Yep. No metric and no damned Torx. Just a good set of Craftsman combination wrenches, a set of 1/2 drive sockets, ratchet and breaker bar, vise-grips, two or three sizes each of standard and Phillips screwdrivers - and a can of WD-40. Didn't need much else. Oh yeah - ignition file and feeler gauges.
