Hey Veeky Forums, what are the basic tools for everyday wrenching one needs?
>jack(should come with your car)
>axle stands/ramps
>one of pic related(or an actual box that goes bigger than 13mm)
>big ass spanners for shitty bolts that won't budge
>screwdrivers and allens, torx bits
>extra screws, nuts and bolts because you will eventually lose some
I decided to get into it because autonigger can't even change oil without fucking up something as simple as putting new o rings or something

A spare car. So you can go buy tools when you need them.
>being this rich
Then again I might just buy one for 500 shekels for that purpose(and don't insure/register because it will just sit on the driveway)
all i got right now is a socket set going up to 14mm, a relatievly long plier, and this neato allen key set I used to wrench guns with, highly recommend it. pic related.
Needle nose pliers
Adjustable wrench
Battery jump starter/leads
A breaker bar
Jerry can/nozzle
Car cover/garage
Torque wrench with adjustable Nm.
Lighting
Open head spanners
Closed but offset spanners
Wire cutters
Ammeter. (or whatever they're called)
Wd40
Broker catalyst (great stuff)
All of these are great choices but the most important to me would be the breaker bar/socket set with a few spanners around 13mm. Also an adaptor if you need one for the breaker bar and socket set. Also get an wextandable tyre iron. Nothing is stuck you just need more leverage.
You're a tard if you consider using a scissor jack to work on a car. Buy a real floor jack.
This. A decent floor jack (preferably low profile if you work on cars) and 4 jack stands is very important. Ramps are not worth anything unless all your doing is changing oil. Hell even a shitty 50 dollar walmart jack is better than a scissor jack but you really need jack stands because never trust a jack with your life.
Also most floor jacks have a handle that's removable that can be used to slip over your breaker bar to get some extra torque.
Also buy the Haynes or Chilton manual for your car if it's available.
