    Tools!!!

    As I am now an apprentice mechanic - started on Monday :bounce: :bounce: I am after some tools...

    I have had a chat with a few of the blokes in the workshop and my boss as to what I should get.

    I am thinking more along the lines of spending a bit more upfront on a fairly decent kit that will have more than a first year apprentice needs. Because in reality its cheaper spending more upfront on a bigger kit, than buying a small one and then adding individual bits and peices to it.. :)

    So I have narrowed it down to 3 tool kits, those being:

    Repco:
    Master Mechanics Tool Kit
    390 Peice
    Metric/Imperial
    1/4'', 3/8'', 1/2'' and 3/4'' Drive

    http://tradecatalogues.repco.co.nz/i...?itemId=299125

    $2529.00 for the whole lot

    SP Tools:
    Diamond White Concept Series Tool Kit
    275 Peice
    Metric/Imperial
    1/4'', 3/8'' and 1/2'' Drive

    http://www.vektools.com.au/automotiv...e-p-11434.html

    $1950 for the whole lot

    Kincrome:
    Stealth Workshop Tool Kit
    247 Peice
    Metric/Imperial
    1/4'', 3/8'' and 1/2'' Drive

    http://www.vektools.com.au/automotiv...n-p-11933.html

    $1999 for the whole lot

    Those are the 3 that I have to chose from. Obviously the Repco kit costs more, but it does have more stuff and it has the 3/4'' drive which the other two don't.

    Whats the quality like with the new Repco stuff?? I know the old stuff is really good, but you don't hear much about the new stuff - is that a good thing or bad thing?? :p haha

    The white is gonna be a bitch to keep clean, but it looks really nice! and I actually kinda like the idea of being able to see if its dirty or not...

    Which do you think is best way to go??
