There's a tentative proposal on the mailing list to get some actually good hand tools, and storage such that these don't get lost and are marked as being good. The hope is that this will encourage people to treat them with respect, and to return them to their homes properly.
One tool chest makes no sense, we have multiple kinds of tools and multiple places where such things need to be accessed. So, this page is intended to capture the broad categories we need, and the specific tools we want in those categories. Once we have a reasonable idea, we will go and buy good stuff, and the space will have decent small tools (and there will be much rejoicing)
Please either add to the existing categories, or create a new one if you think that's needed.
