I have plenty of money for these tools but what I can't afford in modern day America is a shed to put the tools in, a garage to work on my car in, and an alternative means of transportation to get me to the parts shop while I take 3 days in my off hours trying to figure things out because I'm inexperienced.
I’ve always lived in places with crap driveways but this one is nice, paved and level. Unfortunately no room for a garage or shed so yea, I spend about 20 minutes hauling various tools out of the basement (and hoping they don’t get stolen) before I can even loosen my lug nuts.
And for future self, a tube of anti-seize.
I questioned the need for my heavy equipment "fuck-you" sized impact gun when I bought it, but ive helped out more than a couple people remove old rusted on shit with it that their cheaper consumer impact gun simply couldn't handle.
