You probably won't find all these in one set, you'll have to get them à la carte.

If we all do this right this might be a nice Sticky.
Assuming you already have a basic set of mechanics tools, I would add the following: Torx screw driver set Torx bit socket set (internal and external) 17mm extended socket (for the lug nuts...I wrapped tape on the outside of the socket to prevent scratching the wheel) 5/8' swivel spark plug socket Fastener and Molding Remover set Power bleeder brake system Low rise ramps and jack stands |

I agree that you cannot buy a kit that does everything. I started with one 4 drawer tool box with a handle. Then came the 4 drawer roller cabinet. Then a middle box. Then a second roller cabinet, then a middle and top box for it. Now I have three 42 inch roller cabinets and a lift.
You don't need the best and fanciest tools unless you are a professional mechanic. They are nice to have, but expensive. HF, Craftsman, Lowes Kobalt are all OK. One problem with the all in one socket kits is they have a lot of SAE sockets you probably will not use on your car because it has metric nuts and bolts. |

Sounds like I'm better off just buying the tools needed individually to perform these maintenances.
But yeah I totally agree, this could be a nice sticky. |
