building a tool collection

[goldie lox]

if you had to do it over, list the tools would you buy in order, you can break it down into metric, sae, sockets, impact sockets also and such
3/8 sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, 1/2 sockets, hammers

something like that

all depends on what you want to work on and how much of the work you want to do'
Are you going to buy Whitworth tooling if you only work on metric stuff????

There have been times I have said if I could do it all over again I would have purchased an Allen Master Mechanic's tool set from Northern Tool for about $1700 shipped. Then I found an Armstrong Ultimate tool set at Cripe Distributing and thought it would have been an interesting way to have done things over.

Depends how much money I had to play with, and what my goals were at the time lol. If I had to start over tommorow and be back up and operating ASAP, I'd probably just order up one of the SK tool sets and call it a day.
