Tools fools
Me my dad and my grandfather used craftsman tools they use some at Sears but now they sell Them at Lowe’s and they’re guaranteed for life
You have to have a spring pickup tool. It's about 36" long, looks like a long spring with a plunger handle at one end. Push the plunger and 3 or 4 metal fingers pop out at the other end. It's indespendable for fishing out small parts (bolts, nuts, etc) that get dropped while working on an engine, bounce around and don't come out on the floor (eaten by the engine). Their only a couple of bucks and have saved my butt a million times.

How do you use to analyze cars built prior to 1996?
Hey Scotty I was a mechanic from 1964 to 1990, I had all the tools I needed until the metric system came to the USA. then I started all over again buying Metric tools now I have probably 3 of everything, I think I'll go into the used tools business ??.
Many HF tools have Lifetime Warranties. Just bring it back if it breaks and they will replace it.
