Default RE: What kind of a home shop do you have?

I only have a modest home toolshed, but I live in base housing, so all of my work has to be done either in my driveway or at the autocraft shop, which has several lifts and even a computer alignment machine, but I have

AmPro 13 gallon compressor
AmPro 1/2" impact (not a good one either)
AmPro 3/8" air ratchet
AmPro Air Hammer/Chisel
AmPro air powered die grinder
Craftsman socket sets galore
AmPro 2 ton jack
2 AmPro jack stands
(in case you haven't figured it out, I used to work at Advance Auto Parts)
Craftsman Multimeter (one of my most used tools)
Craftsman brake kit (spring pliers, washer puller, cylinder hone kit, adjuster tool, ect.)
Craftsman timing light
Craftsman steering wheel puller
Craftsman gear puller kit
Craftsman cone puller
Craftsman tap and die kits
I have pretty much everything that I need for my purposes, with the exception of a cherry picker and an engine stand, but once I get back from Iraq, I'll have those too.
