One more thing I would add to the list of must haves is a JIS Screwdriver. Most of the "Phillips Heads" you will run into are really JIS.
Does anyone other than OS use JIS screws?
Most items imported from Asia use JIS screw. You can "make" a JIS screwdriver out of a regular Phillips screwdriver by grinding (or filing) the tip a little bit. Do a little at a time and test with a known JIS screw. Phillips screwdrivers are more "pointy" than JIS.
For something like the screws that hold O.S. carburetors onto the engines, you can use a Craftsman #2 Phillips screwdriver. That fits the little black screws very nicely...but you'll see that the tip of the screwdriver has a large flat spot like the center of the screwhead.
