handiest
Easiest to reach
Handiest is the superlative of handy—most convenient, most useful, or most readily accessible.
It describes whatever is most useful for a task or closest at hand: Grab the handiest tool.
Someone who is the handiest is most skilled at practical tasks: He's the handiest person I know with a wrench.
