THE BASIC GARAGE PRIMER
Any type of job requires not only knowledge of what you're going to do, but also the correct tools and equipment to do the job. (automotive installations, mods, and repair)

If you're just getting started with doing work on your own car, having the proper tools and equipment can save time and headaches.

Here's four lists of tools that should be in every automotive enthusiast's garage.
