As a "retired?" aircraft mechanic I say start with Craftsman. Quality tools with a replacement warantee. As you get more experience you get you will notice which tools you need to borrow from a fellow mechanic. My policy was if you borrow it twice you need to buy it. Craftsman will get you through most things but the others do have specialty tools that are worth the money. I know I got blasted for being anti China with my made in CHina turnsignals thread but stay away from that crap. It is garbage steel that breaks and rounds off easy. Thats why its cheap so you can buy it again and again and again and... Ok so I critisized the Camaro5 favorite country of China so blast away.
