Start yourself off with a good quality toolbox. Purchase #2 should a good diversified set of screwdrivers. I'm partial to Craftsman, but to each his own...

Get your self a good 250 - 300 piece mechanics set and that should cover almost everything you need ..

You can't put a torque wrench on t-handles. A set of 3/8" drive, socket style hex and torx will be more flexible. Make sure the torx set includes a T-27 (my Craftsman set does not).
+1 on the bang for the buck of a multi (100 plus) piece set and Craftsman.

Also, some needle nose pliers, some side cutters, and some snap ring pliers wouldn't hurt. Get Snap-On when you can afford it, Craftsmen when ya can't!
