Re: Just getting started
I would reccomend you get your tools at Sears. They don't nescessarily have to be Craftsman brand but if you get the cheap stuff from Autozone, advance auto, etc - you will end up replacing it and it will cost.
I've been working on my cars and my friends cars in driveways, garages, parking lots, and anywhere else you can imagine sorting out all their small problems or helping them with upgrades. I also worked at Sears for awhile, so I know a bit about their return policies.
I started out with a $30 120 piece socket and ratchet set. Didn't have everything but it had enough, and I still use it. I also bought a jack and jackstands from AutoZone and those haven't let me down yet. I think the day I ran out and bought all of that stuff I ended up spending maybe $100? I also picked up a few smaller items and a torque wrench from Advance Auto (bad idea).
Anyways back on topic, buy good sockets and ratchets atleast. It's so incredibly easy to break Autozone sockets, you wouldn't believe it. Especially in the cold.
I'd also reccomend looking into a tool box, possibly one that locks so that you can keep your tools in order and secure...it will save you money if you don't have to run out and buy a week's supply of 10mm sockets.
