Message	I have easily spent into the 5 figures on training, certification and assorted equipment and tools for my path but just throwing some huge dollar suggestion for someone looking to begin wrenching on their car isn't necessarily advisable. I bought the craftsman 200-something piece set that was on sale for ~$150 and its nice. I've added a few pieces here and there but I'm doing OK.
