Thank you, I'm glad I asked. To the point of getting the right tools, how do I determine what's, what? Any brands you recommend as good to go?

Snap-on. If your mechanically inclined the internals are very basic, robust and easy to understand. I'd rather rebuild 1911's all day if I could.

I agree...snap on and craftsman are what I use for home tools...HOWEVER get a screwdrivers for gunsmithing, there is a differnce between common screw drivers and gunsmithing ones...you may not know the differnce but they make a difference when using them!!!

Of this I have no doubt and I thought that's what I was asking about when seeking best brands to buy

any recommendations for GUNSMITHING tools?

You can get nice sets from brownells, just dont buy the cheap priced ones.

Yup. Hollow ground gunsmith screwdrivers...brass punches. Brownells or Midway

Would one of you be kind enough to provide me with a link for a good basic set?

The one I posted earlier in this thread was rejected in the $100 price range. Clearly I don't know how much I should be spending or what to spend it on - thanks!

PS, I have no designs of opening a shop so I don't need the best, just a solid basic set.
