Default tools

I have $500 extra dollars to spend on rc and rather than buy the rock crawler I want I have decided it is long past due that I build my shop in my garage. So I have already bought a four piece metric set of hex tools from rd logics. What else would be some good tools to have in my new shop. I own a tmaxx, vendetta, rustler, micro t, and will be getting a cyclone s. Any ideas or opinions will help. If you guys could also include any websites I would appreciate it. Thanx!!!

Sweet thanx for the advice so far. how about any high end specialty tools clutch tools, setup gauges, flywheel removal tools, etc. I have some of the basics already such as the soldering station and dremel stuff.

I'd recommend a drill press as well.

[link=http://www.wihatools.com/]Wiha makes nice hand tools[/link]
A nice Fire Extinguisher is a must, sounds silly, and I hope you don't ever have to thank me.
Rubber floor mats are nice to keep small parts from bouncing too far and they are nice on the back/feet.
Lighting is a must, some overhead fluorescent and a magnifying lens/light is great.

Sorry if I got off track

A clutch tool and flywheel removal tool are VERY useful and saves a lot of time. $5-$6 for the clutch tool and from $25 and up for the flywheel tool.
