Tools for the gun owner

[brant]

I tried this question before but I could have worded it better so ima gonna try again.

Please discuss tools and gadgets that you use in your home for tending to your personal guns. Not a full blown gunsmith, just making your gear better.
Such as, what screw drivers do you like or what measuring tools do you trust.

Thank you
Brant

Real Avid gun vise, Wheeler screwdrivers and Fatwrench, Wilton bench vise, Swiss PB Allen wrenches, various sizes and brands of files and hammers.

A good vise with pads makes up for too few hands. Old screw drivers with heads cut off make good push pins or temporary pins when assembling and disassembling guns. A magnetic parts tray keeps small pins and springs from disappearing easily. Diamond lap “stones” for polishing or trigger work because they are flat flat flat.

These have been great for working on Colt SAAs:

Grace screwdrivers, Powers stoning jig, Wells third hand tool, quality files, brass punches, highest quality cleaning kit you can get, good gunsmith vise, bench block. That'll do much of everything you'll probably do yourself at first.
