Tool Kit

[dria]

Hey there. I am sure most of you know that I am not the most handy person when it comes to fixing things. But I want to be! Is there an all in one mower tool kit I can buy? I do not think I could get everything I need unless it came in a kit or I had a really good list.

I think you just start making your own kit in a tool box. I have numerous tools from large to small. I have the biggest rackets for the big Farmall tractors down to the smallest wrenches and rackets for the lawnmowers. Just start looking at what tools you would need the most for whatever you have there that you have to fix.

Something like this is a decent place to start - then as you find other tools you are missing to do what you want to do - you might want other kits or individual tools. Hardware (Ace, True Value) Sears, Lowes, Advance Auto -- usually have kits to start with and you can build form there.

Great tips and links. That gives me something to start with. I figure I should put a little investment in to these tools because in the long run it will probably save me money (if I learn to use them). Am I right?

Tools are almost always a good investment, they make or save you money. You just have to be able to find them and keep them well maintained... and of course don't loan them out.
