Post Air Tools, Torque Wrenches, etc..

hi.. im lookin into get some tools to make working on my car easier. everyone seems to recommend craftsman, but only sears and orchard supply carries them.. (does anyone know how much the employee discount is for either of these storeS? )

What kind of tools do you guys recommend/are needed for regular messing around with and working oncars. i have a basic screw driver and ratchet set which i used to strip my whole car but im lookin at air tools to speed up the work.

what is needed to do a swap? there's an air compressor on sale for $300 at sears this wk and come with bonus impact gun and 3/8'' air ratchet. i think thats all i need.. i might get a butterfly 3/8'' air ratchet also but i dont think i really need it.. might get a air sander, air dreamel tool to port/polish things, and a cutting tool. is there a certain amount of psi rating or hp i need on a compressor that would make it reliable for my application?

i was thinking about gettin an impact hammer to help chissel some of that tar outta the floor pan of the car but im almost done with that with a basic hammer and screw driver. i think i just need a sander to sand off the little excess pieces. im also almost ready to change a clutch. any other tools i need? i might need to get a transmission stand of some sort.

what torque wrenches would i need to pull a tranny and engine? Should i go for both a 3/8'' and a 1/2'' torque wrench or do i jus need one of them?

thanks in advance for the advice guys..
