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!

I envy the Snap On tools, but they are way beyond my means. Pretty high dollar stuff, but it is fun the hang out in the Snap On truck we he comes by.
