![]() Second, I'd say good tools, both standard (SAE) and metric. Granted, most of the stuff these days have metric fasteners, but every so often, you find a SAE fastener. Harbor Freight does NOT qualify as good tools. Normally, I'd say Craftsman as first choice, but since Sears sold the brand to Black & Decker, I'd wait and see what their warranty service is going to be. Most of my tools are now Snap-on, but I still have some Craftsman stuff floating in the box. The important thing is lifetime replacement warranty, you will break sockets over time. ![]() Third, air compressor and air tools. Campbell Hausfeld makes some good stuff, just remember to buy air tool oil and put a couple of drops in the air inlet before you use the tool, it will contribute to longer life. Again, all of my air tools are Snap-on, only because they can be rebuilt for a small fee, most were so old I got new ones for 0 dollars. ![]() Good tools aren't cheap, buy what you need as you need them is the best route (see first step..... ![]() Hope this helps.
