Lightbulb RMYC's Newbie Shopping List

so alot of people want to mod their cars, install coilovers and do simple work but are affraid of buying tool because they don't have money. So i decided to make up a list of what you can buy for $200 from HarborFrieght and be able to do almost all jobs

Mechanical

1) Floor Jack (3 ton)
Normally on Sale for $50


2) Jack Stands (3 ton)
Normally on sale for under $15


3) Metric wrench set (9pc)

everyonce in a while it's 6$ but originally $10


4) Metric 1/2" drive socket set w/ breaker bar (17pc)

Original $20


5) 3/8" Ratchet
$8


6) 3/8" Drive Click Stop Torque Wrench
$15


7) 3/8" color coded socket (10pcs)
$9


8) 3/8" color coded deep socket (10pcs)
$13


9) 1/2" Electric Impact Wrench
Almost always on sale for $40 or less .165


10) 1/2" Metric Deep Wall Impact Socket Set (11pcs)
$16 but its always on sale for less


11) Screwdriver Set (13pcs)
$8


12) Goop Citrus Handcleaner (1gallon)
$10



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
