So, I’m looking into getting a set of wrenches and (hopefully) a good socket wrench set. I would love to get a 30~40 piece set of SAE/metric sockets like my dad’s got, but I’m not sure if I can find anything that nice (or swing the $$$).
That said, does anyone happen to know the biggest socket/wrench I would possibly need for this S60 so that I can try to include that and a decent spread of sizes below it?
Also, was looking at that Torx Bit Set that IPD sells and was wondering if there would be much use for the T-10 (as opposed to just a screwdriver) or the T-27 (as it seems like kind of an odd size).

I bought a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench from Harbor Freight yesterday for $14.99. Decent quality. It does 20-150 ft. Lbs. I’ll only use of it is for my lugs on my S70 (19mm deep well socket). Now I can take the very good quality torque ratchet out of my car and put it in the tool box where it belongs.
Tool set: What’s the biggest I should expect to need?
