Starting from scratch

Ok, here's my take on it:



1. Good quality tool box (ball bearing drawers) or cabinets (used kitchen cabinets work very well)

2. Retractable extension cords: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...0N4&lpage=none

3. Good quality shop vac

4. 4.5" grinder

5. ball joint separator

6. Hammers (rubber, ball peen, brass, wax)

7. Cordless and Corded drill

8. Good work table w/ a bench vise

9. Dremel Tool

10. Coil spring compressors

11. Common hand tools (stay away from china stuff)

12. Ammeter/voltmeter/ohmmeter

13. Good quality work light (not halogen!)

14. Air compressor and air tools if you feel the need

15. Good 12v battery charger

16. Electric impact (for shear torque capacity)

17. GOOD JACK AND JACK STANDS! (This is a must!)

18. Lastly, I would say make sure that you have sufficient lighting in your garage. If not, it is very simple to hang your own fluorescent lights.
