No way. I prefer to do my own work. I will buy specialty tools when I need them and I do have a hydraulic press already. I don't have a lift, so as I'm getting older, I like working on my back less and less, (although I just swapped a tranny at home a few months ago in my Jeep ZJ). But suspension work is genererally easy. I am not your average home tinkerer. I am probably better equipped at home than most A techs. To give you an idea, this is what my toolbox looks like, (and it's pretty much packed):
