    You gave reasonable advice, but I lean more towards skipping the intermediate step and starting with the premium tools. The best tools will significantly out perform the intermediate tools and will last a lifetime. By all means, DON'T GO INTO DEBT to purchase tools. Purchase quality used tools to economize. You younger guys are buying in a market today that offers some attractive alternatives than my age group didn't have availabile. Off shore tool brands are available that seem to copy and attempt to enhance the features the trusted major brands used to only offer, and for tempting lower cost. Individual tools or specific sets or styles from these makers can be winners, but be cautious that service after the sale is less standardized and reliable than established major brands. Your comments are directed to the entry auto tech, and most of the UA-cam tool comparisons that I see share that focus. Many of your recommendations are auto tech specific. Your recommendations are valid with your specific focus. My entire career was maintenance, starting commercial about 10 years, then moving industrial for 35. My skill set demands covered many trades, but tool requirements parallel auto techs. My recommendations are to skip the HF intermediate step and purchase the Snap-On wrenches, ratchets and sockets ASAP. Purchase Knipex pliers and Klein pliers. Klein is a premium plier for an affordable price. Knipex is simply hard to beat, is more affordable than Snap-On, and usually more ergonomic. Avoid fat comfort grip and insulated pliers. Go for the thin plastic grips like most of the Knipex and Klein. Look hard at PROTO pry bars with line up pin on the handle end to economize rather than buying hard handle pry bars. You get a dual function tool, requires less tool drawer space than the dark handles, and they are very fine tools. Mayhew is a better mid grade pry bar. Save your pennies and step up to Snap-On hard handles when time for the pry bar upgrade. Skip the alternative DMM and purchase Fluke, but do your research and only pay for the features that match your needs and your competence. Fluke has a dizzying array of options, but all will come with premium leads and accessories. There are lots of fine hammer options, but steer clear of HF. The major auto tool brands probably outsource or rebrand their hammers. Estwing, Vaughn and Trusty Cook are major hammer brands that can save some initial cash. Snap-On has their own brand and style of deadblow hammers. I own at least 15 from this series. Every one out performs the competition for function and weight to size ratio. They are costly, but study their options carefully and select styles that match your work demands. Wooden handled hammers are notorious for the head loosening, so I favor other handle options. Auto techs don't swing a hammer enough to warrant wooden handle elbow injury prevention. In general, tools should be strong, slender, sleek and long for leverage and clearance and ergonomics. Snap-On makes the best screw drivers. The tips are machined to fit fasteners and resist wear. Klein is my second choice. They are designed for the electrical industry. They are less rugged than Snap-On, but are much more affordable. Their rubber over plastic handles aren't ideal for oily mechanic work, but they are a quality tool at a moderate cost. Buy complete sets with no misses. I favor two sets of combination wrenches over box and end wrenches. Buy long wrenches like the standard Snap-On wrench size. Most other makers shorten their standard sets sacrificing leverage and purchase.

      @@patrioticimmigrant8817 Almost none of the Icon brand hand tools are made in mainland China. Try again. And they definitely do some of their own R&D at their California headquarters, I'm not going to pretend it's some gobsmacked amount. But there's former Snap-On employees they've hired for designing toolboxes and it's literally all out there on LinkedIn..... Will Sharp: worked at SnapOn for almost 5 years and was a Sr Design and Project Engineer. Has been with Harbor Freight since 2017 and he's a Sr. Director - Engineering & Product Development in Calabasas, CA. They've iterated on other peoples (great) ideas and managed to even improve them on occasion as well. (ex: Badland jack vs Pro Eagle- Badland has better features out of the box and it wasn't because some Chinese slave at the factories, where Pro Eagle and SnapOn also have their floor jacks made, came up with the idea to put a latch on the handle to lock it into position and make it 10x easier to maneuver than the OG Pro Eagle, somebody over at HF HQ came up with that one and now the CAT brand licensed jacks are copying it because it's a genuinely great idea for the associated product) On that same jack they skirted around copying their extension pin design as it's prone to damage, they added side handles to make it easier to carry, and put sealed bearings on the wheels as moisture ingress and shielded bearings on the Pro Eagle = no bueno, especially when this jack is meant to work in the mud. Hope you don't buy Milwaukee otherwise you're arguably an even bigger hypocrite. Not even U.S. owned, verified to have had Milwaukee branded products made by slave labor.

Just because it's not from Harbor Freight doesn't magically absolve you of all your hypocrisies and give you the right to pretend you're sanctimonious on....UA-cam.... And HF definitely has some level of R&D considering there's social networking/jobs websites (that UA-cam will probably censor if I mention them explicitly) with hiring histories showing HF has picked up talent from SO, pretty sure the one profile I'm looking at is the guy who helped design their toolboxes, not at all hard to find via google. There's a former Sr. Design and Project Engineers from SO that are now a Sr Director of Product development at the Calabasas HQ. I don't think they do gobsmacked levels of RND, but to claim they do none is just so easily verified as false for those of us who like to argue with facts and not feelings. And which of these socket sets in question were made by slave labor again? Almost no Icon hand tool products are even made in China and the implicit suggestion of slave labor is always coming from people who think it's a Chinese made product. There might even be more Icon MiUSA products than Made in China COO even...

      Harbor freight has some great tools!! Obviously you can't get everything you need there and there's nothing wrong with buying some brand name tools, but just be smart about it. You don't need snap on everything to be a good mechanic. I love me some Japanese, German, and usa made tools, but you don't need them to do a good job.

    I was a BMW technician and I didn’t see my self spending half of my income in tools. Im glad i went to work for an energy company back 15 years ago. My ex-colleagues are still struggling and not because of mismanagement but because cost of living and cost of tools/equipment.

      Some of us have a passion for what we do and tools are a reward for learning. The tool kit reflects the skill set for most of us who have been at it for a while. There’s a level of pride and satisfaction in my tools.

      While I agree with your point on spending a bunch of money on tools, I have been working with the same dealer for 3 years and I haven't spent anywhere near half my income on tools. The tools are an investment and if you invest in yourself, you'll make more money in the long run.

      @@John_Rod I agree with you tools are an investment and that’s why I still have my $45 thousand worth of SnapOn hand tools. Now, in my case, I let my company spend that money in German made tools. From a flashlight to a tool box, (Wera, Stahlwille)is provided to me at zero cost. I wish the auto industry was like that.
