The old mechanics I know have old worn out craftsman tool boxes, full of good quality tools, the young guys think that status is a high dollar box, unless you have the cash to spend, get a cheaper box, used is the way to go. I use dead blow hammers, they don't bounce and hit back. I also have a lot of the tools listed above and I thought I would buy what I thought I would need only to find out I needed something I didn't have, so get into the project and see what you need, find a pawn shop that has lots of used stuff, the warranty follows the tool not the owner. I have bought junk craftsman tools ant paid sears a visit and viola new tools. Start with the set you have you will be surprised at how much you can do with a few well chosen tools. I have a bunch I have bought and never used. BTW swivel sockets come in very handy.
