Well when you're a poor fag I can't justify spending what? 1.5k on a tool box.
I eventually will but when you move 900 miles from those tools you kinda gotta get your own.
Yeah usually, and after too, I usually go after dented shit they drop the price pretty good.
I almost never let people borrow my shit unless I'm with them or trust them enough.
No but now I'm looking forward to that, they did fall off the creeper though, the jack just has a super shitty head on it.
I just want the tool chest combo that t
rolls cause then I dont have to take shit out whenever I have to move it, and the roll around workbench is a far far thought for when I get my own garage, currently in a shit appartment so Id have to keep everything in storage. The speakers just seem like a neat idea but I never actually tried to see how they play.

>$1.5k for a Snapon
You are underestimating how ridiculous their pricing is.
And seriously skip on the speakers. A decent toolbox should last you decades. No way the speakers will last that long. I just use this little bluetooth speaker and it has a battery so I can move it if I need to work somewhere else.
You have a Lowe's nearby? Just keep an eye out for the big sales. Sears has Craftsman sales a couple times a year and it's a good idea to jump on the stuff when there is a sale instead of waiting until you really need it and have to pay twice as much. Lowe's recently had some nice kits on sale, convinced some user to grab some 400pc+ Kobalt set that was on sale for $199 off of $399. It had everything, all the usual ratchets and open ended wrenches, but then it had the ratcheting box wrenches (which run ~$100 alone), a ton of extra extensions and u-joints, a breaker bar, a couple sets of hex keys (long & short, metric & SAE), and all of those torx, hex, and driver sockets that come in really useful.
New to wrenching.
Only know how to change the oil, sparkplugs, fluids etc. Have been using loaners want to have my own shit.
$100 budget, question: What basic tools are essential/brand/new or used/good box or bag to keep them in?
Thanks
I was looking for a pilot bearing puller the other day and found something I hadnt seen before.
Its a self-tapping threaded fitting with a grease nipple on the end.
You screw it into the bearing hole and use a grease gun to force grease behind the bearing and push it out.
Has anyone ever used one of these before?
That's pretty low. You have a Harbor Freight nearby? You could get cheap shit from them but some of it is garbage.
>not buying kennedy and lista
wtf
Yes I do have a HF near heare. I could go up to $250 at most - didnt know tools were so expensive.
HF would be good for some of the smaller stuff. I say grab a Husky or Craftsman kit on sale like I posted here and you will be set for sockets and they often have some screwdrivers or at least the bits. Then drop a few more bucks on a set of pliers. After that, just kinda see what you need for jobs. HF would be good for a breaker bar, C-clamp for breaks, hammer and mallet, etc.
It's a little different if you want to do carpentry stuff around home too. Those kits with all the sockets will help with cars and machinery, but I do a lot of weekend warrior projects and that's where tape measures, levels, studfinders, drills, and other power tools come in handy. So that stuff is worth having around the house. And if you don't have a cordless drill, def think about that. When you buy that Ikea TV stand held together with 5mm hex bolts, a drill can turn it from an hour long job to a 20min job.
Thanks friend!
$100 is not enough.
get a kobalt 3/8 torque wrench with a wide setting range and get a usgeneral box from HF.
sockets set, wrench set, plier set, driver set, dead blow hammer.
rest buy as you need.
