| Good question and difficult to come up with a single item. The hand vice I described in another thread is probably the most usefull because, in conjunction with other things such as tweezers, clothes pegs, pipecleaners etc, it has a multitude of purposes. I can also stick items freshly painted with a piece of sprue glued to them in the vice while they dry.
Probably one of the biggest revelations in recent years was when I purchased a new pair of tweezers. They are actually designed for electronic work and they are a good size with an angled end. I have found them absolutely superb for all forms of everyday holding and perfect for such tasks as rigging etc. In conjunction with the vice I can quickly and easily hold anything in any position on my modelling bench.
