What tools are important to you? I got an email today saying that the only tools you need is WD-40 and Duck tape. If it shouldn't, move and it does, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move, and it should, use the WD-40.

More fix-it advice: IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

Kristie, I have all the real stuff too, but Jeannie was asking for our favorites.... I have three sewing machines so I don't need to use a stapler to hem my clothes, but it's quicker.

Well, don't underestimate the power of a vapid look of consternation that says 'Honey, you are so much more clever than I am at this..' That is a power tool.

My dad got a tremendous deal when he had his pick-up truck seat upholstered. Yet he was complaining about the price. I looked at him and asked "Haven't you ever heard of duck tape?" That's how I always fixed it.

If it doesn't move, and it should, use the WD-40. My favorite tool was my manager, but he quit today. I'm not sure about the new guy.

A screwdriver and some innovative ideas that come handy with the use of it.
