I'm starting to get my tool collection up that way when i need to install something on my car or even around the house i can do it myself without having to spend money on professional installation.
So my question to you guys is what kind of tools would you guys recommend?
Keep in mind i am a noob with tools, i do have a **** load of ratchets/sockets/screwdrivers all that basic stuff. However i have no idea what i need when it comes to power tools or anything else for that matter.

Any input would be appreciated thanks.

Personally I went to Costco and got the Cresent Tool kit...has like 190 pieces...for $100 and I have been able to do everything with it. BMWs, Mercs, Toyotas, Hondas, around the house.

The only addition would be a torque wrench and a breaker bar... (I borrow from autozone for free)

Best investment I 've made!
