Snap-on Solus Pro — This is the most complete tool for a wide range of vehicles. It will do more than you ever expected.

Streamlight Rechargable Flashlight — I resisted for years from buying one, now I don’t know how I lived without it. It’s the perfect size for every job.

GearWrench Ratcheting Wrenches — I have probably six different sets. They allow you to work faster and more efficient, making you more money.

Mac Tools Long Reach Needle-nose Pliers Set — This set covers just about everything you would need pliers for. They have great leverage.

Snap-on MG 3/8” Drive Impact — I have done complete front-end rebuilds with just this impact. Combined with impact swivel sockets, it is irreplaceable.
