I am building my collection of tools, engine hoist etc for my new project car. I am new to this. Looking for suggestions on what to start with, good brands etc. Thanks guys!

 

Its Strap-On not Snap-On-*****.

SK and MAC make some very nice tools as well. Unless you are ging to do alot of wrenching or you have lots of money to throw around then Crapsman is probably your best bet.

 

Find old Snap on tools; yardsales, freecycle, buddies tool box

Take them to the snap on truck

Say " this ***** broke"

Leave with new tools

Works every time

 

Find out which craftsmen tools have the lifetime warranty and buy 'em.

 

normal craftsmen ---- sucks. the pro line i have heard is ok. Snap-on/mac/matco/S&K for the win. I stick to snap on hand tools and mac air tools. Even the kmart brand bench top feels and works nicer (IMO) than the basic craftsman line.

 

You MUST be retarded :1

 

Standard Crapsman wrenches and rachets suck ***** and are very uncomfortable to use. Gotta love that changing direction with a stiff breeze pos rachet.

 

Nah, just spoiled. :1
