Craftsman 95 pc. Mechanics Tool Set with Easy-To-Read Sockets - Model 34095 at Sears.com
Do the pieces in this kit seem comprehensive enough for a good foundation? |

Big thing to remeber, everything in a cougar is metric
Basic tools that always get used jack jack stands a set of 3/8 and 1/4 drive metric sockets 1/4 and 3/8 drive socket wrenchs set of metric combo wrenches (open one side, boxed other) screw driver set torx set, form small to big they are used on interior panels, headlights, grill, rear brakes (this is the big torx) wire stripers electrical tape plier set 16" 1/2 drive breaker bar and 6pt 22m 1/2 drive socket, ( this is for your lugs, hte stock wrench strips easy) penetrating oil if you ever wanna do suspention work ( ie spring and strut swaps) you need some beefy and speciality tools. a full set of 1/2 drive sockets rubber malet pry bar set ball joint seperator spring compressors deep offset metric wrench set (not critical but helps alot with strut removal) allen key set

Re: Basic Tools
looks like a good starter set for the price. (60 bucks, right?)
you still need a full torx set and some extensions. Oh yeah, torque wrench is always a good investment.
