Go on Craigslist where you can buy tools pennies on the dollar. Over the
years I have bought many complete tool sets ranging from $1,000 to
$20,000, all from (former, for varied reasons) mechanics that wanted to
sell. Since a big tool box (empty) from Snap-On or Mac is now over $10K,
it does not take long to spend many times that buying tools one at a
time. And definitely buy quality for the items that you will use
regularly. Harbor Freight quality is fine for the tools that you may
only use once.
