Default what do you mean by "pad"

i'm pretty familiar with snap-on trucks & have a good sense of what's really worth having.

Default If you mean fulfil a minimum order? Or a $$$ amount to spend?

If it were me, I'd look to see what tools I have, and then develop a wish list of wanted stuff....

Default Triples Square bit?

A nice triple square socket is always good to have, for undoing those inboard CV joints.

Get the one with the long tip, as it's easier to get past the rubber CV boot..

Default The best money i ever spent on a snap-on truck: (a bit long)

#1: Parllel jawed knippex pliers (sold as blue point). They use a cammed lever action and a track so the jaws stay parallel from each other at all times. They almost completely replace crescent wrenches, and you can get enough torque through them that i use them instead of actual wrenches half the time.

#2: mini 3/8 drive socket wrench. Part of sets they have in 3/8 & 1/4 drive. the whole thing's about 4" long and the head's less than an inch wide.

wobbley extension set (I prefer 1/4 drive, but whatever) the snap-on length variety is the best.

the ratcheting, pivoting swappable-shank screwdriver. One of the best tools I own. Available with either a 1/4 bit shank or 1/4 socket shank, or get both as you can swap them out. Also, they use a backwards 1/4" square drive for the shanks in the handle, so you can extend as long as you need with 1/4" socket extentions
