Tools MM Members Should Own

[G.Irish]

While changing the brakes on my Tundra last night I was thinking about what tools an MM member should own at each stage in their life. As a alumni a few years out of school I have the privilege of a garage with air tools and such but I think back fondly of those days of changing my oil in the Sunchase parking lot. So I thought it'd be useful to put together some lists of tools an auto (or moto) enthusiast should own at each stage of their life. To start:

MM Student
-Set of 1/4",3/8" sockets with socket wrenches
-Walmart jack (something that can be fit in a case for autox/track)
-Harbor Freight Impact Wrench
-HF Impact Sockets
-Oil filter wrench
-Small toolbox
-Set of Closed end wrenches
-At least 2 jack stands

MM Graduate (in addition to the MM Student tools)
-Air compressor
-Alignment tool
-Heavy duty floor jack
-1/2" impact gun
-3/8" impact ratchet
-Set of ratcheting wrenches
-Full complement of chemicals (anti-seize, pb blaster, wd-40, brake cleaner, etc.)
-Assortment of hammers

MM Rider
-Front and rear wheel stands
-Set of allen keys
-Wheel alignment tool
-Chain tool

I'm sure I forgot a bunch of stuff but when we get it all figured out maybe we can post it on the site as an article.
