I have a pair of crimpers from T&B from the 70's and they do down to 4/0 and the size of bolt cutters 
A forklift is on the list.
You'll love this. I have had the same one for years, lots of 12v battery cables crimped.
When your hands get old.
M12 power caulk gun. It doesn't care that the silicone is cold.

My wife got me a mini belt sander to add to the collection and I picked up an oxy/acetylene rig. 
I thought I was going to use my torch rig all the time.
I've had it for many years now and I'm still probably 90% full on the bottles.
Only used it like 4 times
Probably didn't help that I bought a big plasma cutter at the same time lol.

I go through full size 100% Argon and a 75%-25% every 2 months or so.
Torches I rarely use. I bet the tanks are from California. Left there in 2005.
I don't think I'll use it as much as I think but there have been times I wish I had one.I thought I was going to use my torch rig all the time.

I was thinking torch bottles.
I need a bottle of 75/25 right now lol.
There's places it's handy for. If I didn't have the plasma id probably use it a lot for cutting.
I'm lucky. Local small supplier 15 minutes away. $45 for a swap. He gave me his cell number, if I run out on a weekend.

Add this for doing small parts.
Been using my hypertherm xp45 for years now and zero problems . Buy a good one and dont look back .
I have a Miller Plasma Cutter, 625 Xtreme, has been working great for maybe 15 years or more.
I also have a Bolt Buster induction heater, I use it to heat rusted frozen bolts or nuts if needed. I rarely use it, but it's great when I need it.
The only torch I have is a little MAP or Propane torch.
That little belt sander is a major timesaver sometimes. It can reach where you can't get other stuff, and its fast when it does.
