What’s the most underrated IT tool that you rely on daily, and why isn’t it more popular?

Not every hero wears a cape and not every tool is super popular. Some tools are lesser-known time-saving tools you use every week for several hours. So which underdog tool do you think needs more hype?

I will go along the line of @Samael1’s post and say:

Humor.

Agreed. I love sarcasm. It’s like punching people in the face… but with words.

Patience, NMAP, and a good pair of reading glasses. That pretty much covers it.

Snipping Tool. End user may not be able to describe what the issue is but a quick snipit if the error can save hours of troubleshooting.

The power-off-then-on button. Solves everything, except power issues…

Can’t go wrong with a picture. A picture is worth 1000 words. :slight_smile:
That would be #2. My favorite IT tool is my mouse. I hate using the mousepad or anything other than my trusty optical mouse.

Underrated IMO, but my spudger set. Snipping tool is up there for sure, but prying open a Precision is nigh impossible without some kind of wedge. Such a pain.

I have 3 I can’t live without: the administrative share (C$), Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan), and Snip. Win + V is a big help too!
