    So an opportunity popped up with a really good find, so I went and bought it for $500!!! This really shows you what you can do to find your first project car, find a budget suv, etc with minimal risk and a lot of potential reward!!! We used all common hand tools and did this job at home ourselves! Craftsman was bought by Stanley and now they have decent tools for the price! Worth taking a look at for sure! I messed with the 150 piece set for the first time and I liked it. It got the job done and I think you guys looking for your first set would find it to be a good starter set!

    There is nothing more rewarding than being able to fix your own AND other vehicles. I found CF back in 2015 and got hooked. I began fixing up my car at the time (mk4 golf) and ended up enjoying it so much I went to tech school. Long story short, I am now a mechanic and I have been able to use every single trick in my career that I have learned from ChrisFix. To this day, whenever tackling a new problem, 9/10 times there is a tutorial I can learn from. I turn it on loud in the garage and go to work- It’s like he’s right there with me. Thanks Chris. Jersey!

I am so pleased to see your hard work pay off. Good luck to you. So in this example the guys exhaust rusted out, he ignored it, melted his fuel tank (lucky to not cause a calamtous fire) so he could not refuel, and blamed thefuel pump ... wow. What a win for you.
