My most advanced tool is probably my truing stand.

And my state of the art work space. Pop up canopy, small stool that doubles as a toolbox, sheet of cardboard for kneeling on, and a beer. :mrgreen:

Be careful, don't let that fall on your toes! :shock:
 
Pictures of my stuff now would be worthless, it's all just a pile in the shop on top of a pile below a pile.

I have wanted a large vise for quite some time, but I'm not willing to buy a "new" Chinese one and the old ones are hard to find or out of my price range.

I have a welder and an air compressor that are used regularly. I need a torch set, now I just use one of those propane plumbing torches.

I keep my metric tools on my tool cart (rolling book warehouse cart, 3 deep shelves per side, open tray top, and 6 wheels, taller in middle for pivot, super heavy duty), my SAE tools sit in an old Craftsman tool box that gets avoided like the plague. My Park tools are all in the Park Tool box that came with the AK-37 kit.
 
I like tools!They make me $!
Is this just bicycle tools or just tools in general? But my favorite tool of all didn't cost a dime!
