    Basic Car Tool Set for non-mechanical son

    I would say someone who it non-mechanical should not plug a tire. If he can change the flat, take it to a tire store, most will do a proper patch on the tire for around $10 to $20 bucks, much safer than someone plugging a tire who does not know how to do so.

    Compound Miter Saw Suggestions

    6pt vs 12 pt sockets

    I use 6 point unless 12 is needed, either due to: 1) something other than hex nuts 2) I need the extra index the 12 point gives (rare, especially with 5 degree or better ratchets)

    Trusty-Cook Hammers

    I agree with many others, looks like it would show dirt/grease pretty bad. I like the red & blue. Green also sounds like a good color.
