What do you guys have, as a minimum, in your boxes?
standard stuff... metric and standard open/box end (ratcheting), full set (5mm to 20mm) socket set, 3 piece sets of screwdrivers... all the usual stuff.
what more? bent wrenches, engine anylizer, compression tester, brake line bleeder, fuel pressure tester, torque wrench, engine stand, hoist, there is other stuff I just cant remember now. oh yeah, OBD2 reader.

I have a full socket set, both metric and standard from 5mm or 5/32" up to 20mm or 2"
As well as a full crescent wrench set up to 3" (BMF Wrench =D)
Multiple screwdriver sets, pliars, channel locks, =P Also have an impact gun and a bunch of gauges heh.
all the basic hand tools, air tools, jacks. all the usual stuff. my tire changing machine and tire balancer are on back order (must have for racing, being able to change your own tires is a godsend)

Hammers,lots of hammer, Big ones. small ones, flat ones, round ones even ones with points. Don't forget a good pry bar, Not no oversize screwdriver either a big honken pry bar. Oh and a pair of 26 inch channel locks comes in handy also.
Oh and bricks,, I don't really work on car with bricks but I got an old fox body out back and when the stress level starts to rise I go out back and wip a couple bricks at it.

Don't forget the quick disconnect tools for disconnecting fuel lines, etc and the flare wrenches to disconnect brake line fittings, compression fittings. Longer extensions for the sockets sets and a couple breaker bars.
