6GC Tools, What to buy? Options

[WALKER]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to get some advice on what tools should be on the must have if you plan on doing all your own work on your celica? I haven't really read through all that much of the BGB, just skimmed parts. I have never really undertaken all that much of my own work on my own vehicles, but would like to start doing all my own work so I don't keep paying the big bucks for simply jobs.

So basically, what are the list of tools that should be purchased. Below is what I was thinking of purchasing, but please let me know your thoughts and opinions. I don't really need to know about brands, since everyone has their own opinion and I have read quite a few of yours about Craftsman, Snapon, Stanley, Mac, etc., I will form my own opinion from my own research (plus I have my own opinions already!)

3/8" torque wrench (~25-250 in.lb. torque)
1/2" torque wrench (~30-250 ft.lb. torque)
3/8" and 1/2" Metric Hex Bit Socket Set (#10,12,14,17,19) <-- I believe most of the bolt on our car are metric. Any others?
3/8" and 1/2" ratchet + breaker bar
Spark Plug socket
Extensions

Please add to the list what other tools you would recommend or delete from my list.

get a craftsman 150 piece tool set. its like 100bucks and does pretty much everything on the car.

you only really need one torque wrench. i have the 1/2in one that can do 20-180lb (i think).

the whole car is pretty much, 10m, 12m, 14,17m, 19m, 24m, and 30m.

also get your self a set of craftsman bolt outs. its like 30-40buck and they will save you ass if you work on the car a lot.
