Yeah, that $5k for tools should fit right in to the OP's budget. Hmmmmm....the $75 set or the $5k set, I just can't decide which one.

Snapon tool boxs are the biggest rip offs on the planet. Snap-on has brain washed a lot of people into believing they need a 5-7K tool box. LOL, I will agree they are one of the better boxs but they are WAY over priced. A tool box they sell for 3K costs them about $650 to make. The rest is all profit. They are marketing geniuses.
Um, research and development, advertising, sponsorships, etc...

I was directing that to the person who suggested Snap-On boxes.

Out of these Jack stands for my car which one should I buy I like the cheap one because It has more of a flat lift and the more expensive one has like a v shape lift I think It would be more safer under a flat one but Idk and also does It look like the stand part Is on the right Instead of In the middle It makes me wonder If these are sturdy to hold a car and Idk which would be better the flat of the v shape lift. The more expensive one also has higher lift but Im not sure If a flat or v shape Is better and Im not sure why It looks like the lift part Is on the right of the stand Instead of the middle.

I bought this Jack stand from fleetfarm and I think Im going to return them because they look cheap on the box and I dont really trust a company that I havent heard with my life when I could spend a couple bucks extra and get craftsman then.
