    Hi there,
    Do not be lured into thinking that you have to have Snap-On to fix aircraft. Any tools from a decent maker such as Britool/Craftsman/Draper will do. Snap-On is far too expensive for basic jobs.Most mechs will have a few of them, such as the very popular Snap-On ratchet screwdriver or the bent spanners for getting into tight corners or the long-reach sockets.Pretty much everybody will have a mix of several brands and many people will have a small, handy box for ready/field use and a bigger box for hangar/overhaul use.Specialists such as sheet metal workers or avionics guys will have dedicated tools, which the average mech may not have.You should have, like I said, a small field kit, as a basic essential.
    regards
