allen keys

that should allow you to do most basic things yourself. A torque wrench is very useful for reinstalling cranks. It's not totally necessary (I've replaced cranks without them) but if I were for instance installing a 200 dollar pair of cranks I'd want to make sure they were tightened correctly so I don't strip them.

Why are you taking the cranks off anyway?
