I agree with pretty much everyone else on this sub to a point. Be wary of the tool truck brands, it is EXTREMELY easy to find yourself in loads of debt real fast. I work as a lube tech at a GMC/Buick dealership. Since you're working on European stuff, save yourself some time and order these oil filter sockets. I don't work on a ton of euro cars, but a set like this will be very helpful (GearWrench 41890 6 Piece Oil Canister Socket Set Service Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007QV2KY0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_t5NvCbACT91ZE)

Now, HF is good to start off of, and I definitely recommend getting one of their roll carts, but i think their torx sockets are pretty meh and i dont think they have anything for triple squares(Not sure if you need them for LOFs), but Amazon will be your friend. Also, their air tools from what ive used are pretty meh. I haven't touched their impact wrenches, but keep that thing very well oiled and plan on replacing it sooner rather than later. I burned through 4 HF die grinders in the span of 5 months. All were oiled before use every time. After the last one, I went on Amazon and ordered an aircat one. Last 1.5 years have been problem free, but I've noticed that it's been shooting black gunk(read: metal shavings) out the exhaust for the past 3 months. There hasnt been a decrease in performance but i'm going to send it in for warranty anyways. They also make a large variety of air tools(it's in the name) and ive heard nothing but good things about them. Same with Astro pneumatic tools. Can acquire both from Amazon. I also shop frequently from another online vendor known as the Jersey Discount Tool Company. Search the app JDTCo on your appstore or find the Snap on/Mac/ Matco buy sell trade page on Facebook. Both are run by a guy named nick. He can beat pretty much anyone on anything gearwrench, milwaukee, dewalt, sunex and various other brands. Dude has saved me a ton of money as well as many others, so shameless plug.

Other than that, if you do want to buy from the truck brands, have a list of things you want, and hunt deals and monthly fliers. If you're a student, get on the student discount train and ride that.

Other than that, good luck!

An ASSTOY640 oil filter wrench. They are used to remove the caps of cartridge filter housings (an example with the tool to remove it installed on it) which manufacturers from many makes have started using in place of standard spin-on oil filters.

Instead these housings are a reusable plastic or metal container that house a replaceable filter element (this one is an example of a Prius filter) and depending on the vehicle manufacturer some require special tools to remove the cap correctly without damage.

Others though use a nut on top that you can buy a special socket set for although depending on the access available, you can sometimes use a regular 1/2 drive socket instead (Dodge Grand Caravans for example as they take a 24mm socket to remove).

The main reason why this tool failed though is because many Toyota models are known for breaking these tools when people overtighten the housings on reinstall and then when the next guy goes to remove the housing, it's simply on too tight for the tool to be able to withstand the force required to remove it. Heck I've seen one on so tight that an air hammer was required to finally remove it, followed by the last guy who installed it getting an earful about it.
