Seems like not enough tools! Gonna be adding another tool box to store all the new tools I've obtained over the last few months. Box one is full and still I feel the need to add more tools!

I have all kinds of crap in mine. Gloves, zip-ties, exhaust heat wrap, electric tape, soldering iron, scissors, screws, nails, etc. I'm like a pack-rat when it comes to tools because you never know when you might need that ________.

the spring compressor is an SK 3000 spring compressor...
the shop i work in has a branick spring compressor...only problem is since many newer cars are now switching to the smaller coils....the branick isnt really made for the larger coils thus your only grabbing the spring at an awkward angle, making it really spooky to change the smaller coil springs.

heres a link to the compressor

miller has made it smaller now....wish i could get the smaller version....i also like the inverter technology with the dynasty's. would solve a lot of power requirement issue and is more mobile....but that can be a negative as its easier to steal as well.

Picture from sears.com but that's my toolbox, I got it as a present last Christmas. I also got myself two torque wrenches, ramps, gloves, 2 1/2 ton jackstand.. Thats about it for now, and it gets the job done.

You guys that are running Miller's check out the Lincoln's. I can attest that they are a superior product being as I work for them and know what goes into both machines.

A flex head 3/8 inch drive ratchet! Without it I don't think I would have been able to install my downpipe.

Looking for something to hold your nuts? Try a magnetic dish from Husky, $9 (Home Depot). Can even hang upside down underneath your car on its rubberized based (don't let it fall on your face however...).
