Any of the tool kits at your local big box home improvement store are good enough to get you started. Lowe's has a Craftsman set for $99... Harbor freight is always a good choice. You're never going to find one set that covers everything that you need. It really depends on what it is you're going to be doing. If you're replacing the suspension on full size trucks, you're going to need larger wrenches than if you're doing the brakes on your Toyota Corolla. In general, you'll want at least a 3/8 drive ratchet with standard and deep sockets in either metric or SAE, and a set of extensions. Then you want a set of combination wrenches, again in metric or SAE depending on your needs.. a set of screwdrivers, a set of pliers, a. Torque wrench, a set of hammers, and you keep adding stuff as you do jobs and realize what you don't have
