What is a good list of tools to have with you while at the junkyard pulling new life into your ride?
I have found the hard way that I needed my Torx set while pulling a cylinder head out :'(  Luckily I was able to summon the wife on the phone and she tossed me my set from over the junkyard fence but to my horror the set was for a 1/2 drive which I didn't carry.  There was no way in hell I could convince her to go back home and then come back. :-[
Oh, don't forget to have a cheater bar to get some leverage.
Let's see your list!

Screwdriver.

GermanStar:
Or a Margarita? Perhaps not...

<<<<I would think that Crazy Ray's would have given you a frequent user card by now, allowing you to check out the tools you need as you go...kinda like the library.

I got a steering box for my 560SEL for $25.  It's got no leaks!
I love the junkyard.
