How do I deduct my hand tools for my real estate practice and client party? Two in one question. I am a real estate broker and I manage properties. In the process I have to do repairs on certain properties and have purchased hand tools for this purchase. I don't want to have to capitalize and all that for a 3.99 screwdriver so how do I deduct these purchases. Part two. If I throw a client party at my house, can I write off the entire amount or is it subject to the 50% entertainment stuff. Thanks in advance for your answer. I have several hand tools so the screwdriver is an example. I can't imagine I have to fill out a sect 179 deduction for each one

Tell me about some cool hand tools.? Almost everyone who's handy has those one or two tools that do the job of five others or just the one job but five times better than the standard one. (You know, the one you like to show off, or the one people always want to take a look at anyway.) For example, mine are a handle that acctpts screwdriver bits but also takes sawzall blades, eliminating the need to keep a hacksaw, combination saw,or punch saw (I just keep a few of each type of blade and thats all I need). Its made by "General" and can usually be found in Home Depot. My other is a ratcheting screwdriver that flips back and forth from straight to T for ease turning/carrying. Its made by a company called sabertooth and I got it off their website (www.sabertoothtools.com). Now, please, tell me some of yours, how they work, what they do, and where you got them so I can find one too if I like the idea. Thanks all.
