tools...which ones?

VSR13 · November 7th, 2007, 03:41 PM

well my parents just got divorced recently so my dad took his tools...i'm looking to start building my own tool collection so i can work on my car. what are some tools that ya'll use?... aside from the basics

AtlanticBlue99 · November 7th, 2007, 03:48 PM

get an impact gun and socket kit. makes a lot of things go quicker. and other tools - well, as the job comes up, new tools may be needed.

what kind of work do you plan on doing?

VSR13 · November 7th, 2007, 03:56 PM

i plan on replacing the headers, new suspension...basically just looking for things to make installs a lil easier.

so wat you think of
-air tool set
-air compressor (obviously)
-jack and jack stands
-basic tool set...dirll, bits, sockets (deep also)
-i'm thinking of a cherry picker for when i install the s/c in spring
-rolling chair and board(so i can work under the car)

that's all i got so far

you can start off with some cheap tools ... do you have a Harbour Freight near you? then replace with quality tools as they break and you have more $$$$$
