Air compressor no doubt, it makes the impacts, air rachets, paint guns and air jack and a bunch of other stuff all work.
12ton press was a nice addition
Dewalt grinder with brush wheel
Bead Blast cabinet
Looking forward to seeing what I can do with the new MIG welder

My 60 gallon 5 hp Ingersoll Rand air compressor that I got on clearance for $250 as damaged because someone didn't realize that a 240 volt motor doesn't work on 110 volts.
Also my Snap On MTG2500 scanner. It paid for itself in the first year I had it. $45.00 everytime I plug it into someones car.
