RRE - What tools will you be bringing?
I know... another one.
For planning purposes, I thought it would be good to list which tools you will be bringing to RRE for use by either yourself or for use in helping someone else with on-site mods.
Go ahead and select every category you're going to cover yourself, adn if we get too much duplication, we can help each other decide which ones to NOT bring so none of us carry anything unnecessarily.
In addition to checking off the item(s) in the list you're planning on bringing, pelase describe them in your post.
Once the poll has run for several days, I'll post the results by Friday evening of this week so we can all know how to plan our own packing needs.
Here are my details...
AutoEnginuity (most up-to-date version)
Compressor, 6.5 cfm at 90 psi (regulator is not regulating to lower pressures right now, though)
3-ton floor jack with 4 jack stands rated at 6 tons/pair
Two torque wrenches, will psot ratings later
Several cheater pipes, one 1/2" breaker bar (25" long), several pullers, one small metric tap & die set, strap wrenches

2. Battery operated impact guns 3/8, 1/2
3. Sockets, wrenchs, screw drivers, hammers, prybars, pliers
4. DVOM
I also have a wide assortment of air tools and will bring them if you guys think we will need them, as long as there is a compressor available.

Apparently I'll be bringing my electrical kit as my stupid locks don't seem to be working. Along with most of my tool box and floor jack and stands. I might even bring my C02 tank and air tools.
I do have a generator I can bring, but not sure that's really needed. If it is, let me know. Unless there's someone welding and needs a 240V outlet, I can't see why it would be needed.

Good details, guys. Keep 'em coming.
On the generator, I don't know if it will be necessary or not, but it might be, depending on where the compressor work is going to take place. I know for a fact that when I'm pushing my little portable job to do ball joints, it will pop my 20-amp breaker just because of the lights that are on in the half-basement adjacent to the garage. It basically needs a dedicated 20 amp circuit if it's pushed much.
