I agree with everything Mark said. There's a reason my Chevelle has been down for 11 years haha
You will end up hating something you used to love. Also it doesn't pay like it did 15+ years ago


I also agree on Craftsman tools. If you are starting out buy a >500$ roller box from Sears and a basic mechanics set. Lifetime warranty and you can upgrade later when you have the cash. That's what I did and now I have $50K worth of the big 3 at work and all my old Craftsman tools and box at home which comes in handy when I actually feel like working at home.


Go into Machining or Welding instead of wrenching if you want to be a laborer. If I could do it all again I'd never have started turning wrenches for a living
