Whenever I see deals on these basic “mechanics tool kits” I always snap them up. At just $52, this Dewalt 84-piece kit is cheap enough that you can buy a couple and throw one in each of your cars. You and I both know you’ll need to make some roadside repairs and you’ll be glad you had this thing.
At some point in your life you’ll need a transmission jack, and you’ll be glad you had this one. It’s rated to hold 1,000 pounds and lifts up to 73 inches tall. If you have a big transmission job coming up, get this and save your back. It’s 38 percent off right now.

Okay, this one is a bit pricey at $1,199, but it’s half off, so you’d be a fool not to buy it. This Flir thermal imaging camera would be helpful for tracking exhaust leaks, checking for hot spots, and looking for leaks. And it would just be fun to play with a cool gadget. Not enough gadgets around, I say.
You’re working on a big metal box that runs on tiny explosions in your garage (more than likely) made of wood. Cover your ass and prevent it all from burning down around you if you do a dumb thing, like throw sparks into a big red gas can. Buy yourself a four-pack of fire extinguishers and keep them around the house. You never know when you might need one. The $89.95 it costs is worth it.

You need gloves when you’re working in the garage. If you don’t have nice quality nitrile gloves, your hands are bound to get all gunked up with car gunk. You don’t want that. Buy a pack of 1,000 for the next 500 garage jobs. If your hands are small, they’ll only cost $63.74.
