EJ25subie05 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 blue point 100 piece general service set. I've owned this set for years. it has been in my car on long trips torn many projects and rebuilt many a things and more. only thing it lacks is a deep socket set. this is just a nice handy set. i have 100's of other tools because i work in a shop but this set is just convenient and awesome for the price (never broke any of the pieces yet) just a reference for ya. you can buy them used all over the internet from what I've seen http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?item_ID=644870&group_ID=682199 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris GTO TT Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 i have the older version of the 220 piece set and love it. It's all 6point which is great! 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan1509 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 That 220 looks light on wrenches.. priorities in my opinion are ratchets, sockets, and wrenches. Got to read the details, some of these "# piece" kits count like a ton of little screwdriver bits... not a huge help when working on your car.

Max Capacity Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hands down the Sears set is hard to beat. The life time warranty at any sears store or number of other stores that now sell craftsman tools is worth more then it weight in gold. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ25subie05 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 if you don't want to spend the dough on name brand tools, kobalt from lowes is dirt cheap. 20$ for a deep socket set, then you can get short, long, 3/8, 1/4 drive etc. i am pretty happy with there tools and especially for the price. try them out, maybe lowes will have a sale (ill have to see if they got anything i like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlBlueGT Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'd go with 115 Craftsman set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugeye2GT Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Can't go wrong with craftsman. I use craftsman sockets and wrenches all day, everyday. For basic tools like sockets and wrenches craftsman works fine, no need for anything fancy. Especially if you're only going to be using them once in awhile. They also honor their warranty no questions asked. On the rare occasion I've had to warranty a tool I just handed it to the sears employee and they handed me a new one .
