Simple.
You do not need a whole lot of special tools.
The Only tool that I love was a set of alignment pliers. They are diffrent then normal ones. The company I bought mine from was Mac tools. I think I paid 35 or 40 Bucks. They are built in such a way to grab a hold of the tie Rod ends and twist them with out slipping. The Look like channel locks But the top part were you grab the part is curved just right and they work Great. The other tools are just normal wrenchs and a pry bar. I had bought a Long set to loosen those rael tight ones but that was a bit of over kill. I have all Snap-On tools it is the only thing I buy. But it Kills the check book. I had a set of S-K Tools and was real happy with them. they are about the same cost as craftsmen but better. If you are making a living working on cars you can write off all your Tools on your taxes. I wrote off every tool I bought and Tool Boxs. I can send a pic of the Mac alignment tool If you would like contact me off the list and let me know you want it.

Okay, for all you bargain hunters (yes, I'm el cheapo too) hehe
I'm about to go do alignments up at work and was wanting to know if anyone
had any expertise in this field or has any knowledge of the tools I need and
where I should buy them at. I'd like something with a nice lifetime
warranty (darn sears doesn't have any alignment tools) but the only thing is
I don't have an unlimited check book. Can someone point me in the right
direction?
1) type of tool
2) usage of tool, how badly NEEDED is it, or is it a once in a lifetime
kinda thing
3) where to buy... price.. etc.
Thanks.
