I always use a neon after the appliance i was working on had no earth through the plug lead and a bared live touching the case and whilst pulling it out I touched another apliance that was earthed…did i have a surprise! so now i always use a neon to touch the case before I touch it…
i dont know about most used but i ended up losing my 8mm socket today and my last job was a e/lux split cab with lots of 8mm nightmare.My most used ar emy 2 bosch drivers the small one with the angeld attatchment and my small drill/driver.
