I figured this would be an interesting & educational thread... so the question is, what are some "must-have" snowmobile specific tools/equipment (or not) to have in your shop.

I'll list a few off the top of my head:

• Primary/Secondary clutch press
• Sled lift
• Sled dollies

Include whatever you want, including brand specific tools

I have to agree on the rivet gun. I bought a Harbor Freight air riveter and It works great. Also I have several Dewalt 20 volt tools that come in real handy.
