I installed a plenum spacer with just a Craftsman 10mm ratchet from Sears.

Go to Sears and but one of their 100 plus socket kits. You will need to buy metric wrenches, screw drivers and pliars seperately, but I HIGHLY recommend doing this at the minimum! You will often find that directions quote needing this and that, but you end up needing this, that and this as well. Any time you take on a project of any size, consider the fact that you will need more than you think.......that is just the way it is!

PS: Buy an extension magnet, some metric allen sockets, air tools and compressor, a torque wrench (or two), a micrometer, a caliper, some feeler guages and whatever else you can get your hands on and afford........................you can NEVER and I mean NEVER have too many tools!

Go to Sears and pick up a mechanics tool set with at least a 3/8 inch ratchet. Good to get SAE and metric sizes.

Also pick up a torque wrench while you're at it.

I would personally highly recommend Snap On. My father is a retired mechanic so I have access too alll different brands, craftsman is nice b/c of its lifetime warranty and how easy it is to drive to SEARS and replace it, but the hand tools DO break often. NEVER had a snap on tool break on me, and they also have a lifetime warranty last I remember. Only thing with snap on is the difficulty in purchasing the tools.
