I have a little drill press that could be a cousin to that little green job next to the roll cab.

ricleh, just curious, why do you have several things in duplicate or triplicate? 3 CTS561 electric screwdrivers, 3 sets of the same snap ring pliers?
This kind of looks like another box of tools that look pretty, but never get used.

Question for you, I noticed on your air tools you have the "swivel" connection and a short air hose connected to them. In the manuals of my new air tools they always request that you put this on your tools, my question is: what is the benefit of these short air hoses (aside from the swivel, which I assume makes the tool easier to maneuver around)? One of the reasons I haven't done this is, I have a small box, all the air tools go in the bottom drawer and it would fill up the drawer quite a bit; with my 10+ airtools that live in there! Any responses appreciated!

All of my tools have been used at one time or another. Some get used more often than others of course. The main reason for duplicates is my inability to pass up a really good deal. I am selling one of my snap ring plier sets, also one of the cordless screwdrivers and one of my 1/4" drive 44 piece sets and one of my battery/starting system/alternator testers. I don't see a need for these tools and therefore I will sell them, but I got them for practically nothing and I think I will make a nice profit on the sales.

It is a friction drive ratchet. No ratcheting mechanism. It has a 3/8" drive mechanism along with a 1/2" drive mechanism. To reverse the direction you remove the drive and insert it from the other side. It is not good for high torque applications, but it will work in very confined areas. It is definitely a special purpose tool.

It is a RolAir 1.5HP 110V compressor. I use it to drive finish nailers and for other light jobs that don't require a lot of air flow. It is light and very well built.
Here are some pictures of my compressors

I have a 100' hose on a retractable reel connected to my big IR compressor. This hose is very tough and not very flexible. The whip hoses on my pneumatic tools are very pliable and flexible. It makes it easier to get the tool where I need to put it. The hoses do take up room in the tool drawer, but I highly recommend them. They make the job much easier IMO.

about 90% snap on at work , got lots of matco and s-k in storage
have not bought many new tools in 8 years and most of my stuff is 20 years old
1/4 in flex ? lots of interior work and they accumulate

I totally agree. Anyone who uses this tool will wonder how they ever got along without it. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it IMO. Anyone who works on differentials and doesn't own this tool is crazy.

Agreed. Some very nice stuff, with an obvious eye for quality.

Sorry, but there is no comparison
Been working on the road and haven't been on for a while. Looked back and realised that post sounded kind of AHole-ish. I was trying to say that in my opinion "Knipex > Channellock", even though it ended up sounding like "my box > your box". Just to clarify, i've had channellock stuff for a long time and still use some of them. My favourites are the cutters with the crimper (model 909) which are really handy for simple wiring jobs. I always thought channellocks were very high quality, but when i was introduced to Knipex stuff I was blown away by the functionality, quality and durability.
Anyway, you guys have some great looking boxes and I'm more than a little jealous of most of you....

Rick, you could set up a tool store. Last time I saw that many new tools complete with manuals and advertising inserts was at Home Depot.
Looks like your set up for just about any trade you decide to pursue.
Except surgery. Those are nice tools, for sure, but I wouldn't want to be poked by any of them

Hey ricleh, I guess now anyone here wonders one thing :
Do you even have room for a car with that much tools in your garage ?
