What I consider the essential tool box (bare minimum):

- Hammer
- Pliers (needlenose, clipper, big daddy, adjustable)
- Screwdriver (either a set or removable head piece w/ multiple heads)
- Precision Screwdriver set
- a good 12v-18v Cordless Drill w/ drill bits and other useful bits
- Level
- Stud Finder
- Zip ties (these things are the best, seriously everyone should use them as much as they can)
- small Hacksaw or all-purpose Saw
- Sand Paper
- Filer (various size and shapes)
- a good Ratchet set
- Wrench set
- Measuring Tape
- Work Gloves
- Safety Goggles
- various Tapes (Electrical, Duct, Double Sided, etc.)
- various sized Nails, Screws, Nuts, Bolts, Washers, Anchors, etc.

Optional - If you change your own tires and spark plugs:
- 1/2' and 3/8' torque wrench

I'm sure I'm missing a few things, but with these things, I can repair/build almost anything.
