Hi All;

    I posed the question to my bench help. His answer: "opposable
    thumbs". 

    Seriously, the most important addition to my shop in recent memory
    was my adoption of the GRS system of bench equipment. I don't have
    one of everything they make yet, but there's not a single gizmo
    they've come up with that I'm not convinced I absolutely must have as
    soon as I can afford them. My advice is, after you get a good torch
    and flexible shaft machine, plus the basic hand tools like files,
    pliers, etc., get at least the GRS basic kit plus an inside ring
    holder. These have made my life immeasurably easier and probably
    saved a lot of wear and tear on my hands and my patience.
