nice collection, i should probably start buying tools more often

any specialty commercial transport type tools i should look into?

The list is endless :rotflmao: I don't know what you already have but...

These brake spring pliers are the cat's meow http://shop.braketechtools.com/Air-Brake-Anchor-Spring-Pliers-for-ArvinMeritor-BC-100-ABASP-2008.htm
http://shop.braketechtools.com/Air-Brake-Anchor-Spring-Pliers-for-Eaton-BC-100-SSKP-2009.htm

A set of 8-point sockets through 1" if you don't already have them

Clutch adjusting tools http://www.amazon.com/OTC-7028-Clut...8-1-spell&keywords=otc+clutch+adjsuting+tools
http://www.amazon.com/OTC-5035-Truck-Clutch-Adjusment/dp/B000F5LIS8/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_img_y

Weatherhead sockets are nice but I just use crowsfoot wrenches (use them for airline fittings)

Angle wrenches

6 or 8# engineer's hammer for driving wheel seals and races

This makes adjusting clutches and checking brakes a 1 man operation http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SRF5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These you don't really need but make electrical work a lot easier http://www.ebay.com/itm/Delphi-Metr...ack-10-7414-/301248026894?hash=item4623c8190e
http://www.amazon.com/Ideal-Grip-Strip-Stripper-45-227/dp/B000GATH08

This guy is nice for checking wheel seals without pulling dust covers off to see in with a flashlight http://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-6...Arctic/dp/B00008BFS6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

If you haven't already make yourself a set of wrench cheaters too.

How do you like that 1/2 air impact? I've been kind of looking at the Proto version...

These showed up yesterday, for releasing the push-to-connect air brake fittings on trucks (They can be a real bugger after a few hundred thousand miles...)

Love its great for cab mounts and tight places! definitely not as strong as the normal impact, but does surprisingly well! I think its 200ft-lbs

I have a snub nose impact I usually use for that stuff but it'd be nice to have one even smaller at times...

OCD is a terrible thing to have isn't it? My 36" is orange and my others are black.
