You should definitely put a good pair of reading glasses in your kit!

I gave up, i swear living my house is like living with the CIA they deny all responsability and participation!
When i ask where tools have gone? my boy and partner claim they know nothing about it?

You've got the start of a nice little tool kit there, but I wouldn't worry too much about adding to it at the moment - see how you get on and add to it as you find you need tools for specific jobs.
BTW, is your car European or Japanese - European tend to use even numbered sizes for the hex heads on the nuts and bolts, Japanese tend to use odd numbered.

What I do recommend, though, is avoiding budget tools - cheap spanners will spread, slip/round off hex's and when they do slip you'll end up with damaged hands. Cheap screwdrivers will damage screw heads, twist and bend and when they slip, can put nasty holes in things and hands!
Once the fasteners are damaged, it can be a real pig remedying the situation and blood can leave stains.

Just as well. They might think you'd go looking for a copper.

an absolute must for any mechanical work. seized bolts on cars are easy peasy with these suckers, got me out of a few scrapes.

[CymnMaync]

I got some suggestions

Clamps - And by that I mean C-clamps or other means of securing work.

Punch and chisel set - you could include a center punch in this as well.

Shears/tin snips - kinda optional, but handy if you need to cut through something tough.

Robo grips - I've come to really love my set, very versatile.

LoL no, never!

Seriously though its stuff like my boy wanted me to sort the breaks on his bike do i find said socket set in tool box? Yes!
Do i find damn sockets in the socket case? Like hell!

Seems some one loves a mastic gun in my house as every six months i have to buy another.

My favorite tool
Vice Grips

[Agedprepdoock]

Gota have lots of pliers! [thumbup]



Favorite must have tool has got to be the Knipex pliers wrench in red. Not a cheap tool but it's so much better than a crescent wrench for grab and go jobs.

Some other nice stuff to have...

Finger driver (has a screw bit end and 1/4" drive end),
Good ratcheting screwdriver
Torque wrench
Angled head wrenches
Ratcheting wrenches (kinda overboard for light use but nice)
Hemostats (great for holding tiny screws and such without damaging threads)
Diagonal cutters
Vice grips
Valve grinding compound (best tool for getting out nasty fasteners)
Weighted hammer
Digital multimeter
