I have the 18v drill also and the light along with 3 batts and two chargers (one for the shop and one on an inverter in the truck)

you deff got me beat in the number on hand, just never felt a need to keep the smaller ones, just gave my 14v drill to a buddy have had it under the bench collecting dust forever

And I agree with the torch.

Snap-On has one smaller, I've broken a few and they just keep replacing them! :D :D
A pic of my box, I was like a proud daddy when I first got it! It's a little dusty right now, until the boat gets gel, then it will get a wash and wax.
The cordless impact driver is incredible, I would have bought one, but I already own a number of 18V De Walt tools.
Most used tool......10lb sledge :D :D

i am a Snap On tool dealer. i would say that the most sold tool is the 9.6 to18 volt 3/8 and 1/2 drive impacts, handy for just about anything. there is a new 1/4 or quick release coming soon should be great for boat stuff.

In my transmission business the most used tool is a 3/8 drive matco impact and a 10 & 13 mm socket. The most USEFUL tool I have is a snapon mt2500 scanner,Smitty

Re: techs/ mechanics what is your most used tool
 
have used modus very nice really only a snap on style lap top

a cross between a lap top and a scanner, I like my rinda program better easier to use and uses a real lap top

Why in the hell does it take so long for Snap On to build a box, I ordered a new KLR 1024 with a custom lay out and it's going to be about 13 weeks till I see it.
