I started with a kit only because I walked into a Performance shop that was closing and they made me a deal I couldn't refuse. I was looking for two tools and ended up with a "Team" Kit for $66.00, tax included. I have since added many more tools as I got deeper into doing all my own work. Yeah, the Kit has a few tools I don't use much, but I'm not pinching all the pennies. Some of the single tools I've bought don't get used that often either, but they are there when I need them. So, it depends on your approach. Are you a tool guy? Or do you just want to do basic maintenance? That's the question to answer, and your decision will follow. bk

BTW, Yes, I have a fair amount of tools which cost some green. However, I have saved that money several times over by doing my own work.
