A few questions about tools for an entry tech...

RustyDusty said
I've yet to ever run into needing a crow's foot for a job. Is this a tool that I should invest in though?

I use them for fluid lines like a power steering line. Most of the time the fittings are hard too get to and you will need some sort of extension/swivel combination and a crow's foot to break it loose and tighten it.

Also do any of you use an air hammer with a tie rod end separator? Or just a good ol pickle fork?

I've never seen anyone use a pickle fork on a modern car. Unless you don't care about destroying parts... like said before you will likely use a hammer
or if it comes down to it, heat.

Here's a list of my tools. Let me know if I'm missing anything:
SAE & Metric Wrenches & Sockets, Allen & Torx
Breaker bar, assorted ratchets, and extensions. 1/4 3/8 1/2
1/2" Torque wrench
torque bars
pliers & vice grips
Prybars
Measuring Tape
Micrometer
Dial indicator
Multimeter
screwdrivers and 2.5' phillips and flat head
dead blow
3lb sledge
impact wrench
die grinder
air hammer
Ball joint press
pitman arm puller

I may have missed a few things, does anyone notice anything big missing that I'd need doing a lot of front end work?

if you are doing a lot of front end work, I would invest in a good torch set up. The shop ones are always beat. I would also say you might want to look into getting some universal sockets, I can't live without those. Also Torque Stix and a brake caliper piston tool. And yeah, good bungee cords!

Once you start, you will know what you'll need because you will be borrowing it all the time. Unwritten rule is that if you borrow a particular tool three times, it's time to buy it.
