dont forget the breaker bar and my wife got me a set of those kobalt multidrive socket wrenchs and they are very nice for the money. Its not a need tool but its very nice to have in a glovebox or if your lazy like me and dont like walking back and forth to the truck from the toolbox

Husky and cobalt are also pretty good tool sets. I have started a sweet little deal for myself being 19 I have told my family that I only want one present a year. They usually all pool together so I get like a $200 dollar something. I asked for Carhartts, snap on tools, etc. It works out nicely for everyone.

Yep being a poor college kid, its good to receive one nice thing a year. I bought myself this Ford for my birthday and christmas present so I am pretty happy. I presently have no radio out by my ford but this summer first thing is to get one ran to jam to some tunes. Stock radio works but just not very good using that one when I am working on the truck itself.

In my opinion?
When I was 19 (2004), I was fresh out of tech school and wrenching at a GM dealer. About 90% of my tools were Craftsman kits. I do have some Snap-Off stuff, but I generally lean towards Craftsman. Why? When/if something broke I could run down to the local sears on my lunch break and they would take care of it. On the other hand the other guys in the shop had to wait for the Snap on, Cornwell or Matco dude to show up.
Now I'm 26, and Ironically I'm a Parts manager at a car dealer. I got tired of getting dirty...lol.
Moral of the story? Go with Craftsman..better warranty support.
And ditto on the Cobalt dogbone tool...I have one in my glove box, those are dope!
