I need to replace just about every (non-metal; moving parts; small sized) tool that was in my garage. Power tools, feeler guages, ratchets, etc.

Considering that I’d built up the previous collection over quite a few years, I’m quite sure that there are items that I cannot think of off the top of my head.

Basic auto work, maintenance. Home maintenance & repair. 12v electronics diagnostics & repair. Composites fab. You get the idea…

**Heres what i’ve got, please post some more suggestions:**  
Tool chest  
bench grinder  
angle grinder  
Compound miter saw  
Circ saw  
Scroll saw  
Sawzall  
Shop vac  
Belt/disc sander  
Dremel / rotary tool  
Router  
Walkie Talkie set  
Heat gun  
12v power supply (\<20 amp)  
Fluke multimeter  
Fluke clamp meter  
Noid lights  
Butane torch  
Grease fitting gun  
Air compressor  
Air powered tools (gun, ratchet, grinder, sander, chisel/hammer)  
Cutting stone set  
Air hosery  
Air powered tire tools (fill kit & guage)  
Air finish nailer  
Ratcheting wrench set  
Tq wrenches (.375" & .5")  
Torx bit sets  
Drill bit set  
Spark plug gapper  
Brush set  
Bottle brush hone  
Ring compressor  
Spring compressor  
Feeler guage set  
Caliper (micrometer)  
Carb. tool kit  
Engine picker  
tranny jack  
Fluid catch pans & funnels  
Timing light  
Compression tester  
Leakdown tester  
Pully removal set  
Tap & die set  
C-clamps  
Brake bleeder kit  
Corner braces (wood)  
T-bar braces (wood)  
Sanding block  
T square  
Quick sqaure  
Level & mag. level  
Hole saw kit  
Safety goggles

Thanks for any input… I hate being in the middle of something and not having the apporpriate tool, hence trying to replace all the important stuff now.

_Side note_: any bright ideas on how to clean standard steel tools? Wrenches, sockets, extensions, etc. …I was thinking parts cleaner & then a rock tumbler / polisher?
