New guy from Florida. I work on cars and remodel houses. Having to start over with my automotive tool collection. Where I live now, there's not a decent supply of quality used tools for a good price, like there is/was in California. I got burned by Craftsman back in the 1990s and early 2000s, when they discontinued a ton automotive tools that had a lifetime warranty. I had bought a lot of stuff new, but stupidity didn't keep the packages or receipts. I was SOL when it came time to warranty them. No replacements and no refunds. Because of that I'd have a hard time buying anything Craftsman now. I'm thinking of Harbor Freight. Seems like they've really improved their quality. The new Icon line looks impressive for the price.
Cordeles tool for removing car wheel nuts

Many shops are ditching their air tools or at least their air impact guns for cordless electric impact guns. The Milwaukee Fuel seems to be the standard now. It's a beast that will easily remove front wheel drive axle nuts. 1400 lbs ft of reverse torque. I just saw Harbor Freight has a clone of it. I've used the Milwaukee Fuel, but haven't tried the HF clone. HF does have a corded impact gun that's decent for the price. Will easily remove lug nuts. Not sure of the torque rating.
