The tool set and box arrived today. I bought the Craftsman all metric set--259 pieces. It's basically all good usable tools, none of the extraneous crap somtimes included just to up the piece count. I have a couple torque wrenches, not sure about their accuracy. Any other special tools I need I'll buy on the fly. Sears couldn't advise me on which box was a good fit, so I got a rather large box--weighs more than the tool set. Well, room for add-ons. As for driving to Sears when brakes aren't tight, I say "hell, why not". I like to live dangerously. Thanks, Pete
