I like it...and i'm going add it to my quiver.




Question asked / # of posts...seems to be a relationship

But in defense, the question (like a lot of forum questions) can/are/will be interpreted differently than intended, but not all...don't know about this one, but i think the OP now has the info to get to "Point B"

Go to sears, home depot, Lowes. All not bad tools, buy a starter set maybe about 130.00 or so. You should get sockets 1/4" and 3/8', with extenders wenches from 5/16 to3/4 screw drivers, alen set. this should be all you need to do general maintenance.
