What a mechanic's tool set does is combine the tools that you'll rely the most on into one kit to simplify shopping early in your wrenching career. Rather than having to think through a long list of tools, potentially forgetting something, you can grab a good portion of what you need at once.

Craftsman tools have a long and impressive history. In many ways they are the tools that built America as they were the preferred choice of many homeowners from their inception in 1927.
