I placed my order a few weeks back for the CS TCA-F style. :tup:

No one seems to like the N1 style. I saw one years ago before in person, and I prefer it to the F style. The blue tint is nice, too.

My tools consist of a basic ratchet set with a random assortment of fittings and my first power drill lol. I really want to buy this porter cable 4 gallon shopvac I saw at Costco lol

Basics to keep on hand? Hmmmm, All of them :tup:

A good set of screw drivers that you dont use as prybars or punches. A good pry bar set, Torque wrench, combination wrench sets are nice, imperial and metric. Impact is always handy for stubborn items that you want to conform to your will.

Madwi makes great points. But if you're not ready to throw down the cash on Snap-On and such, consider tools from places like Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. They certainly aren't the best tools, but for the price the quality is quite good. I started with that stuff and have been gradually replacing the tools I use most with higher quality stuff either purchasing myself or asking for tools or gift cards for bday/xmas gifts.

Shopvacs are handy, and you don't need to spend a lot on one. I think I paid $30 on sale for a cheap one at Lowe's and it's still running like a champ 8 years later :twocents:

I got the chance to check out both in Pomona and I like the short version a bit better. I am not a fan of the lock nut on the top, although it might be handy to have.

Other items (not hand tools) like my router or cordless drills are Bosch and dewalt. Take a look at the projects you do the most and see what is out there. Easy to replace, lifetime warranty hand tools is great too, if it doesnt take 3 years to get your new one back from China slow boat.

You say you like the short version better? That's the N1 style (bottom in the photo). And you're not a fan of the lock nut at the top? That's the F style that you ordered (top in the photo).

Those are exactly the reasons I want the N1 style - I like the shorter version and I don't like the nut or bolt or whatever on top of the F style.

Just looked at their website and you are correct. It is the F style that is the shorter version and no locking on top. Sorry for the scare :icon17:
