The handies tool set I have bought lately has been a set of metric Gear Wrenches. The combo box and open end wrenches with the ratcheting box end.
They are Ghetto Fabulous

I migh have to agree. I think being able to make your own threaded holes when and where you want is about the coolest thing next to a portable winch.

I'm working for a small company installing a number of of DC power plants for telephone systems and large UPS systems for the peripheral equipment and have really discovered how helpful a good tool pouch is. A day filled with bending over to get tools and too many trips back to the truck for some needed tool, starts to wear on you. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.contractorstools.com/graphics/occleat_1555.jpg) I looked at a number of them before I found the Occidental Leather 1555. The Occidentals are are the best..

I'd have to say this tool became very critical on my front end rebuild: ![[Linked Image]](http://content.sears.com/data/product_images/009/44598/00944598000-dlv.jpg) Got one new in box on Ebay for $60 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Sure beats the old non-ratcheting beam type I had. Other great additions which happened to come off Ebay: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/46000-46099/46085.gif) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.arizonatools.com/img/products/C/CPA-722.JPG)

My boss' old gas powered air compressor, 2 stage, with 5hp B&S chugger. My house power won't even support a pancake compressor, so between that and hopefully a new place going up in the next couple years off-grid, I'll be able to keep up on my little projects. Good tap/die set and racheting combo set are on the list. Santy Claws gave me the new 18v Dewalt suitcase combo <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

If you want a good quality welder AND back up power generator, these are the best bang for the buck!.. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.millerwelds.com/images/products/bobcat225ntwrg.jpg) Miller probably sells more of these than any other welder and it's reflected in the price.. Getting a continuous duty 10kw generator driven by a 20 hp Kohler engine is not bad for the money.. One down side.. these things are LOUD... but if you are in an area off grid shouldn't be a problem....
