Dads tools or buy my own?

Been running into a dilemma when buying tools lately. For context im 27 been out of the house since the day I turned 18... but when I bought my first impact driver to do some basic DIY work on my car, my dad basically told me that was a waste and to just come on by when I need to do some work... I don't have a ton of room for tools (apartment) so I think he was just trying to save me some space, but I feel at 27 I shouldn't be calling my daddy when I need to do some work on my car... thoughts?
