You need one of these, folding rule and calipers. Lufkin also made a model that would read degrees on the hinge.
Zip tied to the tripod? Rube G would be proud.
You have quite an assortment of machinist tools, all well used and taken care of. I've had Mitutoyo, Brown & Sharpe and Federal indicators and calipers and always amazed a klutz like myself could measure in "tenths"!!
Years ago I had a guy working for me that had no credit. I purchased a used B & S 0.0001” indicator on eBay for him. It complicated my shop because he was always trying to zero out parts on machines that weren’t capable of that tight of a tolerance. I also made parts for a guy that wanted everything held to tenths tolerance, but had no way of actually measuring the end tolerances.
Harvey I went through twenty -five drawers trying to find a matching thread for that freaking clamp out of hundreds of bolts I found one. 1/4" to short. Thankfully it was past 5:30.
Okay, so this is your horde of corded power tools...now show us the collection of cordless power tools! If you're missing something I can't spot it.
Most of my collection of cordless is old and comatose, batteries that will no longer charge. I do have a Bosch screwdriver (my first tool with lithium batteries) that is 15 years old and will still charge though. My newest are mostly 12 V Milwaukee tools that really impress me with battery life and power.
I would guess that testosterone oriented tools were used to create all of your gender neutral tools.Finding the tools posts a bit testosteron-orientated I want to throw in a counterpoint.
So here's my collection of most important tools depending whether I'm behind the wood&steel, the lens or in front of the cooker.

Agree...I have a Milwaukee "D12 Fuel" brushless drill and amazed at its power and battery life...charge it in January and use it all year. Best cordless drill I've had.
