Tools on the bus

Every tool on the bus is kitted for transport, its bits are marked as part of a set, and its documentation resolves to a real model number with a manufacturer manual or datasheet — or it is honestly listed below as not-yet-resolved. Photos and per-tool pages are coming as the inventory pipeline lands.
