HAMMER!!!! Always a HAMMER!..lol
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

Side cutters. I use wire for my drowners. I can drive a stake with a rock or a club, but I can't cut wire with my teeth. My multi tool gets a workout, I use it at least once every day. Other than that, one of the most versatile tools I use is vicegrips.
It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, but only 3 for a proper trigger squeeze.

On the trapline, a heavy 3 pound hammer. Without that I wouldn't be able to get in hardly any stakes with all this limestone.

Left to right: A set of 9" Kleins A 10" Klein Screwdriver A 6" fixed blade knife If I had to pick one, give me the Kleins, If I can get the cutters around it, I can get it cut. If it can't be done with these three tools it dosn't need done right now.

On the trapline it's my stick(heavy shovel handle) with a hook in one end. I use it to find traps underwater, set a conibear off if I'm going to move it, test water depth, and if I shove it in the bank vertically it gives me something to grip onto to help pull myself up.
Check the archives, it's probably there!

3 lb sledge with a short handle. Has a piece of angle iron welded to the top on one side. Angle iron is sharpened at the start of each season to cut through roots and dig my trap bed.

A bobcat in your trap at 5:00am is better than a stout cup of coffee anyday.

I have dropped my pliers in the drink too many times to carry my Kleins on the line. Then again though, no other brand comes close in quality when it comes to pliers. Mike

B-2 bender is awesome! I was able to extend Victor chains this year, when all swivel parts would not fit. I just started the bend, put my nail through the swivel, and back into the b-2, finished the J-hook, and cinched it off. Indespensible!
