I am new to the board and here are the tools that I have, but was curious what else I need or might be lacking? I just like to work on my cars on the weekends and or when they have things that need to be done on them. I have only been working on my tool collection for a couple of years... Here is what I have so far by what was giving to me and what I have bought. I don't have what most people do, but like most people I will get more tools when my father passes on and I will get his snap on tool back and all the snappy tools, but for now I am poor and will have to live with what I have. Any advice would be nice, I also have a craftsmad aluminum 2 ton jack and 4 jack stands.
New to the board and need advice!!!

What tools you might be lacking???? I think you were just trying to show off!!! 
You definitely put me to shame, especially in the ratchet department, and I've been adding to my collection for about 10 years. The only thing left for you to do is maybe get more storage space and organize your stuff so that it will be easier to find what you need.

Pretty complete collection; showing off??
I thought the guys showing off, were the ones with the new roll aways, that cost 4000 or so that I noticed in other pictures. I am lacking a stubby ratchet and a t handle rathet snappy screwdriver... I don't have room for my little air compressor as I moved so I am lacking some things. I don't really have a lot of snappy wrenches, but I do love the crafty ratchet wrenches with the flush lever on them. I do have some hf impact sockets for my impact wrench and I gave my father my 24 inch snappy breaker bar... I just lucked out that my father gave me his old snappy box when he bought a new crafty and he had another snappy like the one he gave me. I just hate having to get the snappy stuff fixed and don't know how to go about getting the info to send them in, the idiots want me to call a local rep and I just want to send them in and get them fixed, what is so hard about that? As for ratchets, I must say the pear head 5449 I think proto prefessional, I have never ever broke one. I am surprised even with a pipe on them they never broke(1/2 inch size). Also to keep things in perspective my father also got the boxes and some tools for free when the place he was working laid him off.

If you want to unload your Snap-On stuff many people here will help you with that, just post on the classifieds section!
Where is your file, hacksaw, wire brush, sand paper, square, feeler gauge, flash light, electrical tape, center punch, dial caliper, piston ring compressor, ridge reamer, tap set, easy outs, oil can, jumper cables, hydrometer, pressure gauge, grease, never seeze, straight egde, tubing bender, flairing tool, counter sink, gasket cutter........
But if you need a screw driver, Elroy thinks you might have that covered.

Just too freaking crowded; you need a larger apartment.
I know, I joke about the tools my father will give me, but knowing my luck he will out live me. He did give two snappy ratchets a F-710A and a F-70M and they have worked fine for the 50 years that they have been used, sometimes I think the older stuff was built better. I did notice that one of those ratchets has a grease fitting in the top, is that the norm or something someone put it? It is a little ball in a brass piece and fluss on the top of the head.

That's normal; I remember Chad mentioning something about it.
That's their policy. Good luck with it.

Just send it in; it puts them on a spot when they have the tool right there in front of them and they know you payed the shipping costs to get it there. I've warranted two tools this way with great success; one was a legitimate defect and the other one I had sabotaged.
Dear Snap-on,
Please repair or replace these pliers.
Thank You and sincerely,
Joe Customer

I'd say you have an excellent assortment of tools. The question is what do you want or need to do to a car that you don't have the tool for? That should drive your purchase needs (along with storage space). A huge stroage setup is pain to move. I would hold off on that until you have a garage or alot more space.
