The right tool for the job really helps. As with many jobs however I only do them once in a blue moon. The tools here are cheap enough to make it worth while to buy it.
My friends and I have a joke, everything sold here eventually becomes a hammer. It is true just about everything is made in chine and may not last more than a few uses, but often that is enough.
If you see a coupon price in a mailer be sure to bring it with you as the in store ads do not have the coupons.
Typically I avoid the power tools and stick to the hand tools, jack stands and miscellaneous items.
If you need a tool, and rather save some cash instead of handing it down to your kids check out Harbor Freight.
