How to level up my home mechanics setup

Do you plan on a part 3? With the exception of the workstand (which is slated to arrive today), I think I have all tools on both lists.

There are a few tools I think I won’t get, e. g. pressfit bb tools. That seems like a waste of money given how long bearings last. (I am on first set of BB bearings on my 3T Strada, and they still seem fine despite about 200+ hours of use per year.)

I’m on the fence as to whether or not to get either a compressor or a pump with a tank. I have a very nice Silca pump, but I cannot inflate narrower tubeless tires (I put 50 mm Continental tires on my mountain bike as that is basically a commuter). It pains me to get another pump when the other one is perfectly functional.

Probably a workbench might be a better investment than more tools?

Here’s some things I acquired over recent years that have made my garage workshop better:

*A bench vise - this has opened up a whole bunch of jobs that would otherwise be either impossible or just a faff. Servicing pedals now takes about 5 mins per pedal.
*Organised cleaning stuff - some labelled squirty bottles of water/ipa/soapy water and a wall holder for blue towel roll
*Picks - I think I got mine from the local hardware store and they’re not high quality, but they get used al the time for hooking/prodding stuff.

Picks is a good one. Can always find a job that requires using something pointy to remove a seal, pull off an o-ring, etc.

My suggestion for picks is to have two (2) sets. One metal, one nylon (non-marring). This way you’ve always got the right tool for the job. The nylon set I have came with both picks (pointy things) and spudgers (flat, like the tip of a flathead screw driver). Super useful for removing plastic inserts from bolt holes on some of my frames without having to worry about paint damage.
