Message	All right, finally starting to have a bit of extra money after furnishing the new house. Wanted to start equipping the garage with some tools. Coming out of college, I didn't have much storage space so I only have a jack, jack stands, a small general auto tool kit. Was wondering if you could supply me with some ideas of essential items or some really good bulk kits/deals going on. Maybe brands to stick to or stay away from. Also, should I do my shopping at Harbor Freights or Sears? I've seen some good deals at Harbor Freights but Sears also has the lifetime warranty. TIA
