WTB: Tools!

I used to laught at the guys at the dealership that laughed at me for having a small stackable craftsman box with mostly craftsman tools, but I did buy some snap on stuff here and there because of the convenience of the tool pushers, but I would much rather pay 300-600 bucks for a craftsman toolbox that would last me just as long as a 40,ooo dollar snap on box.

Craftsman wrenches are fine, but you may graduate to some flex head ratcheting gear wrenches for ease of use.
remember craftsman will replace any broken hand tool or socket for free but the initial price of a craftsman socket may be a couple bucks compared to snap on's 30-40 bucks per socket.

I bought a nice set of cheap sunnex deep impact sockets metric and standard for around $80.oo, and I have never broken one of them in the last 15 years.
No need to go tool crazy right off the bat.
You can get a craftsman basic set from their catalog relatively inexpensive, but they have many different package deal options, but you will be collecting more and more tools as the years go by.
The biggest thing is not losing them.

One big purchase is an good air compressor.

The bigger the better.

I bought an electric stand up compressor from sears for the garage and it's a 35 gallon compressor that maxes out at 135 PSI, but it fizzles out way too quick and I can't run my power tools very well with it as they bog down real fast and the compressor is constantly running.
I need a good dual piston, belt driven compressor to run my power tools to their full potential.
