Snap On FTW
thats all i use.
but if not then just get Craftsman those are reliable.

Just get a 3/8 drive with all the sockets, a 1/2 breaker bar with deep sockets and a set of wrenches from 8mm-19mm All Metric

plus a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, bit set...

you're right, every job requires different tools. I've been building my tool set for probably 8 years. Having a nice air compressor with a few good air tools makes life MUCH easier... but isn't necessary.

+1, just make sure you get good air tools, and impact sockets, i already cracked a chrome-vandium socket using the impact lol

but all i have is impact, air cutoff tool, alot of wrenchs, rachet set from walmart (craftsman), hammer, WD-40 and PB Blaster, screw drivers and other small stuff

cause the chrome ones aren't Impact Sockets...they are weaker material than the impact sockets just so ya know if you didnt already.

Heres a REALLY good write up by Jason @ corksport. I've started gathering tools based on this list

as long as you aren't doing jobs that stop you from getting to sears... impact sockets are optional.... lifetime warranty. LOL

Sales are regional FYI.

You can never have EVERYTHING you're going to need till you actually need it so it seems lol you can have a million tools and then you'll need the one you don't have.
