Remembered some more:
- snap ring pliers - one large, one small
- jack stands
- cardboard from what ever appliance we bought last (I don't like to lay on bare cement for hours at a time, and it keeps the oil off the garage floor)
- digital calipers

Instead of typing it all out, this was much easier.
Wrenches, standard and metric, plus metric ratchet style.
PA020001.jpg
Screw drivers, panel removers, and stethoscope.
PA020002.jpg
Every possible socket, deep, shallow, crows feet, torx, hex, security torx, all sized drives, breaker bars, torque wrenches in foot pounds and inch pounds, extensions, swivels, adapters.
PA020003.jpg
Plyers of all types, hose clamp tool, pop rivit, spark plug boot puller, snap ring.
PA020004.jpg
Air tools, taps, dies, AC clutch tool, spring compressor.
PA020005.jpg
Clamps and hammers
PA020006.jpg
Electircal stuff, micrometer, digital clamp
PA020007.jpg
Punches, fuel line tools, mirror, magnet, RTV, easy outs
PA020008.jpg
This only covers the main tool box, don't even cover the shelf with all the boxed stuff like fuel pressure tester, compression tester, stuff like that. Not to mention the lap top with HP tuner on it.
