I have most of the universal tools needed, including a full set of metric sockets,
Spin Doctor Allen wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers. I also have a Topeak Alien II travel tool:

This provides me with a chain tool and a few other specialized tools.
This is a list of tools I think I will need;
Chain Whip
Pedal Wrench
Cassette Lockring tool
Bottom Bracket Tool
Do I need anything else? I don't want to overspend or buy tools not needed for this build.
