Metric screw, bolt and round-bolt (allen head) extractor set. In my best Men’s Warehouse voice “You’re going to need it someday—I guarantee it.”

To add to what's already been noted:

Crows foot attachments

About 20 extra 13mm combo wrenches. You will end up cutting some shorter, you will end up grinding some thinner, you will end up throwing one or two across the shop and they always end up somewhere impossible to get at.

Very small needle nose pliers (scale modeling size) tweezers and tiny screwdrivers for some of the detail stuff.

A good magnifying glass. I have a lighted magnifier that is great (mostly for the older guys who's eyesight is starting to go).

Interior panel prybars. Pulling the door panels without them risks damaging the push pins or door card. A putty knife will work, but the special ones are better.

Inspection mirror. The little one on the extendable handle is perfect for seeing around corners, and behind stuff.

1/4" Snap-On 13mm Universal joint shallow socket. I originally bought it for installing / uninstalling the 16V intake manifold, it makes getting to a couple of the bolts much easier.
I find myself using it all the time now.

I'm not sure which one I have:

I see they also make a 6-point, so I guess I'll have to pick it up too:

If I ever come across a style of 13mm wrench I don't have I usually buy it.

I find this one especially handy:

6-point is also good to have:

I'd start with the basic kit and then tool up for specific larger projects. Basic (for me) is a 3/8-drive socket set with deep and shallow sockets, extensions, and a decent ratchet or three. Small-size projects benefit from 1/4-drive kit, larger will deserve 1/2"-drive kit, as needs and budget allow. Get a kit of assorted screwdrivers. At least one set of combination wrenches in the 8mm-19mm range. Pliers of various flavors. A set of Channel-Lock-style water pump pliers, and a couple different sized genuine Vise-Grip locking pliers. A set of ball-pein hammers will be handy for a few things, but I really use the little 4oz size the most of all of them. A set of metric Allen wrenches, and probably a set of 3/8-drive Allen drivers. A decent digital multimeter. A few flashlights, and the LED headlamp. Bottle of Advil, a fresh first-aid kit, three gallons of elbow grease and a ten-pound tub of patience. A good wifi connection for your laptop or tablet in the garage for RL access, and the PDF of the workshop manuals. Roller jack and at least two good jackstands. A 3/8-drive torque wrench will do most things, but will be stretched at 94 lbs/ft for lugnuts. A 3/8-drive impact screwdriver helps with several 928 tasks when screws are stubborn, more likely in your climate.

Bigger jobs take bigger tools, but you may be able to borrow or rent some of them like the big socket and bar for the crank pulley bolt when doing a timing belt. That job also needs the flywheel lock that others mention.

There are casual chems and fluids you'll want to have, particularly anti-siezes and LocTites for threads.



Decide how much work you'll be doing, and plan your parts and specialty tool needs as you go. I've been collecting tools this way for decades, and have most hand tools consolidated into just three rollaway boxes, two storage drawer cabinets, two large door cabs with shelves, plus a few smaller job-specific toolboxes. Plus bigger stuff like 3/4-drive bars, ratchets and torque wrenches that hang on the wall. Then the power and pneumatic tools in the cabinets in front of the lift. ....I'm not an addict. I can quit anytime I want. So happens I don't want to right now. So there!

But seriously, Rennlist is the best tool you can get.

Oh, plenty of penetrating fluid!
