If you were starting out on basic car maintenance, what tools would you buy first?
Which tools would you economise on (i.e. boot sale purchase) and which would you go for top quality on?
I'm starting more or less from scratch, although I have the usual DIY tools for house and smallholding. I want to be able to fix simple things, carry out routine basic service items, that sort of thing. I doubt I'll be removing engines for a while yet :-) I don't have a fortune to spend nor a massive workshop in which to store things.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
