Those are luxury wants, not needs.
You need to think about your priorities man. I wish you the best and all, but it wasnt that long ago that other folks bought you underwear and I think you DIDNT learn a thing.
You have a TON of growing up to do. Just my opinion.
Tools make work more efficient...and less costly in the long run. There are quite a few projects where I burned a lot of fuel and/or paid for someone to do something, because I didn't have the tools to do it myself. All that stuff adds up.
I'm talking the difference between buying a cheap kit for $100 and a 2 pc dewalt/milwuakee kit for less than $200 that would then work with future tool purchases. I'm investing in my future. I'd be with you if I were talking about blowing $600 on a full on a set of tools I might use twice...
Being able to do the work I need to get done on my vehicles is important, and having decent tools makes it easier.
I'm selling a gun to buy a gun.. So.... not really that big of a deal either, IMO.
I'm trying to look to the future... and prepare as best I can.. Tools that lost a long time are an investment, and even IF I get into a shit situation and need to sell them, I can sell them and still get decent money back, and I'll have gotten use out of them while I had them. What's the resale value on a $40 B&D drill? $10? What's the resale value on a $200 Milwuakee set? $120?140?
