Through experience working in smaller garages I recommend people if you wanna make money don't go working for someone in smaller garages and it's even worse if you can't stand who you work for. You got the boss around you all the time and a lotOf smaller garage don't pay very well a lot of them pay minimum wage. Also this day and age most modern vehicles are all going to electric/hybrids. for the young generation it isn't a good future for motor trade. It's getting worse and worse all this diagnostic equipment you need now and for new parts to work e. g fitting a new injector on a new Range Rover for in order it to work you need to reprogramme the part to work by using the main dealers diagnostic tool. All these diagnostic equipments cost thousands and the main dealer ones won't even sell you them so you can't do the job. It's getting worse and worse in about 30 years 40 years smaller garages will disappear.

Just to clarify on your tap/die set for holes and bolts. These are meant for cutting new thread, not for repairing stripped ones. They fine for some light duty stuff but if your're rethreading a hole on your motor the taps will cut the threads deeper than they need to be and you'll end up with a weaker connection actually. Look into actual rethreading kits, they work the same but recut threads instead of creating new ones. On a car definitely use these if you strip something on your motor that gets torqued.

Unorganized and Filled with rubbish. If I had a drawer filled of stickers I would probably toss them in the garbage and buy some specialty tools. Idk like, an engine pressure tester, bushing driver set, snap ring pliers set, ladys foot pry bar set, torx drivers. But its not mine, so I'm not complaining, I just think the title: What we use for working on cars. should be changed for: Unorganized Toolbox filled with all around tools of sorts to fix junk N' stuff.

Your comment about never having to pay for oil changes again inspired me to do a little bit of math. Obviously this is just an estimate but the average person should end up spending somewhere around 7500 USD doing oil changes in their lifetime. If you do it yourself, you'll only pay about half that, thus saving almost 4000. Suddenly, a basic tool set looks pretty damn cheap.

And as far as people asking if they should buy quality or quantity, buy tools that either have a lifetime warranty or are made by more reputable companies. Chances are that the tool will be outdated before it breaks.
Like someone else said, buy quality and buy it once. Or buy quantity and learn to put up with the headache of using shit tools.

Hey guy's I would of loved to log onto the forum and show you my tools but unfortunately they were stolen all I got left is a multimeter and a pair of pliers, devastated because not only do I use them to mod at home but at work up north in the workshop, if it was 1 or 2 sets not so hard to replace but everything is another story: (

I have a bit of everything on my took box. snap on Mac craftsmen husky etc. but most of my wrenches and socket sets are Mac some were passed down by my dad but to me they all work great the only time I broke a tool was with a craftsman removing a driveshaft bolt off a pickup truck. but like I said they all work good.

We do have MM and Inch here for sockets and wrenches (spanners) which I have never heard them called spanners befor. Yes all craftsmen tools are very easy to get here and you should be able to buy them online their.
