hmm... late to the game here. almost every single tool owned is snap-on. air tools are snap-on, ingersol-rand, chicago pneumatics and some bluepoints not available under snap-on name. makita power tools. got rid of my hefty 24v units after the 18v ones had equivalent ratings. sheet metal tooling is from a few different sources whether it is head sets or special tooling being as how i work on commercial aircraft. when and if i ever get a permanent place to live again i will be getting an ingersol-rand compressor. will spend about a grand for the setup. will also aquire an snap-on or otc press. arbor one as well. also various shop based equipment. other special tools i have as well as jacks and such are from otc. scanner software is from palmer performance called scanxl pro. also have a snap-on mt2500 for diagnostics and functional testing. way to many individual pieces to list really.

Aside from a couple sets of pliers, Ive never had to exchange a hand or air tool... Electric tools on the other hand...
