Fantastic advice, Rich.
EVERY single time a young guy asks me about being a mechanic… i say the same thing you suggested, buy expensive precision tools and cheap sockets to start off. I still work out of a second hand box and the snapon guy bugs me about it every monday but i dont care
"Get it excited." Hahahaha
I work full time and work out of my garage on the side. I work on cars 3 times a week. People tell me I should open my own real shop. Why? I fix cars and there is no overhead costs. I use ramps and jacks that's it. I work on newer BMW and am rated number 1 on next door. My main full time job is low stress since I been doing it 20 years. So I have time to work on cars and am not work out. Good video for guys wanting to get started.
i use alot of mastercraft because thats was what my dad told me to pay starting out
For what it's worth, I used to calibrate torque wrenches and tolerance is usually +/- 3% of full scale and most that I came across were pretty darn good and accurate. The main difference I saw was how easy some were to adjust and lock that calibration adjustment. Almost all dial indicating torque wrenches will need to be recalibrated if dropped.
