I already have a basic tool set. 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" drive with metric and standard sockets, short and deep. Also some misc screwdrivers (torax, flat, phillips, and some ones I've never even heard of before).

That going to work? Or am I going to need my own chest with everything from breaker bars to axle pullers?

Also; for those of who have worked as managers or in shops; would you hire a young enthusiastic 18-year old, who can tackle small jobs? I can do the following well enough for people to trust me to perform them on their car;

1. Camshaft&components replacement (cam gear, timing belt/chain, valve seats)

2. Diagnostic machine hook-up (Know how to use one; primary/secondary ignition, 4 gas analyzer)

3. All the basic tune-ups; (Brakes, oil changes, belt changes, sparktrain changes)

4. And I can diagnose most problems given that you give me the proper equipment (Fuel pressure tester, diagnosis machine, OBD II reader, leak-down tester, etc. etc.)
