My real tools are powered by a 220V 5 hp Sanborn air compressor with a 60 gallon tank..... air tools rock dudes, especally for mechanical work. Not so good for woodworking.
Air tool supply currently includes: 1/2" drive impact wrench, 3/8" drive ratchet, air chisel, air drill, couple of different grinders, the usual small stuff (air nozzle for tires, paint gun, etc.) Also have a sandblaster that'll take the crud off of anything.
My rollaway tool chest includes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" drive sockets, ratchets, breaker bars and a torque wrench and all the assorted adaptors, swivels and extensions. Combination wrenches from 1/4" to 1 1/16" although my supply of metric wrenches needs expanded.
I can tear any frickin' thing you can come up with apart and usually get it put back together again......
I would like an oxy/acetylene torch and tanks and a mig welder but those are gonna have to wait.

Mines not HD, just HD ready. But we have a nice surround sound system attached that can rock the house. My wife likes to play her Star Wars movies in the dark and really blasting the volume. It's quite the theater experience.

I have a 32" RCA (sigh) with a kickin' surround sound system:
Denon avr-3801 (7x 110)
Klipsch speakers (7 and a subwoofer)
Outlaw ICBM for Bass Management for my DVD-a's
JVC XV-FA900B 7 disc dvd player with DVD-Audio capability.
Direct tv with Dolby digital output...

I think a standard man tool is the Dewalt 18v Cordless Drill. No home should be without one.
Speaking of Dewalt, does anyone else like NASCAR?
