Vise grips…needle nose pliers

Basic tools are a must. A vice is nice to have . It really depends on your skill set for repair. Where do you draw the line between what you fix and what you would rather drop off to a shop. I don’t take anything to a shop I’ve rebuilt engines in hotel room before just because it was quicker than waiting on a shop. My best advice is buy your tools at harbor freight. Good tools have no place around chlorine and water

Each truck has: Pliers and vise grips, wrenches in duplicate for hose and gun fittings, hydrant wrench, small vise, basic socket and driver set, star keys and allen wrenches, strap wrench, and a cordless driver, vacuum, and chargers.

And then they randomly accumulate stuff from the shop…I should check once and awhile

I’m mechanically inclined, Helped built race engines thru HS to a very known mustang engine builder. Just wanting to get an idea on what to have… Your right on the HF tools, Id cry if I or a helper lost me some channel locks vs some HF ones.

Wanna see a grown man cry let him see his snap on tools in the mud. . Instant heartbreak lol

I actually don’t see the value in there tools. Aside from the specialty tools they do make a tool for everything you can imagine . I miss the old craftsman good and affordable.

Snap On?

I do believe there over priced but nothing feels like a snap on… Just by holding the tool you can feel the quality… Also the fit is amazing, giving you confidance… Nothing like having a wrench go and hitting you fingers… If you live from you tools like an auto mechanic, Snap on all day! If your the occasional DIY guy, Hard to beat a Craftsman even today.

Funny you mention this, because I’m literally laying in bed thinking about using my riveting tool (not fancy as that one) for this project I’ve got
