3) don't over-buy. If you are using your tools only once a month, get cheap tools, you don't need snap-on. As long as the sizes are correct and they work, don't break the bank if you're not a pro.

4) a breaker bar is almost always better to have than an impact gun
And... A breaker bar or impact gun are NOT compatible with cheap sockets. Try to use a $1 socket even once with either of those and during the trip back from the hospital you can pick up a quality socket that will stay in one piece.
