    Lets see you set of tools and work area

    I was wondering what every one else has for a work space and tool set, I know theres the "favorite tool" thread but lets all of your tools

    Keep in mind i use most of this for auto mechanics and restoration projects aswell so you dont need all of this for scrapping




    Random nuts bolts and other fasteners


    just a puller and set of calipers




    A junk drawer with some parts and specialty tools, electrical tools


    Screwdrivers, small prybars, Hex keys, picks


    Pliers


    Wrenches


    Sockets, extensions and ratchets


    Hammers, punches and chisels


    Big pry bar, breaker bar and old sockets for very large bolts

    All my air tools, and a dremel


    Body work stuff mainly and paper towels


    Work bench, I have a piece of laminated counter on top of the bench, but that damages easily so i screwed down a steel plate for durability


    My vise (3 dollar garage sale find)


    my 33 gal air compressor wedged in the corner


    All this is in a two bay garage, with one bay open to work in, The other side with some shop equipment.

    they are lug wrenches, the hole is for putting a bar thru, they are great if you have something with budnuts on it.

    I have a small toolbag behind my middle bench seat of my Single Cab chevy, weights about 30 pounds full of my scrapping tools. Works out great. Can even put the middle seat up with the toolbag there. I love it, its on the go ready so I can take it in to places if need be.

    Why do want to see my tool? Oh, you mean work shop tools. Those tools are to neet and clean to be a scrapper. My tools are all over my work bench but I know where every one is when I need it.

    Nice set up..for a surgeon or a dentist...just kidding. You need to add a sledge hammer,sawzall and a cordless drill.

    No sarcasm from me. I like pliers. I have a set of mini pliers from harbor freight or a tool tent, that gets used quite a bit. A knipex cobra that is always with me. Vise grips scattered around in places where I'll need them. And two drawers of my toolbox filled with assorted pliers. I also like hemostats, those little stainless locking jobbers. I use them to pinch hoses or for electrical work, but the uses are endless. All in all though, I like your setup.
