I bought a couple of the magnification visors at harbor freight. Then I attached magpul rails to the sides so I could mount lights. Also I took 3m velcro and stuck it to the top of the visor, then bought a good LED headlamp with adjustable brightness and stuck the other velcro piece on the mount part after removing the head strap. With the light options I have a clear view of what I'm working on if I need to see fine details.my bench mounted lighted magnifying lens, monocle, or magnetic parts dish.
Your brain
Man that is a hard one.
Sear jigs/Ignition tools. India stones. Polishing jigs. Sight pushers. Barrel wrenches. Punches. Plastic and brass hammers.
And yes, occasionally the "DREMEL"
Sometimes my most widely used tool is a vast array of colorful and unique curse words. I am an artist of sorts.
A ink pen... To write AllenM a check!

A good vise that's bolted down also priceless.i have some magnetic rubber guards that keep the teeth from marking up work. Also a good piece of thick cowhide leather I can use.
And an apron to keep metal shavings or grease and oil off your clothes.
Also I have hearing damage already and need to protect what's left, so if I'm hammering on a front sight post pin or use the dremel for metal shaping or shaping or sanding, I have a pair of electronic earmuffs I wear.
Safety glasses too[/QUOTE
A butter knife.
It works on any size screw, including philips if it's pointy, and if it has the heavy metal handle, you can use it with a nail to tap pins out.
