Just curious what others always have to have around in the way of cheap tools they can’t live without for doing body work.

I grabbed this years ago and can’t live without it for almost any job.

Bacho 625 Carbide Scraper

The carbide indexable blades last en eternity even when scraping metal. Great for knocking the rough slag edge off a panel you trimmed with a cutoff wheel, dross from a plasma cut, or even trimming back a high spot on the edge of 18-20ga sheet. I live with this in my hand to the point I even do drywall inside corners with it lol. I know for a fact Bacho makes the Snap On version, so hit them up if you’d rather pay 3X the price.

Next would be Dykem layout fluid. A worn out marker makes a huge fat line and rubs off where you need it most. Layout fluid with a sharp 90° Pick gives you a pinpoint scribe line that stays.

What other cheap items can you think of that you can’t live without.
