I could probably double my list if I actually went through it. And I fit everything in the following until I build my drawer system.

Craftsman ratchets have gone downhill in quality over the last 20 years. I'm rebuilding my tool collection and I'm going with Gearwrench ratchets and most likely Harbor Freight sockets (in addition to the small Craftsman kit I already have).Thanks everyone! I found that Sears sells a craftsman 151 piece kit thats all metric. Doesn't come with a case though.
A friend of mine swore by the Kobalt brand and I did like the feel of the ratchet he brought in for comparison. In tight spaces this is where its most important to have good tools, and it becomes obvious when that next tooth you really need to get the fastener out is impossible to attain! Craftsman's teeth are just too imprecise and far apart when compared to just about anything else out there at the moment. The military had a deal with Snap-On and we used their stuff, it wasn't bad, but I don't feel like it is worth what it costs. Then there's the problem of chasing down the truck when you need something.
I had a decent personal collection of MAC tools until someone decided they needed it to trade for some meth. I got some Craftsman tools as a replacement, but they are slowly being replaced since I have a growing hatred for Craftsman after owning it for a while now. Everyone, including my grandfather, used to go on about how it was awesome stuff. Now its scarcely better than something you would get at Harbor Freight, maybe even inferior in some instances.
I ordered a full mechanic kit in metric off of the amazon germany site. Surprise! My prime membership got me free shipping of a full german metric kit to the US!
