What's in your toolbox?

[CarlC]

1) Bulk of common tools = Craftsman. 5% speciality. 5% el-cheapo's that are bent, cut, welded, etc. to do one specific task.
2) Craftsman. Where else on Sunday can I get a replacement?
3) Is it the Bridgeport mill or the 10,000 ft-lb Titan-Mannings LP8 hydraulic torque wrench? Tough choice.
4) Field Services Manager for NSK Bearing Corporation.
