Tools

Ok, so my brother took his airtools, his automotive set, and jack with him to Michigan. This means I need to actually buy my own tools. I figured I'd just head down to Sears and get all the craftsman stuff, but I figured I might post here first. Any "must haves"? Anything to avoid? Thanks in advance....

Try avoiding doing the work yourself............lol In my case if I want it done right, I go to the people who can do it, its more expensive but a lot less aggravating.

Well, I need SOME tools for simple tasks like changing wheels (summer to winter tires), changing oil, etc, etc. But I may get into more serious work, I have 3 cars, it's ok if one gets messed up.

The other problem is I am buying a house now so I'm gonna be BROKE. Going to "people" is not going to be an option for oh, the next 30 years....

Goto Home Depot and get the ProLine from Husky. Awesome stuff, far better then craftsman.

I agree - And I think the stuff is on sale too!

Hand tools, wrenches, sockets, etc. only Snap On. Most expensive but the first time a Craftsman or Home Depot wrench or socket slips and you bust a m@#*& knuckle, you'll understand. MAYBE Mac on some items, but Snap On is the way to go. For air, for home use, CP (Chicago Pneumatic) seems to give the best value for the money. :Beer
