+1 Hozan lock ring tool. Also Hozan third hand tool
Sugino bb tool set (if you work on vintage bikes)
Workstands: at the home owner level, I like the non-Park tool brands the best, like a Spin Doctor Pro. At the high end level, I love the Park Tool stands (PRS2 or similar).
Truing stand on a budget? Think used. I bought a Park TS 2 (the one that goes for $200 new), used for $50. I've seen a second one at that price since. At least 90% of my tools were bought used.
+1 To below, unless you are working on bikes regularly, a truing stand is overkill. But if you find a deal on one.....
