It all depends on what you want to do. I add tools as I need them. Doing a brake job? I buy the tools (provided I intend to do that job again in the future).
I think a torque wrench is mandatory.
An air compressor is really handy, as well as an impact, air ratchet, air chisel, etc.
A floor jack and QUALITY jack stands. The lighter the floor jack you can afford the better. The newer aluminum ones seem nice.
