[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16093097, member: 166576"] Personal advice since Im in the buisiness. Look on ebay for used Snap On or Matco sets. Lots of guys getting out of the business that want to sell their tools. I could personally never part with my tools even if/when I change careers, but thats another topic entirely. At the very least a Snap-On or Matco locking flex head mid to long handle 3/8 ratchet should be the primary tool for his socket sets. Also, VERY important: DO NOT BUY 12 POINT SOCKETS. Unless you have a specific fastener type that requires a 12 point, dont buy them. They will round off 6 point nuts and bolts if you dont have a 100% fully seated socket. Ive seen plenty of new guys get themselves in a bind with their 12 point sets. I have like 3 12 point sockets and my 12 point 12mm has been used the most for my GT500 driveshaft bolts. Other than that they never really get used. Even my 12 point box wrenches only get used on light torque fasteners. If its tight I swap to my Easy Red ratcheting wrenches. Absolute life savers IMO.
