    To work on cars, you need a core set of tools including a socket and ratchet set, combination wrenches, a breaker bar, a torque wrench, screwdrivers, pliers, a floor jack, and jack stands. It's also important to prioritize quality over quantity and avoid buying massive, expensive kits that may include unnecessary tools. Additionally, consider your specific needs and the types of tasks you plan to perform when selecting tools.
