I am a tech down here in Oxford,Pa I started out 7yrs ago with a decent size craftsmen box with the big tool kit you can buy from them and just added on to my kit. I didnt just buy a bunch of different tools. I would start with a standard kit like that. I did just for the fact of not wanting to spend a ton of money plus there is a sear's right across from my shop so if i break something I just run over there. I still use the same kit now but have added alot of snap-on,matco tools..
