ah another proponent of the stubby combos! see a couple sets in there... invaluable in the marine business.. its what i keep in my rigging bag for wrenchs...

i have blown up a few of the new ratcheting gearwrenchs, but they are a godsend usually... good seller, everyone seems to have em...

yes, your right. when I can afford one this is what I WILL get, a HAAS TM2 tool room mill with a tool changer and rigid tapping and a few other options. HAAS machining centers are some of the most user friendly machines out there. very simple to program.

Probably a TIG welding setup or a plasma cutter. A giant high-cfm compressor for sandblasting etcwould be nice too...

We just got a Haas VF2 in our shop. It does some really nice work. Now I'm dreaming up parts to make.:D

My choice for one tool would be a Leatherman.

An internet connection, with a bookmark to www.ck5.com (http://www.ck5.com)


That has proved to be the most valueable tool I've had access to over the past 5 years. It's saved me more time/money and aggravation than any item in my toolbox or workshop.
