Default What are MUST HAVE tools and accessories?

Just got confirmation of a March 2018 arrival for my .2 GT3, so I'm just a little disoriented at the moment. Please help set me straight. What are the MUST HAVE tools and accessories if one plans to use the car mostly for track? Do have tools with my prior 996, so looking for what would make tire switching, brake serving, etc easier on the 991.2 GT3
1. Best center lock tool or gadget(s). This will be my first car with a center lock wheel
2. Best roll bar or half cage?
3. Eh......what else? LOL.

Thanks,
Chuck

The precision instruments 3/4in torque wrench seems to be the go to. If you are a Porsche person, you probably have all the metric torx and allen head stuff you need.

The Precision Instruments torque wrench is also available as a combo kit with a breaker bar handle.
