you forgot sparks for the grinder, bubbles for the spirit level and the long weights

Bought this little set off a guy on Craigslist in 2009 for $50, to carry on the road the only thing they haven't fixed is a flat tyre.

Two things , thank you Arron probably a bit small for me but will look at Hare& Forbes next time in Melbourne , and Keith that was a bloody good buy with everything you need when your'e on a run and shit happens, you want to see what l take when l go interstate on the shovel

I love my 18v cordless impact gear.  Gasless welding is shit.  You can buy disposable gas bottles, no rental 

All my tools are good some may not get used as much as the other tools but they are all needed

I see and hear a lot of people saying gasless mig is crap. Personally i thought the same when i was using cig gasless wire i couldn't figure out what was going on with inconsistent welds .
Then by chance i tried a different brand that was flux cored and never had any issues it was great.

Bugger buying disposable bottles.

Bunnings want something like $40 and they say lasts 20 mins.

I like my ratcheting spanners. Good for my man sized hands in hard to reach places.

A good solid bench and a vice is also a must.

I really need to build a bike lift

Find yourself some old bbq with wheels rip out the plate,burners,knobs anything to lighten it up replace the top with a bit of MDF and you end up with a top mobile workbench/mobile bar for refreshments after ya knock off and if you add a multi power point  you can run tools also.And the tray under it is a top spot for tools in a box/ esky or get some angle iron  and build draws ect.You could even cut a slot for a circular saw this is is one of my most usefull tools  I realy love due to lack of space,lighting and shade.  

I have a bunnings work bench that looks like it is just pallet racking and made up some extra bracing with pieces of rod so its as solid as, definitely agree with Vice recommendations, one tool I used which I think straight away I could no longer live without is a big corded drill, after killing countless cordless drills, I bought a 750watt Makita and it is brilliant, like most good things it's probably overkill but geeze its fun to use.
Anyone here have a drill press ? if so does it get much use ?

G'day Whisky, Great idea re the BBQ. A mate if mine moved to Sydney and couldn't fit the old BBQ on his ute, so left it at my place,,,, that's 12 months ago !!!! I spoke to him recently, and he said give the thing to someone down the pub that might want an old bbq.

Have a guess what its going to be turn into now !!!! Cheers .

Back on track re the topic ,,,, what couldn't I due without in the workshed ,,, don't have to think to hard ,,, the fucking BAR FRIDGE !!!!!

+1, and a decent stubby holder that doesn't tip over when you put your beer down.

Just seen the latest specials on bike lifts at SCA. $90. can't go wrong.

The one machine I would really love is a mill/drill. Pretty much got everything else.

I have 2 huge roll cabs full of tools, 2 MIGS, a plasma cutter, drill press, a shit ton of power tools and I still dont have enough. I think I have a problem..............I tried looking up TA (Tools Anonymous) on the web, but got completely different sites

My Lathe, Mill, MIG, OXY/Acetylene, Sander/Linisher, Compressor, ShopSmith, Drill press, cordless drill and selection of 4" grinders/sanders and instrument/electronic repair tools

Possibly the two cheapest things you need are;

Duct tape if things are loose and shouldn't be and WD 40 for things that aren't loose, but should be...
