Car repair and maintenance tools, Trying to make a list of tools Options

[phonex98]

Hey guys

So Xmas is coming up and the family still asks me for a list of things that i need/want for christmas, and i figured the only thing i need is tools for working on my car... however i dont exactly know what tools i need or will need in the future, so i was hoping you guys could help me make a little list of the most common/useful tools.

What i plan on doing:
Changing oil, Changing tires, Changing spark plugs, electrical maintenance, random custom projects

Tools i think are necessary:
Generic tool set (w/ all screwdrivers and ratchets and pliers)
ratchet extension
click type torque wrenches (What ft-lb rating should i get ?)
Spark plug gapper
Dremel
Jack + Stands
good soldering iron
Wire stripper
Metal Files

Anything else you guys can add ?
