Depends upon what I’m making Michael. For general stuff I use:

Scalpel with both straight and curved blades. Good quality needle files. Eye surgery scalpels that work a treat as a small chisel. A needle file that has been ground down to make a sturdier small chisel that the eye surgery scalpels. Sprue cutter. Good quality tweezers. A small  pair of watchmakers pliers.

That’s about it. For anything else I will make stuff at work, having the advantage of a full workshop at my disposal.
