So when I do get a garage (hopefully soon). I will of course have to start the required collection of tools. So what would you all recommend.

I know the basics:
air compressor
floor jack
standard ratchet tools etc.

but what else have you guys got that you can't live without?

adjustable spanner wrench (Thanks martinc)
3/4 inch pipe stock, two sections each about 1.5 feet long
pneumatic tools
impact driver
PitBull front and rear stands
