Buy a basic set of tools. Then, when you get stuck working on you Evo, stop, clean up, go to the store and buy the tool you need to continue. That way you don't end up with a lot of tools you will never use.

 

Air compressor & electric impacts 3/8 & 1/4 drives, plus what everybody else said.

 

That's exactly what I do, my toolbox gets a little bigger each time I work on my car. My last purchase was a 150A mig welder, that wasn't for the evo though.

To start with though:

Lucky for me i work in a huge shop, ive been buying tools for the past 13 years :0
Ive aquired some very nice stuff AND snap-on credit LOL

Snap on gives credit to anyone! When i started i was 17 and they gave me 10k in credit no interest, just the high snap on prices lol.

I cant tell you what ive paid for my snap on tools and box, BUT ill say this it gets replaced The day it breaks and all tools have a lifetime warrenty. Plus i love My toco Wagon.

 

Some of my best tools finds came from when I bicycled to work. I was continually finding tools in the street gutter. I never had the money to buy Snap-on on a regular basis but they were my favorite finds.

 

Allen head set, air compressor, cross ('X') bar, extra quart of oil, low profile ramps, rags, flash light, jumper cables all packed in my RALLIART bag & stays strapped in my trunk.

 

I love snap on, but because of the price I'm very picky about what I get from them. Electric tools, air guns, ratchets, and impact sockets. Craftsman for everything else. Craftsman professional is pretty high quality stuff

Craftsman is made in the us, snap ons cheaper brand blue point is not

 

And a 26mm, 24mm and don't forget the breaker bar, and torque wrench.

Best tool is a good buddy and a six pack

 

That six pack doesn't stick around as long as the good buddy

 

WAIT! I think we need to see pictures of all tools that were made, that were not intended for what they are used for now.
