In all seriousness........Harbor freight will be your friend for the following items:

Sanding disks
Paint removal wheels (looks like a coral disk $5 at harbor, $16 everywhere else)
Clamps Both magnetic and locking
Spot weld drill ($4 bucks at HF)
A cheap welder if u really don't have the money to buy a decent one
Sawzall ($20 at HF. Mine did everything i needed and is still going strong)
4" angle grinders ($20 at HF and theyre disposable LOL)
Electric Impact gun ($50 at HF and mine is a champ)
Impact socket set
If ur gonna stick with Drums get a Brake tool kit
Bench Vice
Wire Wheels are cheap at HF
Jack stands (bought mine at Bi-Mart and they are good ones)
Screwdriver set
Ratcheting wrenches (bought at Costco $20)
A good set of Drill bits
Electric Drill / Batt Drill
A good Head lamp
Compressor and associated tools (blower/Cut off tool/paint guns etc. )

I just built up the stuff I have over a while. I figured I could allow myself a tool per paycheck and I did it that way. Some times I just had to get em coz I really needed em to complete a task. Go on line and print urself off the %20 off coupons for Harbor and that will help.
