What is the most common tool to be found in your hands?

Lately it's been this But I always have a measuring tape close at hand.

These. They are outstanding.

A tape measure runs a close second.

At home lately it's been a hammer or a drill with a spade bit in it- finishing electrical rough in for my garage.

My smartphone for research. So much information to be found easily.

Other than that, my wiring tools.

My most-commonly used "tool" is my early-2000s billion-piece Craftsman socket set. But last weekend I gave the Mustang a buff with this baby:

Wire cutters. Either wire to run electricity through or wire to hold things or wire to keep furry things from eating chickens or if I've run out of things to wire I'm removing or installing more zip ties, both of which are best done with nice sharp wire cutters.

Utility knife and a spline tool (just re-screened 19 windows). Last week a shovel and post hole digger. Normally ratchets and screwdrivers.

this one.. though it no longer looks like this

It's now covered in glassfibre dust and epoxy.. but it's still a good tool and I am amazed that it took a company so long to build a dedicated rotary sander as opposed to just slapping a sanding disc on the end of the drill

between my personality and my current task on the car, this seems fitting edit: I thought the question was which tool WAS I the most.

Tin snips.

I call them shop scissors and cut just about everything with them.
