping to not lose anything........funnels you got me there

Funnels are for returning simple green to the bottle (it doesn't wear out, from what I can tell), and returning excess terrain sand or snow to the container. Strainer is used more when washing resin/metal models, so no parts go down the drain.

forgot to mention the multimeter too.

I have a funnel too, i used to just use a rolled up paper but its not very clever that.
