Taking tools to an event?

[daveimi]

This is a bit random, but all my tools for work fold down into a big wheelie box and a palstic crate for power tools. How many tools do you all have, and what do you decide to leave in the workshop, and what do you take with you to an event etc? I need a really diverse range of stuff as I have a classic car to keep running, servers and pc's to fix as well as household / robots to build lol.

Please give us an idea of the tools you keep with you and what you leave in the workshop, and also any reccommendations for certain tools etc you think are worth mentioning. I might even get geeky enough to post a photo of my stuff lol

I like to have my welding equipment with me.
Angle grinder and batterydrill are part of those.

The rest of the tools are covered with the silver box.
