I bought a couple of S-K socket sets (combined metric/SAE, 3/8" and 1/2" drive). These are great sets. Don't waste your money buying cheap socket sets. (IIRC, they actualy came from Harbor Freight -- a rare case of HF selling tools that aren't "disposible".)

Here's a link to the 3/8" set -- http://www2.northerntool.com/product-1/369487.htm ($129)

Here's a link to the 1/2" set -- http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/sto...860966&R=860966 ($209)

This gives you some idea of what you can get for $150.

Also, I advise getting at least some SAE sized sockets and wrenches. You never know.... Especially for non-S2000 stuff (random work around home).

 

I have a small toolbox in my trunk with a few screwdrivers, a meterinch socket set( each socket will work on both metric and standard because it grabs from the sides and not the corners), electrical tape , duct tape, zip ties and a few other odds and ends. I use it all.....all the time.

 

I would also recommend 2 jack stands and a good low profile pump jack

 

10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm

 

Home Depot's Husky tools are not too bad, either.

I have a craftsmans socket set, but have bought a few Husky items as needed and they seem to be of good quality.

 

1/4" drive is good for getting into tight quarter's. A set of metric wrench's would compliment the metric socket set. Slip joint plier's, channel lock plier's, needle nose plier's and some screwdriver's are all necessary tool's that you will use at one time or another.

A good torque wrench is also good to have for properly torquing down wheel nut's, oil pan bolt and the transmission drain plug. Although Craftsman make good tool's, I don't think they offer the best torque wrenche's.
