After 11 years of marriage (this time around) my wife has consented to my request (pleading) for a tool set for Father's Day. I have been looking at the Craftman catalog and am totally lost. Module 1 is a no brained, but what else do I need to do some BASIC work on my 914? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Get a 150 piece set or more.
Get acid etched (sp) sockets that are easy to read...it helps. (3/8 and 1/2 inch)
Get open/box end wrenches metric up to 22mm
Get allen heads
Get torx bits
Get a good flashlight/droplight/headset of lights
A full set of the lower cost screw drivers..(always need more)
A tie rod fork
A full set of large screw drivers/pry bars
A mightvac for brake bleeding
A set of dental picks..(all sorts of uses)
Jack stands
A good hydraulic jack (get one exactly like the one you have...) two jacks that match make removing the engine a breeze...

Air compressor (largest you can afford)
air grinder/cut off wheel (manly dremel)
air sander/grinder
spot paint gun...small one for touch up work.

A full detail tool kit.
Brushes, both brass and nylon

An electronic buffer

Safety glasses, disposable masks, full face shield.

Welder, helmet, gloves, stand, spare wire.
