Also pretty good at fire prevention/extinguisher setups, I think I've made a few posts over here about that.

 

[lauver]

I would add Elroy in two catagories:

1) Tool restorations & general knowledge of old-line tools, and

2) Jack repairs & restorations.

EDIT: Elroy is also a proponent of #2 pencils in every toolbox and on all workbenches.

How about Monte and Superautobacs as our resident experts on European and Japanese (respectively) tools?
