This pair of Snap-On needle nose pliers is by far the best and most useful modeling tool I have ever purchased.

As far as my list of tools... well... I have EVERYTHING!

The three most-used, for me, are my X-Acto knives, a set of dividers, and a small pair of blunt-end, smooth-jawed pliers.

Naturally, lots of other tools come into play, too.
