What would you say are the basics and I think what I picked out should work then.

 

This is exactly what you need... 7-19mm deep well sockets 3/8th inch drive a ratchet 7-19mm open end wrench (box wrenches) some good screw drivers a hammer a good set of vice grips and a pipe that fits over the ratchet that's it you could probably get all of those in craftsman for 150-200$ a great deal the warranty will pay that back over and over again

NEVER cheap out on tools crappy ratchets and sockets break and your knuckles will get the brunt of the damage then when the ratchet breaks you have to go and buy another one for 25$

 

That seems like a small amount of tools for 150 and I am Just starting out and probably wont do work on my car at all unless It needs It or I find something easy because I dont have a Job to pay for this as I am In school but I will be getting a Job. Anyway I cant see spending one hundred fifty dollars on a couple sockets and a ratchet. Idk dude. I think I should start out small but I dont want tools breaking on me and hurting myself. Although I said that I wont be working much at all on my car unless a repair comes up so I wont use these much and wont need high class tools because I cant afford them.

 

Look at sears for a 100 peice or more ratchet set. Craftsman is awesome. Not cheap quality and not high end but they replace anything that breaks. For around $100 you can get a pretty good starter set. I have a 100 peice set that I got back when I was 14-15 and that's what I've used ever since. It's a good set up and as you get older and need more tools you buy what you need.

 

Um are you basically saying all I need to repair a car Is a ratchet along with socket set then.

 

Avoid Harbor Freight. I went through two different grade slide hammers and a puller when removing my pilot bearing. The square end of a 3/8 extension broke off in a socket while unbolting my stock exhaust manifolds. I had to use a chisel to remove the socket from the bolt. The tools aren't heavy-duty enough for engine work.

You're going to need a lot more than a socket set.

 

Are you sure that these tools are low quality because Im not really sure what else to get like I said I cant really afford 150 on tools when I wont even be using them often at all because I dont work on the car much unless It needs work so Its kinda a for fun Investment but also a Investment I should make then.

 

I literally went out and bought a ratchet set, some screw drivers and adjustable wrenches once I got my car. From then on whenever you need something different that's when you get it. Little bit at a time is how you build up. I also use some of my fathers and grandfathers tools when I can't get my own, but you get the idea.

 

I've gone through many HF tools. I'd avoid buying anything unless you absolutely need it and Craftsman has yet to fail me. Quality is pretty linear with price.

 

I will buy a good ratchet set along with wrenches Is there any other basic tool I need then.
