Default Inexpensive car floor jack

Anyone have a nice car jack with wheels?

Where do you buy a "breaker bar"??

Why do I need a torque wrench?

Are you looking to buy a floor jack from someone here? Cause the way its written thats what it seems like. But here you go...
Floor jack autozone/checker/kragen/chucks/ wal mart/ home depot/ pep boys. any place will do, I'd get a low profile jack if you plan on lowering your car.
Breaker bars are for better leverage in order to free stubborn nuts/bolts, kinda like a wrench.
You would need a tourqe wrench in order to tighten bolts to specific amount in lbs per foot. or to tighten your lug nuts to a specific amount.
There are also torx wrenches, star shaped tip,mainly used to unscrew crazy screws audi likes to use.

all of these items available at your local auto store.

You need a breaker bar to loosen your lugs if a shop put them on with an impact wrench- usually tightened to an obscene amount. Stock spec is 90 ftlbs, basically hand tight plus a little extra, you shouldn't struggle to remove them but need a good two handed pull.

DO NOT be cheap when buying a jack.
Buy quality, name brand only.
Always use jackstands.

It's your life...
