Hey all, what is your favorite, most used, or useful accessory that others may not have thought about?
I'll start, gotta have a rotary fabric knife! Turn a t-shirt into a pile of patches in a fraction of the time of scissors. Second is an air compressor. I know most people have one but if you don't, a cheap pancake compressor makes cleaning so much easier. Great for drying intricate parts like locks or revolver parts.

What all ya got?

Very large pair of antique tailors scissors. Use to cut cleaning and shooting patches.

I've used a pair of large scissors for many years for patches. I just fold over the fabric until I get about 6 layers, and then I use a round object...like an old percussion cap can...and draw as many circles on the fabric as I can with a pen. I sit down in front of the tv and start cutting patches. It doesn't take much time cutting half a dozen at a time with those large scissors and I keep at it until I've cut hundreds of them each time.

I'd like to take the credit but they aren't my inventions. The top one is from TOTW. The bottom is a magnetic one that @davec2 makes and sells.

I know a guy named Igor (its pronounced EYE-gor) that can hook you up....

I had one of these, but it was defective. Had to send it back and got a refund.
