I've got to start buying new tools as I've lost mine somehow.
I'm only going to buy when I need to do something, so what tools and sizes do I need to complete?

I'm guessing some sort of 1/2 socket set?

Decent socket set, decent spanner set (swan-necked are handy), brake pipe spanner, soft-faced mallet, pry bar, breaker bar, torque wrench, brass wire brush (clean the threads on the drop-links before even attempting to loosen the nut) and lots of penetrating spray (i.e. NOT WD40 - Try PlusGas).

It's taken me years to build my tool set, and I'm still adding as I go along.
