I hear it’s better to buy a set, rather than run back and forth to buy tools as needed. Also cheaper. I’m starting to do my own car repairs. I have 2 bmws, 1999 323i and a 2005 X5 3.0i. So, what’s the best deal on a tool set and box?

How about jacking equipment? My garage only fits one car, and only about 19″ of clearance around if the X5 rear is up against the garage door. I hear it’s not too safe to work in such a small garage. Any suggestions for extra safety for working in this garage? Thanks.

It seems like the cost of automotive tools has increased 50% in the past 6 months….is this just my eyes tricking me? Starter kits are now $500 as opposed to $250

Okay, i was looking to buy/invest in a good tool set. I was thinking snap on. But i could not decide if i should get the US snap on set or the metric set. I think somewhere i heard that even amercian cars are switching the the metric side. Which set should i get and why? I work on all cars… Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Acura, Mitsubishi and so on. Please give me your feedback.

I bought a pretty cheap Campbell wire welder and it seems like it’s the wrong tool for the job. Ugly, spotty, messy welds that don’t hold well. Then again, maybe I’m just a n00B. Even if it’s my low skill level, would a stick welder be better anyway?
