I just want to know if snap-on has a similar line of products.

Not sure why your are looking for Snap-On in particular but I like Craftsman tools because of the lifetime warranty. I broke a socket from a Craftsman set I bought at another auto parts store, took it to Sears, and they replaced it no questions asked.<ul><li><a href="http://www.snapon.com/">http://www.snapon.com/</a</li></ul>

and they have all types of stuff in their trucks.

A basic set can be had for $20-30... but its only going to have a limited set of sockets, and maybe some combination wrenches. I can assure you that the first job you try to tackle will stop dead in your tracks because you need 2 socket extensions or a deeper 15mm socket... or some other simple tool.

Off the top of my head there are alot of other necessities for even basic maintenance...
- alot of socket extensions
- a breaker bar
- hex sockets
- a brake caliper tool
- deep metric sockets
- a dremel kit (paid for itself 100 times over, too many uses to describe)
- torque wrench
- a long bendable magnet thingy (a must have for when you drop nuts and bolts into the depths of the engine bay)
- really large flat screwdriver for prying

I've collected all of the above by stopping in the middle of a job to run to the hardware store in my roommates car.
