interesting - I haven’t heard of the LT tire use on trailers. Next time I need trailer tires, I’ll look into those options.
There’s apparently a Japanese version of Phillips screwdrivers? That would be handy (JIS standard)
There is a Europoean Phillips style called Pozidriv - Snap-On used to sell the drivers (back in the1980s).
Below is a link about them vs US Philips:

+1 for the hex socket set and spring compressor.
Do we have a diagnostic scanner? A cheap ELM327 would be helpful, but there are probably better options if we wanted to spend more than $30.
What about wheel alignment equipment? Not necessarily lasers/cameras, but some turn plates and straight edges/string could be awesome 
They aren’t tools, but replacements for the (trip hazard) rolled-up-corner rugs would be lovely…
We have a quicktrick alignment set (2 digital angle gauges on an arm) and some vct tile turn plates that we tried out recently, I wouldn’t recommend it if you want an accurate alignment, it works about as well as you could expect for $0

I wish I could make it to the committee meeting.
I would suggest a 3/8 and a 3/4 breaker bar.
A few more impact extensions.
A set of plastic trim and molding tool set.

I got a rusty 1/2" breaker bar with my car. It’s sitting on the free shelf if anyone wants to attempt saving it
You know, with a decent power supply (hmmm…) you could remove rust with electrolysis…
… or the sandblaster.

Or EvapoRust. Lol. Used that quite a few times. They(EvapoRust) claim that the Navy uses it to de-rust engines.
I got a very heavy box of new tools, green spraypaint, and a label maker (to replace hard to read laminated magnetic green labels with gold on black printed labels), will see if I can trick some people into helping organize the auto area tonight

@Brandon_Green I can help as long as the new member Thursday stuff doesn’t take too long.
+1 for @Shawn_R’s request for a plastic trim/moulding set!
Yeah, like naval jelly. It’s some sort of acid (phosphoric–maybe?).
So long as Zombie Defense is still a category…
I don’t like that a drawer with tools in it was labelled with this name. The snap ring pliers I needed was in that drawer, and I had to resort to a linear search to find it.
Jokes are fine for projects, not for tool chests. Please label the drawers sanely.

It’s typically been prying instruments in that drawer, thus pliers would have been misplaced. However, utility is indeed more important than inside jokes.

There goes the neighborhood.
Now we should all wander aimlessly and dull not making jokes.

Useful for bleeding brakes, draining reservoirs, etc, etc. Mine got stolen, I’ve missed it ever since.
