Nice! I inspired a video!

OK, just joking, but that was great! Very informative..

If you have some time, could you please provide the Amazon links? There's literally tons of options, and I'm betting a fair number are garbage..

The Milwaukee stuff is best purchased via Home Depot in my experience, they have better pricing than amazon.

They have weekly specials with different combinations on sale but the star of the show is this exact impact

what has helped me the most is this:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Ratcheting-Screwdriver-Set-40-Piece-236360400/204364658 (specifically the torx bits) $20

something like this is actually really good imo.

Whole set, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drives and bits. also comes with the adjustable screwdriver, long sockets which are useful. I dont know if it has the torx bits tho which is every screw on our car

3/8 torque wretch 1/2 torque wretch

Jack, jack stands
Ramps

Oil extractor

Power drill is nice to have. I bought a 3 pack of inserts for sockets.

Triple squares are nice to have but only used them a little on the suspension.

I would say start small, and get tools you can also use around the house. Better to have dual use then go and buy triple squares right off the bat which use arn't going to use unless you do suspension work.

I have a mini ratchet set, similar to this, and I use it a surprising amount. When some areas can be really cramped, having a 4" ratchet can be super useful.

You should check the one I linked up top.

takes 1/4 bits and sockets
52 teeth (helps a ton when you have limited swing space)
it's offset

Honestly everyone should have one. It was perfect to pull the PUT sensor T30s off the charge pipe. Nothing else will fit up in there.

That's similar to the actual one I have (that's no longer available). It was only like $12. I love it. I'll be heartbroken when it breaks.

A big, dumb, balding, North American ape?

I may or may not resemble a big, dumb, balding, North American ape while I mumble "where's myfuckin kwyjibo?" far too often to be healthy.

Looking for a quality tap and die set. I want to cover a large range of metric and sae but down want to spend over $100. Possible?

 

[FSTSNAL]

Also a decent torque wrench.

Hard to get decent torque wrench for 100. I would say if you want to be able to do torque to yield your looking double that at least.

I bought the gear wrench set, & it’s been great. Only complaint is one of the taps got eaten by a M9x1.0 ARP nut, chromoly so use it on normal stuff & I see no issues

I was actually leaning towards that set.
Thanks for the input.
