Not once have I used vacuum to bleed power steering system,in training they showed me a contraption but the instructor also agreed its useless.plus most new fords have electic power steering.but vacuum for coolant on most new cars is a necessity!
Moving along.
Op. What's your plan, what school did you go to? Have you spoken to your new employer on what your position will be? Are you going to have any certs?i say stop by the dealer and check out what the other techs who have the position you will get and see what they work with.or figure out your position and come back here.
I went to uti, went through ford fact.i had a job two weeks before I graduated.i started on a matco starter set it was cheaper like 1100,but I paid for it over time because everything sucked.another guy that started with started with the set you posted and he still had to buy more.i thought I was going to start as a porter/ lube tech,nope I got thrown under diesels.
So I had to buy so many more tools to work on diesels,I'm still buying tools.its a non stop cycle,a expensive non stop cycle.if I could do it again I would of bought cheap first, I love snap on but it gets stupid expensive.most people will say don't do credit,but for you may not have the money and it may be your only choice.
So if you go through what I went, you won't need sae.i have a bit but they barely get touched.i would advise a good cart and a small box like I did over a huge pretty box.i would also suggest impact gun, quick disconnect set,1/4 swivle socket set,spark plug socket set to start with.theres othere repeat repairs you will need special sockets and tools I can go into but don't want to waste your money if you don't end up with that.
Good luck, hope you are ready for this.
