hey guys in the past 2 months, a lot has transpired and i have a few (one HUGE) updates for you all that have changed my direction as far as accumulation, storage, and overall direction of my tools for home and auto work 1. My wife and I closed on our first house 2/16 :D we were renting when i...

excellent ! i'm going through each tool on the list and selecting based upon what recommendations have been given and also my personal input from a bit of research of the top 2 or 3 in each category. i'm getting there :)

thanks! what do you mean by estate auctions? and the ratchets in my set are 72 teeth...that's not considered fine?

great advice guys - CL is definitely a great place to look - i'm scoping out a few impact drivers now ! :D

you're awesome thank you !!!

i should also mention that home depot, lowes, sears, harbor freight are ALL within a 5 to 15 minute drive from my house :D

Hey Guys a few things: 1. so i got the kit home and it looks nice...appears to be quality components...love the red/blue on each socket to easily distinguish metric from standard, but like you guys have said, there are a lot of seemingly useless miniature hex keys and mini wrenches that...

update fellas...that kobalt set is actually in stock locally...the lowes website was wrong go figure...i just called and they've got 2 of them for the 99 bucks...

awesome - links?

wow that's a lot of info guys - thank you! i absolutely LOVE forums b/c of this! :D unfortunately, the 99$ kobalt set is completely sold out and will most likely not be restocked so that's out...bummer b/c that looked nice and would've been a comprehensive quick and easy solution for me... ugh...

thanks andy ! maybe something like this will do the trick ? http://www.lowes.com/pd_573344-22328-86756_1z0wcfv__?productId=50200795&Ns=p_product_price|1&pl=1#img the price just dropped to 99 - that appears to be the lowest price ever on this

I'm located in southern CT and I would prefer to buy US made stuff but it's getting harder and harder to stick by that these days...I am not 100% hard nosed about it but would feel much better about supporting our local economy. I don't have anyone to impress, but I'm the type who likes to buy...

thx for the reply ! do you have any specific recommendations ? i would think the local SO set is negotiable and the CM set on eBay has an offer button...i eyed that one b/c of the round handle full polished ratchets :rocker: most of the other CM sets seem to have the other non polish style...

hey guys my name is justin, i'm 26 and have virtually no tool knowledge and very little experience... what started all of this is recently i picked up an 06 subaru wrx sti for cheap b/c of body work issues (i'm a huge car guy) i got a quote of 5.5 and 9.5 grand to fix the entire thing so i said...
