Head set press
Your glorious BB tool.

Spoke wrench
Phillips screwdriver
Adjustable wrench
Cassette tool
Grease
Pedal wrench
Needle nose pliers
Star nut installer
A hammer
13mm, 15mm, and 17mm cone wrenches
8mm, 9mm, and 10mm wrench
Crown race masher
Torque wrench
Felco cutters
Scissors
Bike stand

Just to rattle off a few tools needed to build a bike..... correctly.
