Of course, you can always just invest in a good bikini, and never have to turn a wrench again.

Snap-On, all the way. Craftsman makes some nice tools, but the slack in a good Snap-On will spoil ya. Also guaranteed for life, too. The downside is that you can't bring a Snap-On tool to Sears for an exchange.

Snap-On, FTW! Here are a few of my tools, not that any shadetree mechanic would need most of them.

Sorry, garage is a mess. In the middle of a move.

Don't forget about the fridge full of payments for friends who toss in a helping hand.

And for security...

Snap On if you can swing it... check out eBay or Craigslist for some good deals.

And start with torque wrenches: a ft/lb wrench and an in/lb wrench.

Then you're set to go!

Tennessee, your my hero.... Boss Mustang and Yuengling beer (love Yuengling but can't get it here in Indiana, every time I go back to NY, I load up on it). Soft spot in my heart for 2003/04 STV Cobra's (some day I hope to get one).

Excellent set of tools man!
