Hey, you didn't specify it had to be automotive!

This

and everything that hooks up to it.

including the Air-Lift kit, flooring nailers, plasma cutter, etc

Also, those Craftsman nextec tools are great. Small, light, powerful, battery lasts a very long time, and some unique offerings like the hammer, oscillating cutter, and cordless Dremel-style tool. I was like "who needs a cordless hamner" but there are times when there's just no swinging space, even with a hammer turned sideways, to drive a nail, and this thing will do it in no time. It doesn't get a lit of use, but when you need it, it's a life-saver. Probably also great for older people with arthritic joints or other health issues that would prevent them from being able to do something themselves.

That is not a tool, that is a system. or a commercial ship building business.

LOL - it's a Porsche-building one anyway, but not commercial nor a business. There's been some work done here though, for sure.


928 Spyder looked like this at one point



914 motor out to replace oil cooler and push rod tube seals.



All this went into the silver 997 during the course of a week


Getting back on-topic, the Motive Power Bleeder is also a great tool.



Every Spring I add a few quarts of fluid and bleed the brakes on all the P-cars since I've changed them over to all use the same Motul RBF600 fluid. Can do them all in about an hour.

I'm partial to the old fashioned bottle opener, or church key as my uncle used to say. It's the first tool I reach for when starting a garage project, and is often used several times during the project.
