My Snap-on guy is coming to the shop tomorrow. I'm gonna be like a kid in a candy store. If you only have $500 to spend then I would go with an air ratchet and impact gun. You can save a few bucks by going with Blue Point instead of Snap-on brand also.

I just saw you already have those....I would go for this then:

We have one at the shop, comes in pretty handy.

lol my snapon 1/2 drive 3/8ths to 1 9/16ths impact socket set cost 650...


hmmm

36 inch or larger prybar (if your working in the rustbelt...it's a musthave item...)

screwdriver set

pliers (dont forget at least one long needlenose and one big sidecutter plier-mine will cut through 4 gauge easy, makes short work of cotterpins etc)

BFH

asorted 3.8 inch extensions (highly rec a 1, 4, 6 and 24inch) wobble end or not (i have a 1 inch wobble so i can turn any of mine into a wobble)

1/4 inch drive swivel sockets
get a 1/4 and 5/16ths (<same as 8mm for all intensive purposes)
and a 5.5, 7, 10 mm
i have a full set and aside from 13 and 15mm i mainly use the above sizes

and last but not least...double jointed 5/8 inch spark plug socket...(you dont really need the 13/16ths double jointed but i do use it), youll thank me on this one later when you do a tuneup on chevy vans/trucks through the wheelwell or a 3.8 F body...

one of the reasons i have all the tools i have today is that i didnt spend $ on tuition...godspeed on getting your collection together...

Seems like everyone is always looking for torque wrenchs, what about one of those?

 

[phat_ridegt]

id wait on the pliers...sears has some good stuff. start on 1/4" sockets...get a universal set, those always come in handy. maybe a nice ratchet or two...i dont buy from snap on because the guy wont stop at our shop, but the matco ratcheting wrenchs i bought (metric set) are the best 300 i ever spent. they are awesome. but whatever you decide...lock em down!

you'll need them all someday anyway.. might as well get all that you can while you're there.. pliers and driver sets look like a good start, how much more do you have saved up for tools?
whatever you do... try to find other ways of financing.... fuck 19%

 

[bigsammoe]

cash money man thats what iam about no bs thats why i droped the sallie may shiz

 

[thesexy99GT]

good, but i read the other post about buying a car and said it there too... hook yourself up with some tools for when you get out in the field while you have your discount now... even though cars are temping...very tempting
