Never bought tools from Mouser before. Have a small electronics parts order, want to get my cart to $100 for free shipping!

The only think I am looking for specifically is a small adjustable wrench, rather than using needle nose pliers for tightening speaking binding posts and RCA jacks (the needle nose always slip and scratch the nuts)

What tools do you like?
Thanks!

Consider open end wrenches.
I’m going to look at what mouser has to offer for a small adjustable

Just checked Mouser. Geez they are asking an awful lot for Klein adjustable wrenches. Klein has always been pricey though.

Bourns H-90 to assist in adjusting trim pots. Buy extras as they have a way of hiding away when you need them. 🙂

6" crescent wrench would come in handy. https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Jonard-Industries/AW-6?qs=AAveGqk956EY5POEFuu2xQ==

For RCA sockets and binding posts, I prefer a nut driver if the right size is available.

Or just get a complete socket wrench set, it's best to have both metric and English.

These lead benders are really useful.

Hey Rayma, I am actually looking for lead benders! Your links aren't working for me though.
