The Unsung heroes of your garage...

[TheBeast_88K5]

We all know who the big boys in our garages & shops are...

We know that our Welder's are a neccessity;
We all know that a good shop press, is where it's at;
And, Plasma is boss....

But, what about the little guys?
The items in your workspace, that really keep the work flowin'?

Toss up a list of of your "must have" stuff.


For me it's a few things:

First, and foremost, is tunes....
*Without tunes, I go ballistic when frustrated.

Batteries...
*Because running out of power sucks!

Measuring devices...
*They're so easy to take for granted...

Blow gun attachment...
*Because nothing clears a workspace faster...

Picks....
*Holy hell, what would I do without picks!?

Oh yea....

This entire shelf, too...

I missed a few that I'll post later....
But, BFH is a good one.

Absolutely BFH! Lets not forget our floor jacks and jack stands.

Lets not leave out a trust Tubing bender!

First of all - you call that tunes? I'm more in favor of large wall mounted speakers and hundreds of Watts - but to each their own. I usually have my shop setup connected to the house fileserver over WiFi.

To add to your list - HEATER!
And air compressor, of course.

Well played sir. You win at life

Vice Grips & Zip Ties

Two of the most understated, yet true heroes, of garages everywhere

Speedi dry, broom and dustpan. To clean up the mess my truck leaves behind.

Oh... Good one!

That's my portable tunes.
It's actually an emergency radio.

It totally kicks butt, when you're not in the garage.
Or, if your at lake.

 

[K5-CJ5]

Lets not forget Duct tape and WD40. Duct tape is great for everything, and WD40 is as well, can even set a tire bead in a pinch!

Heat and a beer fridge are first, a clean strong work bench and lots of light.

Norcals fridge is perfect.

 

[The Butcher]

I concur, Zip-ties are a must. I get them as gifts all the time since people know how much I use them.

 

[jekquistk5]

Having heat and a huge air compressor are the big ones for me. and 10" of concrete to anchor my bender and other things
