A good short and deep socket of each of those, a few extensions and a 3/8" ratchet should cover most jobs. You'll also want a set each of hex-bit sockets and torx-bit sockets.

For some jobs you need special tools, for example the spark plugs are removed with a 14mm, 12-point, thin-wall socket. Amazon has these. If you were doing struts then you would also want spring compressors (same as any car). For most jobs though you won't need anything special.

thanks for your detailed reply i do appreciate it now maybe you know of any sets on amazon that has all these?
