What tools do I need in order to DIY?

Cmike2780

The Basics for most jobs:
-Pliers (All sorts)
-Screwdriver set (Philips/flathead..etc)
-High Quality socket set (A good set will last a lifetime, so don't buy the cheap ones)
-High quality wrench set (Same deal as sockets)
-Work Light
-Panel removal tools (so you don't mess up any interior panels)
-Hydraulic Floor Jack or racing ramps if you plan on doing oil changes.
-Jack stands

Nice to have
-Power Drill/Driver and bits
-Torque wrench
-Zip Ties
-Air Tools & Air Compressor (Impact wrench, etc.)
-Soldering Tools

It really depends on the DIY job....

Oil Changes for example, I would need to have a job specific material list:
-Oil catch/container
-Socket Set
-Oil Filter Wrench
-Oil funnel
-Oil filter, Drain Plug & Oil

For more specialized jobs like the brake pads, some auto parts stores let you borrow tools for free.
