I bought one of those keyboard plastic covers so I could still work when my hands were covered in grease and just pull the cover and wash it later. but I had a speaker set tied to the computer as well. was working on getting a cheap projector before I moved to hang from the ceiling and if I was working on something that I needed a guide for or something, I could display it on the wall and not have to slide out from under the car to look at the screen. or print something out.

and it doubles as a movie projector as my old house, the garage and mancave were one in the same.

That would be awesome - the projector for displaying guides I mean. Combine that with say a soft copy of the device manual

I haven't seen anyone mention a hydraulic jack

King Nothing · 06-25-2013, 12:42 AM

A bottle jack comes in handy

45thCamaro · 06-25-2013, 01:35 AM

Garage can, brawny industrial cleaning wipes(trust me they are the sh't), creeper, oil catch pan, nudie poster, tool storage, peg boards, bench vise, rubber mallet, 5 lb lump hammer, dremel, jigsaw, radio setup of some sort, work bench, stool, extension cords, channel locks, broom and dust pan, rags, lighting, wall mounted bottle opener, battery tender, bucket, hose nozzle, DUCT TAPE, electrical tape, JB weld......just to name a few. I could keep going.

I love craftsman if you can't tell lol here ya go Jarrod

this is my toolbox at work. I need to go through and organize all lol

45thCamaro · 06-26-2013, 09:06 AM

Don't buy any craftsman power tools or jacks. They are terrible quality. I've bought both and had them fail.

I use mine 5 days a week 7-8 hours a day and I've had no issues with them.

Added to the list.

OmniCamaro · 07-18-2013, 02:56 PM

The air hose reel is a must, I hate rolling that thing up every time I use it! I haven't seen VICE GRIPS, GOOD WORK BENCH(I prefer wood but have seen wood with steel covering or all steel), plenty of overhead light, and floor covering(either cardboard or a total garage covering). Also, not sure what your weather is but fans, A/C, and/or heat.

This is pennies compared to all the tools listed here but, I found this trim tool set when I changed my shift boot and it worked really well. Kept the trim from getting all chewed up.

That trim tool set is a must have.

Vice grips, and air hose reel will be added when I get home from work. I have a built in work bench that was from the previous owners, which I'm not sure if I want to leave there or just build a new one. Thanks for the additions. =)
