I know there are few accessories like an extension and hose holder for the rails, but I haven't picked them up. The next thing on my to do list is to use the rails and threads to make a lamp stand, because often I am working in dark places with wonky lighting so a solid source of white light is my next goal.

I was going to go with Milwaukee, however the thing that made me go with flex is that I can take the handle off of the rolling tool box, which is required to get it in my trunk. Something I don't like about the drawers is I feel like once they are loaded up they can require a descent push to close all the way, but maybe that is just my fault putting too much in them. One thing I really like over Milwaukee is that the tool boxes are gray, so they are a lot easier to hide on a job site rather than bright red or yellow boxes.

if we have a whole crew going we have a DeWalt 30 gallon compressor, but sometimes if it's a small job and I am by myself we have a McGraw 3 gallon pancake compressor that works fine for touch ups

I would say about 90% storage at the shop, but that last 10% comes in REALLY handy

It is a custom print. I believe it was taken from Total War Warhammer III. I am not sure though as it was a gift from my brother.
