It seems everytime I combine objects or do some weird deforming to objects the the Move Tool/Scale Tool/Rotate Tool drifts off into space and forces me to zoom out of what im working on to use the tools. This gets very bothersome when im moving a piece into just the right place and i need to be zoomed in. Im still quite new at Maya and 3D in general so please help.

When you combine objects together, your gonna have a new origin for the new object.
You could manually move the manipulator tool to where you want, or simply ‘center pivot’ under the ‘modify’ menu.
