I recently got back into working on my own cars after 20 year hiatus. I got the 170 piece kit. So far so good.
But my dad has a collection of odds and sods of no brand stuff which he built up over the years. And it's the stuff like various pliers, grips, and the jars and jars of washers nuts etc that can save you a trip to get one nut or keep you working on a Sunday that you can only accumulate over time. Some great advice above from far better qualified than me. But one tool not mentioned that's been invaluable for me is a Dremmel.

Vinyl gloves are handy but more importantly plasters.
