I like the "Grabbers" section. I'm always on the lookout for different types of grabbers or long cutters. I find that no matter how esoteric, the tool will end up being invaluable on some little project in the future. Lately, I have been collecting a lot of medical style grabbers like hemostats and laparoscopic operating tools. Just the other day, despite all my various little grabbers, I realized I needed something that can grab a stiff, round object as I was fishing wire through the attic for some new lighting. It probably would have saved me 30 minutes or more. So I'm on the lookout for a good option for that.

Ha, yes, I noticed those. I would prefer something a little more like a laparoscopic tool, but I might look around for one of those.
