I decided to go beyond lurking and modifying the driver. I'm putting together a budget to allocate for tools. I have a ton of questions that I couldn't find a definitive answer searching the internet.

First, what are the the most important tools to have around other than a set of screwdrivers? What brands do you recommend?

Second, what kind of jack stands and floor jack should I buy? I'm going to be ecomodding the Honda Civic and at the very minimum, do oil changes for family cars (CR-V, Pontiac Grand Prix, and a Honda Accord). Should I buy a 3 ton floor jack or is 2 1/4 sufficient?

I appreciate your time and patience.
