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.

one of my best buys was a GOOD jack, a set of jackstands, and wheel chocks.

As for a tap and die set, are they quite easy to use? I guess I am wondering if I would be able to tap the exhaust manifold for an EGT myself?

yes, however, if your not experienced with doing it, i wouldnt try the exhaust manifold.
the metal is quite brittle, and suprizingly thin in the area in probe needs to be placed, and if your not really carefull, you can easily ruin the threads.
