Most common tools to work on 928?
Ok, at the expense of getting flamed, I have read the Frequently Asked Questions and have used the "search" function, but cannot find a thread specific to 928 tools. So, what are the most common tools required to be a do-it-yourselfer Shark tuner? Taking into account: Top End Refresh jobs, timing belts, oil changes, tune-ups, and beyond.

Thank you, I am compiling a list for Christmas. Daddy wants new tools. 
Probably a good thread to have going, anyway, if it hasn't already been covered somewhere else.

Useful to have a wrench for adjusting the suspenders and the special tool for the internally adjustable koni's if you have them fitted.
You also need a dial gauge kit, a vacuum pump kit [Silverline] and a compression tester is useful not to mention a pressure gauge for the fuel rail [only for diagnostic purposes!].
For the ST2, besides the kit itself you need a wideband O2 kit [I use the Innovate kit] and a netbook type laptop. you also need a torx socket set or whatever it is called to undo the little fasteners on the LH/EZ units when you change over the memory modules to PEMS.
Beyond that you are into fancy factory tools/pullers for major engine work. It would be nice to have a lift, an engine hoist and an engine stand but....
You can do the timing belt with the tools Mr Merlin has listed

Get a telescoping mirror - it will prove to be invaluable. When removing the rear shift coupler above the torque tube - it was worth every cent I paid for it. BTW - they're cheap, I think I paid $5 at a local parts store.
Get one that has a mirror that is big enough you can see with. I have another one which is a 1 inch diameter mirror that is only good for looking at your back teeth..
