Re: Hand Tools

Our wrench/ratchet set is craftsman, given to us by our school. The rest comes from Harbor Freight and is replaceable.

Our tool chest (a really old craftsman) contains:
-assorted screwdrivers, ranging from large to the small one for the cRIO power connection
-wire crimpers (2-3)
-a wire cutter, when the one on the on the crimper just won't do
-flat and round files (one round, 2 flats)
-needle nose and regular pliers (2 of each)
-monkey wrench (2 sizes)
-2 sets of standard allen wrenches, one metric set
-a adjustable crescent wrench (neither metric or standard )
-a hack saw, and a few replacement blades
-14.4 black and decker drill + charger
-AC grinder and cutoff saws (one of each) + several spare discs
-a digital caliper(my favorite thing)
-a measuring tape (16ft)
-various clamps

In another box (a newer craftsman set, the one found at sears)
-multiple sets of standard and metric wrenches
-really tiny standard wrenches (almost never used)
-standard and metric deep sockets
-standard and metric normal sockets (stared, 6-sided, and square)
-power tool adapters
-screwdriver adapters
-multiple ratchets
-an abundance of every thing 7/16.

Our primary mentor is the auto-shop teacher from our school, so we have access to a few pneumatic tools as well.
