I have a 1994 Chevy Camaro V6 3.4L Car. I dont really have any tools at all because I am fifteen and my dad doesnt like me messing with his tools. I need Jack stands that are reliable because I need to change the transmission mount and then Im not sure what other tools a person needs for fixing a car maybe a socket set alen wrench etc I really dont know what are the most common used tools for fixing a car and I am looking to find cheap but reliable tools because I wont be working on the car much but that occasional time when I do I would like tools. If you know of a tool kit or Jack stands along with a Jack and all of the Jack stands and Jack have to be reliable. I am looking to spend like 75 bucks for Just the tools and I will spend what Is needed for a reliable set of Jack stands and Jack. I know that seventy five bucks Isnt much but I dont have a whole lot of money to spend. Thats why Im trying to find a tool set deal. Thanks for the help. Then.

 

Try Harbor Freight. Their stuff is decent enough to get started on a budget. They have stores all over the country, and also on line. Don't expect Snap On quality, but the tools work pretty well. The also have some very good sales and coupons.

 

I will check there site out.

 

for hand tools get craftsman dont even look at the price ive had the same set of craftsman hand tools for 10+ years and if anything breaks i just go to sears and get it replaced no questions asked (about 3 weeks ago i brought back 2 3/8ths ratchets 2 1/2 ratchet a 1/2x18 inch breaker bar 6 sockets and a 8 inch 3/8ths extension over $250 worth of tools brand new replaced)

 

I dont have the money for that though.

 

+1 on the Craftsman tools. They are reliable and the lifetime warranty is hard to beat. Just carry them in to a Sears store. I used to work at Sears and I remember swapping out tools that were clearly used incorrectly and abused.

 

You don't have to buy everything at once. Just start with the basics and go from there.

 

I said earlier that Im not sure what tools are needed for working on a car but I have found a few links and I am wondering If you could share your Input on these like If the ratchets will be big enough, If there are any other tools I will probably want for working on a car, If the things I am getting will be big enough sockets for a engine etc I have little knowledge on cars and what tools are needed so help Is nice then.

36 Piece SAE/Metric Hex Key Set

105 Piece Tool Kit

25 Piece Extra Long Hex Key Set

40 Piece 3/8" and 1/4" Drive Socket Set .

 

those are some decent prices

but


you will use the 10mm a lot and you should get a set that has a 3/8 inch drive for the 10mm

 

I know that this Is a dumb question but could you maybe find me what your talking about on the site then.
