Re: Basic auto Mechanic tools
Being in the automotive/truck repair business for over 30 years, I have acquired over $75,000 worth of tools. I can only suggest getting the basic set of hand tools from craftsmen or harbor freight and see what you use the most. You will find that most of these tools will perform well for a DIY guy but will not hold up to everyday rigerous work out that a shop requires. Many Mechanics start out with the less expensive tools, then over time replace them with high quality Snapon, Mac tools because they perform well and don't break or wear out as easily. Yea high priced tools come at a premium, However when removing a rusted bolt with a less expensive tool and the next thing you know you're bleeding, You would be thankful if you had a quality tool that would not only remove the bolt, But no pain or band-aids either.
Start cheap....then move up to quality as needed.
