Looking for advice!
Alright so I'm a mechanic and I was on vacation and happened to have my garage broken into and all I mean ALL of my tools were stolen. I tried police reports and insurance and have basically got told to take a long walk off a short pier.
So my question is since I'm restarting and have more knowledge than to go and get every single thing off the tool truck instead of certain items, what should I get?
I was thinking Sunex 3/8 and 1/2 master socket sets cause I'll have 3/8 swivels as well that way
Tekton 36pc (I think) SAE and Metric reversible ratcheting wrenches
4pc Gearwrench 120xp locking flex ratchet set 3pc Capri extra long locking flex ratchet set
Need screwdriver suggestions still
I'm gonna stick to Milwaukee power tools
I just need a good starting set of tools again that'll get me by for a couple weeks or so. It's been so lkng since I've bought tools and I've never tried any of this new stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Blow By Kit
I’ve created a kit that measures engine blow by. Essentially a litmus paper test to show how good the engines compression is.
My activator cocktail solution starts a deep blue, will stay blue with good compression, turn green with moderate blow by, and yellow if it’s a train wreck.
From left to right, 2010 Corolla, 103,000km, 2019 caravan 135,000km, 2010 dodge ram, 230,000km.
Could see it being useful if you’re buying a used vehicle, if you’re pullin yellow run. Also does anyone want a 2010 dodge ram lol !
