What to take to Hangar?
So what did you need at the hangar that you did not have in the shop at home, I can already see myself making that 30 min drive and forgot something. Did you move all your construction tools, band saw drill press ect? looks like I am going to need a small air compressor and hand tools at least? going from a well equipped, bright lighting, warm, carpeted home garage-shop to a dark cold metal can with one outlet.....

Doesn't matter what you bring, you will still forget lots of stuff (at least that was my experience) and not realize it until the most inconvenient time....
Hand tools, riveting tools, fiberglass tools, compressor, chargers for your drills, lawn chair (that is important), power bar and extension cord, work lights, etc

If you need a band saw and/or drill press at the hangar, you moved prematurely. Pretty much everything else, you will need.
Rule #1 is, don't move to the hangar until you can't do anything else at home. And, you WILL forget something. Ref.; Murphy's Law!

My airplane is too big to build at home, so the hangar IS the workshop. Still, I end up ferrying a huge amount of "stuff" back and forth between home and hangar, and I always forget something. It's a fact of life.
Never forget that somebody at the airport likely has the tool or part you need. I keep a little "lending note" on a blackboard in my hangar so I can keep track of all the bits and pieces that have been loaned to others. More than once they have bailed me out, too.

I just completed some upgrades to the 6. I also had just moved all of my tools to my storage hangar 2 miles away where I will be setting up a more formal shop than at the home hangar. I probably made a dozen trips to get tools I needed back from the other hangar. I just cleaned up and moved them all back. It took all of the space in my long bed Chevy truck. I was shocked at how many tools you need to do some simple work.
Take ALL of your tools, except as Mel says, your big power stuff that you hopefully are far enough along that you won't need.

I moved everything to the hangar (45 min away) but the large bench/floor mounted tools (bench grinder, drill press, etc) and a small batch of clecos and clamps with a set of cleco pliers. In the few instances where I needed to take something home from the hangar to work on, I took appropriate hand tools with me. You WILL need a compressor at the hangar, and a compressor at home is, of course, always useful. I bought a second one for the hangar.
MUrphy's Law for Hangar People: "Most hangar work sessions and/or all home repair projects will find a need for a tool resident at the other location." You can take that to the bank.
