I would love one of those garage air-compressors for blowing up my tyres. And a heater.

Curiously, my Workshop is only open when my wife is out. To be fair it is the Kitchen and she would go NUTS

Tools.

Workmate with an old kona frame clamped in it (Wheel Truing Stand)
Spoke spanner
allen keys
Old chain/ Mahoosive grips/ Casette tool
Cutty things and hitty things
Stuff for tyres and the like

(a mate's torque wrench. Must give it back)

My most fun tool is a bench grinder, as I am now banned from the chainsaw 😥

Cutty things and hitty things

I have always liked organising tools by function like this. although pretty much anything can be classed as a hitty thing. 🙂

Very low shelves and a blonde assistant in a mini skirt to pass you things from them. We've been asking for this system for years, but the boss won't let us have it.
