Air Tools

I have a new Husky 3.2 HP 60 gal. Air Compressor and wanted to know the top 5 most important air tools for body work and general work?

I plan on using the air chisel/hammer alot. Cutting spot welds and some front end work. What brand air chisel do you use?

I use both my 3/8 and 1/2 impact wrenches all the time, Right angle grinder that takes those 2 & 3 " scotch pads is something I will not do without after having one for about 3 yrs, a 3" cut off tool great on hard to get at rusty nuts, a small metal cutting saw, a 14" air board sander, random sander, feather edger(jitter bug) sander, 1/2" air drill, air chisel, 1/2" air ratchet, spray guns both reg and HVLP and on and on. I know this is more than 5, but been doing this for over 50 yrs and these are what I use all the time, as well as many electric tools that do the same thing

Thanks for the information, it looks like I need to make my list more like a top 10.
