I ussualy go with craftsman. because of the warranty. 2nd would be Kobalt (well I work for Lowes soooo) They have life time warrantis, but I think most tools now adays have a lifetime warranty. The first 2 years Kobalt wassold by Lowes they were made by Snap-on. but to cut cost they went to another supplier I'm not exactly sure who though.

I got it all now, I hope. Waiting for a another tool to come in Wednesday. Working on the four-wheeler. Trying to put in a secondary clutch spring. The primary came loose fairly easy but the secondary was a beach. Waiting for the Primary Puller to come in to pop it out. Impact is recommended for it as well.

Here's my shopping list for tax money lol.
Air Compressor
Impact
Welder

Anything else yall would recommend? Id like to get a programmer for the NR but I need tools more.

I had a husky air compressor, had to sell it for moving money...make sure you look at them.

Gonna try to find one on Craigslist. Wanting a 5 CFM but not sure about the cost. I used to use compressors for 8 hours a day, so I do know the difference between this and that. Just gonna get a cheap welder so I can re-do my exhaust and make a bumper for the ATV.

Whatever you do avoid the Campell Hausfeld welders...my father in law had a 110v wire feel welder and the wire feed motor didnt last a month...I have heard that the Northern Tool cheapo wire welders are better quality at around the same price...

This is the compressor I had...it's 4CFM

Thanks everyone. Also looking for a new tool set, ratchets, sockets, etc. Most of mine have been misplaced/stolen.

For the welder I am just getting a cheaaaap Chicago Electric. I have read and read about them over the last two months. More positives than negatives. I don't need it for anything thick. Not too concerned with splatter, I can clean it up.

I might call up my old shop teacher and see if he has any compressors he'd sell me.

IF I ever get a welder I am gonna go all out and get a Miller...thats what I use to stick weld with at my last job....repairing shopping carts...that one however was gas powered...
