So.. all this for about $200, if you look at the ads for sale you can get all these for much less than $200 This is for the beginning wrencher but you can do pretty much any work needed to be done on your G from oil changes to engine swaps (with exception of a engine crane)

and for some ppl that like to spend $ on named brand stuff, dont listen.. i've been using HF tools for 10 years, they have all done well, swapped +7 motors, bunch of clutches, rebuilt autotranny and etc.

have had only one wrench break and they replaced it under lifetime warrenty. one thing for sure is that you will always loose tools and misplace them, so why not get cheap ones
