What is the most used hand tool in your shop?

For me, probably a square. Both combo and engineer. If those count.

Tape measure or pencil! If we were to narrow it down to hand tools with cutters, I’d have to say my block plane.

On a serious note it would be my 8’ pocket tape rule. I carry it with me in my pocket everywhere I go except to church. When you think of it what do you do more than most anything else? Measure.

Hey! I’ve got one of those “picker-uppers”, and you’re right about it being a handy device. You can even pick up snakes with it. I know.
