Pro tip: My foreman said to always carry a spare 5/16 hex key for those old Dover door operators, and it saved my butt yesterday.
Got stuck on a 1970s job in Cincinnati with a stripped adjuster, and that key was the only thing that got the car level. What's the one random tool you guys always keep on you?

Man, that's so true... it's always the weird little thing that saves you. I've seen this pattern everywhere, not just with tools. It's like the world is held together by these tiny, specific fixes that nobody talks about until you need one. @eric_reed21 gets it with the stubby screwdriver, a total pocket hero for random panel clips. My version is a tiny pair of needle nose pliers, they've bailed me out of more jams than I can count. It feels like a secret handshake for people who actually do the work.

Tbh @eric_reed21 I'd rather just grab the right tool from the truck than carry extra junk in my pockets.
