Call All Technicians

Alright guys i start my new job as a GM Tech next month back home! I just finished up 2 years at NEIT and am excited to start my journey on this new road.

One thing though, I need to order tools to keep at the dealership. Through the school I have a $5K limit and can be paid off over 2 years and everything is 50% off! So that means I have the option to order $10K worth of tools (with tax) at the cost of $5K and can pay it. off over 2 years.

My wuestions for any other techs on here, what set would you suggest I buy for an entry level position that contain almost everything I need???

Ordering these on Thursday! EXCITED!!!

These are all Snap On tools btw sorry I forgot too include that, just so amped lol

Wait to see what you will need at your job. Just get basics for now

Who ever will train you at th e job will let you know and experience ov3rtime.

Everything.
In fact, two of everything.

Get 200 10mm, 12mm, and 13mm sockets.

Because fuck brakes.

...

Cause people will steal?

Buy a 1/4" and 1/2" ratchet with the most teeth they offer, 1/2" torque wrench (hah, like auto techs would really ever use a torque wrench!), and get everything else at Harbor Freight.

Maybe SnapOn for channel locks, too, although I'm a huge fan of Channellock brand channel locks. Oh, and does SnapOn have a decent strap wrench? Does such a thing exist?
