golfer007,

The one tool suggestion I'll make is to purchase the Park chain break tool that looks like a set of pliers. I forget the model number. It's not cheap - like $40. I know, $40 for a damn chain break tool. Believe me when I tell you - worth every single penny. I certainly don't have a full set of shop tools as I tend to purchase as I need things but I always buy quality and that chain breaker is the pride of my tool box. Absolutely flawless in its' function and takes all the brain work/skill needs out of the job. The tool does all that for you. The family hamster can take the link out of a chain and appropriately seat a pin with that thing.
