I just upgraded to a new multimeter, and it's made troubleshooting so much faster. It’s amazing how much more accurate the readings are compared to my old one.

I’d add a good pair of needle-nose pliers to this list. They’re perfect for working in tight spaces, especially when you need to bend or twist wires.
