I have a reasonable collection of basic hand tools for maintaining my vehicles. Most of my tools are craftsman - got me started with one of the sets with 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive ratchets with pretty complete socket set.

Well, I suppose I started out backwards by posting my garage plan before actually introducing myself. First off, What an amazing forum! Just reading for the last few months has given me a ton of great ideas! While I am currently garageless, I am hoping to change that in the next few months. By...
