If you ever plan on doing front suspension, 27+ mm combination wrench set and possibly open ended torque wrench. Found this out the hard way and I don't use crescent wrenches

Its nice to have all those things but remember to keep organized. Everytime I walk into K-mart they know what im after.....plasic toe bins. They are the most handy lil thing to have. It keeps all the parts from each car that i work on separated and I usually have 2 big ones for each car. One for large parts(alts starter manis) and a small one with small bins inside of it to keep things like snesors valves and such in.
The way our shop is laid out is everyone has there own space(2 bays, 12 total) which is sorted out to help them work quicker. Some people work better in a little bit of cludder others work well in a space that is totally organized.
I have mine laid out so that i can get to everything easily. I have a big snap-on tool box that holds all of my hand tools and specialty tools, creeper, aluminum jack(great for long days), trans jack, and a shelving system that I keep my totes and diagnostic tools on. I also have a small push cart and a small a-frame tool rack that i built. At the beginning of each day I look over my work sheet(shows all that ill be doing) and load up the cart and rack with the assortment of tools I will need for the day, determined by each FSM(we have 27 for the different cars and truck we work on at my work). This way I am not getting up and down and searching for a tool.
