I have four boxes...about 4 torque wrenches (2 broken)...two laydown undercar sleds....two seats....harbor freight brake tool kit...mobile canopy...three hydraulic jacks (one not that safe)...four jack stands...and tons of craftsman tools..including a Makita drill/driver(quick wheel changes)..OH..and the "persuader" the lovely pry device that helps with suspension installs.
About to buy an air compressor, air gun, hoses.
How about you?

And that's why I will buy Japanese or European for the rest of my life! HAHA
Toyota, Audi, and Triumph...all metric. CRAP! Of course if I put that Ford 302 V8 in the Triumph I'm screwed! I will need SAE. More than the 3 or 4 wrenches I have and 20 sockets in a set I have. DOH!
