The title says it all. What is your sacred favorite K'NEX piece that you just can never seem to get enough of?

Mine is a toss up between two VV rods.

They only come in VV. I have 2 VV's, so I have a decent amount of both of these pieces. I just never can get enough of them.

My secret to shaping success lies behind the little black clip connectors.

Mine has to be the VV long black rod, if not then I vote the blue spacer.

I like the ones that clip onto the rod that make the gears spin and not just sit there when the road is being turned. I don't have much of those and with my new coaster the drill has snapped 3 of them.

Hand connectors. They make supporting at angles so much easier.

The small, black, VV rods: Extremely useful for any VV spine.

Are you talking about the ones from VV, or the normal micro ones?

3D connectors and granites, without them, I cannot build coasters.

My favorite are gray rods because I need them for tube supports and for hyper coaster track (Steel Force).

Ball-in-socket connector. Perfect for when no other connector does the job.

This kind stays in place really well, so I prefer it over the standard one.

I know right! But they don't really give you that many and are really hard to find them in any sets besides the SS, which they give you like two.
