To get things done on your car - you need the tools to get the job done and not just to have them but to find them at the time.

There's are tool storage systems which can cost more than the vehicle itself! It does help speed up tackling a job since I'm not spending half my time looking through a mound of tools searching for an elusive wrench. Snap On, Craftsman, it's all good as long as you can find that tool at the time you need it. Your probably less likely to lose a tool to provided you put it back after the work. I was lucky and got a great deal on a Snap On box so I jumped on it.

Fastener work like bolts and screws need precision made tools. I really like Snap On Tools and have a quite a few but also realize that I got a budget to adhere to so for less precise work like prying and hammering I use Craftsman and other tool brands. Pliers also fall in this not so precise category in my opinion. Brands like Snap-On, Craftsman and Mac tools are very popular and great tools.

So I have about an apprentice level of tools. Not pro level by any means. I'll post a pic of my box and tools later today.
