A good start is finding what you need to work on your particular vehicle. Some require oddball tools, some just basics. * LED headlamp * Rechargeable work light. The flex head from Harbor Freight is awesome. Buy it on sale. * Torque wrench - Might not use it a lot, but if you're pulling off...

My local MN store is almost all Craftsman now. Employee didn't deny that they're going Craftsman.

I'm sure they'll do fine. They're at Walmart, Ace, Fleet Farm, etc.

I've bought a lot of Gearwrench this year. All Taiwan made (haven't seen any China stuff yet). All top quality. All reasonably priced. I bought most via Advance Auto with 20-25% off. Great deal!

I have Streamlight brand lights, but I thought I'd pick up the "tactical" light for $10. I'm impressed! Nice little light! Nice to throw in the glove box, etc.

I just bought the 227pc set yesterday. Made in Taiwan, not China. Much better quality than the Craftsman junk they're replacing.

I picked up the Kobalt 227pc Mechanic's set yesterday. Black Friday price of $99. WOW! Nice set! I've been a lifelong Craftsman guy, and have tools dating back to the 1930's. The Craftsman ratchets have been junk for years. The teeth jump badly. I've returned a couple and the new ones...

I've got one as well, and a 3/8"...VERY nice ratchets!

I have that set. Nice score. They work perfectly, as long as you don't use them for a pry bar, which isn't their designed purpose.

Nice score! With more and more Craftsman stuff being made overseas, scores like this are awesome!
