I don't know what your $/hour cost works out to, but having a pile of connectors on hand is worth it to me, Vs. the aggravation/time/fuel/wear costs of going out to buy a single bolt/nut.

Basically, the cost of going out to buy a specific fastener four times is equal the cost of buying a giant set of fasteners.

5. I’m loving my Ryobi cordless impact wrench (I realize there are higher torque ratings out there, but this has worked well removing rusted on bolts on my 14 year old Yukon):

I don't think there are many higher 1,170 ft./lbs. Breakaway Torque. I just used mine to rescue an F-250 who couldn't budge one lug nut with a breaker bar.

ONE+ HP Technology Delivers Up to 1,170 ft./lbs. Breakaway Torque

Add the 12" chain saw, High Pressure Inflator with Digital Gauge (only $20)

A 2 or 4 post lift sure is useful and handy, even though it's not beginner necessary.

Hands-down the most useful thing I've got in my toolbag is an electric ratchet and a set of Torx bits (you really just need T30 and T50, tbh).

That and an impact driver.

Might want to include the T40 and T20
