Don't skimp on the jack and jack stands. Not worth your life. When it comes to wrenches and sockets I like craftsmen. They have a lifetime warranty and you never have trouble finding a sears store. You also don't have to worry about mailing in parts.
I don't reccomend the kits thought. Buy what you need, those kits seem like a good deal, and you do save money then if you were to buy them all seperate, but how often will you use standard sized tools, I know I never do. Just buy yourself a metric wrench set, 3/8th metric socket set (6 point short and 12 point long usually works well) a good 3/8th rachet (this will work for just about everything you need) Then pick up a screwdriver set and other stuff along the way if you need it.
