Don't forget the ****..when you get tired of trying!!

 

Make sure whatever wrench/socket set you get has an 15mm &17mm wrenches. Also source a 12 point 13mm socket. You'll use these a lot, and not every set has these in it.

 

If you buy your tools here go online and buy a really good First Aid Kit like a First Responder for about $150-175 you'll be needing it.

If you don't mind the tool breaking or the screwdriver chipping/twisting the bit/face the first time you use then go ahead. This stuff is JUNK!!

Let me tell you young guys something tools are considered a long term "Investment" and should be treated as such. I still have tools that I bought when I was 13 yrs old now 66. There was a reason I suggested Craftsman Tools they are cheaper for a "Lifetime Warranty" tool and good for replacement at any Sears store or catalog.

Get the basic's then add a little at a time till you finally have a set where everything you need is on hand. There are very few tools I don't have on hand for cars through trucks and Tractors. I didn't do it in a day and when you do get tools "Don't loan them out" once you do you will know why usually, they have a hard time finding there way home!

 

I thought band aids for the boo boo from tripping over something broken, the beer for the guy that feels bad for me because I am "clueless" so he fixes the Jeep and the Tylenol for the hangover because we stayiled out on the beach drinking all night

 

Wait? What?! Now I have to pack a video recorder?

 

Or just bring a magazine

 

Do they even still publish Playgirl?

 

Don't forget duck tape it's saved me a few times out on the trail with hose leaks to hood flying open

 

I'll add that 18 is one of the ones you'll need that most sets don't come with.

 

Add 32mm and 36 Mm also
