But overall I've never wasted money on tools I bought ahead of the time.Īlso you have to take into consideration the aggravation of not having the right tool when you need it. I do have a few tools that I only used once or probably even a few I've never used. I bought a lot of quality tools used for a good deal that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to or would have had to settle for the HF version. I was able to take my time and search out used tools or deals on tools online.

I did something like this a few years back and started buying specialty tools that I would eventually need. Where if I buy a tool here and there I can search out the best quality and best price since I don't need it right away. I don't make a habit of shopping at HF but if I am doing a repair and run into a situation that I need a specialty tool usually HF is my only option. But if something breaks and you need to fix it right away you have to shop local and take what you can get which at least around me means IF you can find a specialty tool that you need it most likely won't be a quality one and you will end up paying as much as you would for the quality one online. Amazon and other online retailers are your good friend. Right there is the problem of waiting until you need something to buy it. Months ago I was replacing the AC Clutch on a car, needed a few special tools I got as rentals from AutoZone, also needed a decent set of 3 jaw pullers, picked them up from Harbor Freight for like $30 or so? All I need for pullers, work great. I inherited my grandpas tools which is awesome, a few snap-on chests, etc, ALL standard, almost no metric at all haha, so they are great but not much help although I DO Love the air guns and hammers/chisels/etc he had amassed.

I have a $30 bluetooth OBDII reader and an app on my phone for reading codes. If I need a pricey special tool I rent it from autozone. With that small kit, some c-clamps, jack, stands, I can do most work on the cars. When I was about 18 or so my dad got me a 200+ piece craftsman mechanic set, in the blow molded case, nothing fancy, that I still use to this day most of the time because it is my most complete set of metric stuff and the wife and my cars are japanese or german. I am actually the first male in my family to not work in the auto industry (my mom even works for GM) Right, my grandpa was a general mechanic and my dad a retired auto worker so I learned a lot about turning wrenches growing up. Not criticizing just trying to save you money. But only two were automotive related uses. I have atleast 100 and I can tell you every size i've used. Go to Lowe's buy Irwin metric and standard thread gauges $4 a piece. Don't buy a flaring tool set until it is needed either. Do you have a need for an oil sending unit socket in the near future? Wait until you need specialty wrenches to buy them. Wait until you need the damages fastener tool set to buy it. What hoses are you cutting that a knife won't work? If knife doesn't then tin snips should.

Why buy a cordless impact driver if you have an air one? Do you see a need for really long 90 degrees pliers? I've never even needed long pliers or 90degree ones.

Just get a normal set of double box end and double open end. Don't buy until you come across the need for them. I've never had a need for long wrenches or offset. Never liked a gearwrench because if I'm using box end it's because I need to break loose and the gears would fail in a ratcheting wrench
