====Straight, self-holding tweezers====
=== Side Cutters ===
==== Knipex 70 01 110 ====
The side cutter that saves my electronic side cutters from becoming toothless and sad. Can handle up to 1.2mm Dia Hard Wire, 2mm Dia Medium Wire and 3.2mm Dia Soft Wire and costs about 25 bucks.

=== Scalpels ===
There are many types of straight edged and round edged scalpels beside the ones listed below. The one mentioned here are the essential types needed to attach botch wires and sniffing wires to signal tracks covered by solder mask. The fixed connection between the handle and the blade of the disposable version makes this type of scalpel a little bit more precise than the scalpel handle with exchangeable blades. Naughty people even cut through pins of ICs with scalpels to remove ICs without the use of a heat-gun, but you didn't read that here, as that dulls a blade pretty quickly and should only be used in a pinch.
===Wire Strippers===
==== Knipex 12 40 200 ====Probably the last general purpose wire stripper you'll buy for , costing about 50 bucks.[[File:Knipex1240200.jpg|none|thumb|Knipex 12 40 200</br>self-adjusting wire stripper</br>7-32 AWG, 0.03mm2..10mm2 ]]
