Having the ultimate set of hand tools can make you the most popular tech on a tour. It also means you will constantly be updating your kit with newer models as you replace the tools that were permanently borrowed, as well as all the expendables (screws, rivets, tape) exhausted. PLSN reached out to several online forums to ask what tool was their most indispensable. Number one by a mile was the Crescent wrench. (Also known as the C-wrench, the spanner and the AJ). Second was gaff tape, because as we all know, 95 percent of all stage problems can be fixed with a roll of gaffa.
