What I have found is buying decent tools is always a good investment. You don't necessaily need to go out and get a huge set all at once.
Add tools and parts as you need them. Certain torx sockets like the one for removing the strut brace are specialty as is the spark plug socket.
I was installing wheel spacers yesterday and took off my wheels until I got to a wheel with a semi stripped bolt. I was using a 12point 17mm with breaker bar.
The wheel lugs are 6pt which I don't own. Borrowed a neighbor's 17 mm 6 point and snapped it. Ended up going to a gas station to have a friend loosen it with a pneumatic 6pt. So, no matter what you plan, you never know when something else is needed.
