I tend to use Halfrauds Professional range of tools. Cheap enough to buy with their trade card and actually pretty good quality. I have one of the 120 piece socket sets, bought for about 100 quid and in 2 years have only managed to round off one of the little torx attachments - replaced under warranty with no problems.
For me, the most important thing is having somewhere dry to work. I use my warehouse at work, overhead halogen lights and a clean floor! (understanding boss helps too) Really is good tackling a job and knowing that you won't have to abandon it due to bad weather
Oh, a cheapo digital camera is handy too for recording component positions etc.
I don't think my tool kit will ever be complete, I know my Dad still buys tools even after 30 years! His workshop is more towards non automotive engineering and wood work and his old profession as an upholsterer.
