if its the way it was when i went there, you pick from packages, its not just a 1000 bucks to snap on for whatever. my suggestion is the 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch blue point impacts and sockets. sockets are top notch, the 3/8 still gets used daily, the 1/2 broke and my dealer trade me the broken...

Re: auto techs: how long before you where set with tools?
im mostly set with wrenches, screwdrivers and the like, now its diagnostic tools, which cost an arm and a leg. compression testers, good scanners, power probes and such. oh yea, and i need a bigger box soon, and thats some serious cash...
im a just over a year into being a tech after a year as a tire guy, and i feel sometimes that no matter how much money i spend on tools, i always need more (and yes, this forum doesnt help a bit). my basic question is how long did it take you guys (and gals) to be "set" with tools, basicly to...

well that fixes the height problem. now you just need the hutch.
hondas are addicting, but im contemplating buying a miata or 240, got an itch to drift.

its not this country or its people that make people like me sick, its the people that rule over us like its some game. while i hate our government in its current form, i still buy u.s. made tools proudly knowing im keeping decent paying jobs here and not supporting sweatshops in china. is the...
