Thought I’d share some photos and do a toolbox tour and show some of my favorite tools. These are the tools I used as a collision repair/restoration tech. Am a bit of a tool snob, I just like good tools that will last, I have no time for junk, also like my stuff nice and clean.
My main box.

Basically a high priced tape measure with pointers.

The AFS sanders have removable rods and a nice piece of stainless steel for the floorplate, hands down the best sanders made. This model here is 3 ft long.

One of the guys I used to work with super glued these figurines to my box, can’t find it to throw ‘em out so now they just keep a watchful eye on my stuff.

Don’t know the part number but these are great. Made by gearwrench, you put the bit in the holder which then goes into a special ratcheting wrench. Work wonders when space is limited. Uses the standard 1/4 and 5/16 bits.

The wrench has a lip on one end to prevent the bit holder from sliding through.
