Stay away from any Aunt/Mother-given tools with Pink or Peach colored handles.
Otherwise, I find anything with a Craftsman label on it more than adequate. Especially, a good to better 3/8ths and 1/2 inch air wrench, you'll get older, someday, and will appreciate them more. And, lastly, buy 4 each of all of the common wrenches/sockets if you're like me and forgetful. grrrrr.

Indispensable: Air compressor. Without it, the following tools or tasks would be useless or much more difficult to perform:
- quickly inflate tire
- perform leak down test
- perform valve seal change with head in situ
- air chisel (have used on MANY occasions, one of the best tools bang-for-the-buck I have bought)
- impact gun
- air ratchet
- die grinder
- 90° die grinder with cutoff wheel
- sander
- media blast cabinet
- spray gun
- rain tube clearer-outer
- air blaster
- SOMEDAY will power a lift
- SOMEDAY will power a plasma cutter
I'm probably forgetting a few things, BUT you get the point. It's one of those tools you just shouldn't scrimp on. Buy the biggest baddest mofo you can possibly afford. You can almost never have enough air.

A good trick is to keep them clean and try to keep
everthing organized. That way, you know where
particular tools R, when you start a task and
load the tool tote.
