Must have tools for DIY'ers
lots of questions from members who want to do DIY driveability issues with no basic diagnostic tools to do them.
what are some of the must have's with all the common blazer quirks?
I believe a minimum would be:
1: basic code reader
one with a live data stream would be better.
2: a DVOM
a power probe would be even better, (combi voltmeter, circuit tester, test light)
3: fuel pressure tester.

Compression tester,
Cylinder leak down tester, Air Compressor required
Code reader, OBD II will work for newer. if you can find one with ABS And supports OBD I with the adapters for cheap GO FOR IT!
Misc. Pullers 2-3 jaw.
Ball-Joint/Tie-Rod/Pitman Arm/Idler Arm service tools depending on how far you want to get into your rig
Grinder, Dremill, grease gun, obviously grease ha ha, Vise 6" or so. I got a harbor freight 12T press in my shed.. hardly ever use it.
Small torch (Walmart/Meijer) is what I use and it did fine on my u-joints
So I guess buy what you need as you need it.
