  • 15-piece set of metric wrenches
  • power bleeder
  • screwdrivers

but was wondering what else you guys would recommend I should add at this point, especially if someone could recommend a set of ratchet/sockets that would cover most of the basic needs.

As I understand that the tools needed are a function of the use intended, let me just describe that: I am only planning on doing basic work such as: break pads, wheel swap, break fluid, oil changes, etc...

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
Get a good torx set, they come in handy, like the airbox cover. #T20

Rubber mallet or deadblow
Good set of picks, straight
