    Towing straps and lifting chain?

    As far as chain goes I prefer 3/8 heavy duty trucking chain ( i forget the grades but the good stuff). Plenty of strength many times over to pull a motor. And if your only going fifty feet with the car the chain will be fine. just have someone in the towed car to hit the brakes. If you want...

    Crescent Double X Pliers

    Ive had the crescents for a couple months now. Used them a few times for long reach in tight spaces to pick stuff up. They are awesome for that task and have decent grip and decent quality. Definately worth having around. I picked up mine at sears for 10 after some surprise points.

    Thats the stanley I was thinking about. Seems like a decent kit and so does the kobalt. A buddy of mine both that HF kit and its surprisingly decent. Maybe that with a breaker bar and torx set will put me right at 60. Just seeing if theres any other brands that people consider.or what people...

    HF Earthquake Pneumatic Impact Wrench

    he one from HF is plenty good enough for lug nuts. Wouldnt use it on critical engine parts but perfect for wheels. If your worried about inaccuracies you can get the digital gauge and compare the two.

    What are the basic must-have metal working tools for home projects?

    If your concerned about square cuts on your tubing a chop saw or horizontal band saw would be great. As far as the basics, with a welder and a grinder with grinding and cutting wheel, you can do ALOT of stuff.
