Gap Tool i know! For diagnosing purposes.
but as far as lifting the hood, or putting the car up in a jack and getting in there. What tools should i purchase and get familiar with. Granted, i’m aware that many jobs are simply best left to pros, and other jobs ONLY should be done by pros, but for the jobs that any joe schmoe like me could do with a little know-how, some patience, and the desire to learn.
keep in mind, i was not raised by a “car guy”, nor did i hang out with friends who worked on their own cars. I wasn’t blessed like that so i have to start from zero, but i’m a great learner. I love reading. I work with power tools at work and i’m not afraid to get dirty or scraped up. I can invest in tools if they are worthwhile. Ok, enough about me.
what tools do you suggest i start with, and for what jobs? and what tools should i eventually try to get and for what jobs?
bonus: what jobs should i rarely or never try to do on my own, even after i gain experience? Better left for trained pros
