specialized tools I have are coolant pressure tester, brake caliper tool(a must for ford mechanics on rear calipers on some ford vehicles like taurus/sable/continental), brake line flair tool, fuel filter fitting tool. torque wrenches are good...I only trust snap on for this, I have the 1/2 inch drive and trhe 3/4 in drive....and the list goes on, but as far as specialized tools, these are the most needed for me.

Yah my mechanic has 2 snap on torque wrenches 3/8 and 1/2 drive, total was like 800 bucks :blink: Freaking crazy. He said thier the best that's why they cost so much. the fuel filter fitting tool, used that before what a rig :lol:

Thanks for the advice also, much appreciated. Oh yah any companies i should stay away from and what tools i should stay away from, from the good companies like craftsman and s**t.
