Which tools would you guys recommend?
OK, since I'm setting up here and trying to get all the tools I need, I thought I'd see what you guys would recommend. Here's what I've got:
About every socket needed
About every screwdriver needed
About every pliers and adjustable wrench needed
Lots of crowbars and prybars
Several drills (still need a cordless one)
DA sander
HVLP sprayer
Impart wrench
Air ratchet
Grinder, angle grinder, and cutoff tool
Sawzall
Chop saw
Rotisserie
Lots of jackstands and a good jack
Powdercoating setup with oven
MIG welder (coming soon)
Lots of drop lights and things
And probably some other stuff I can't think of. What tools do you guys think I should get my hands on?

I've got plenty of good BFHs, that's one of my main tools.
Good idea on the bender and flare tool. I need to bend up the brake and fuel lines on this car, that would be a great purchase.

If you want to spend money and grow your collection (okay, so it is an investment) then find your local Snap-On and MAC guys. When you are doing a job pay attention to what you are doing and think of what would make it easier, then ask them for the tool to do it. Probably 95% of the time they've got it or can get it.
