For your entire life???? Is this just a way of getting your post requirement in?

Tool for woodworking? Metal working? Gunsmithing? Weaving baskets?
I love the smell of cosmoline in the morning

I edited my post to be more specific.
A lot better than a few I have seen. At least he is back and gave better information on what he is looking for.
This is my second post. Seriously that’s the best they can do. LOL
Smokeless powder is just a passing fad. #1 gun rule,carry one.
If you're talking about tools to take to the range with you...?
Mini screwdriver set, metric/imperial hex keys, torx keys, a knife, staple gun, gun oil, aerosol gun cleaner/solvent and q-tips, a pen/sharpie, plyers/multi-tool. That's the basics I bring with me.

Personally, I find buggered up screw slots to look amateurish and ugly - so I would suggest to start with a good set of gunsmith screwdrivers - old school English would call them "turn screws" - so parallel or slightly hollow ground so they engage the screw all the way down inside the slot. Most mechanic and household screwdrivers are tapered sides - only engage to top corner of the screw slot - with torque pressure, that top corner of the screw rolls over. You should be able to insert and remove a slotted screw without making a mark on it - but that takes snug fit - I think the set I have has about 60 size tips or so, and I still occasionally have to grind a tip to fit a particular slot. I think Brownells used to sell a set of SIX sizes for dismantling a Winchester 94 rifle - is that many different size slots on that ONE rifle. There are some rifles here where the screw head has been engraved into the engraving on the receiver - so no doubt that screw would cost many hundreds dollars to replace - makes a specific driver for that screw very inexpensive, in comparison. Is also some rifles with "timed" slots - so every screw slot is North / South in a line on that rifle. I think "modern" is commonly to use a Torx style, rather than learn to use a slotted style.
The DEVIL caught me with my head down, and thought he had won - until I said "AMEN"!
