[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1611232, member: 8481"] I did not say to buy a tool set from Sears. I understand buying quality tools. I believe I specified Snap-on and Matco. And I was wrong on the air tools. You still need those. They supply the big boy to remove tires. Every place I have been has shop property including jacks, jack stands, grease guns, cordless drills, rivet guns, battery chargers, jump starters, bolt cutters, etc. The mechanics needs hand tools, plus a few impact wrenches. A good quality wrench set costs $300-$400. You probably need 3 or 4 sets, SAE and metric. A couple hundred for a good set of adjustable pliers. Same with screwdrivers. Add your prybars, punches, chisels, hammers, personal impact wrenches, socket sets (6 point, deep well, 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch), etc. (I know there is plenty more, I just wasn't going to list everything...Allen wrenches, Torx bits....) I know you can spend $6000 easily to stock your toolbox for tools needed to perform the job. My question was that if you already had your tools, already been working for UPS for awhile and had all the necessary tools to perform your job, what could you have spent $6000 on over 2 years that you needed to do your job and did not already have? I am not busting your chops. I was SAE certified working in a garage for 3 years. I know quality tools are expensive. If you're starting from scratch, $6000 is a good start to get stocked up. But that is a lot to spend on an already stocked tool chest. I was just curious as to what you needed to buy, besides just replacing a few wore out or broken tools. [/QUOTE]
