Message	Just about any tool set you get will have 1/2 the sockets in standard, which are fairly useless on the Z but it is something to keep in mind. A good set will have 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 sockets and wrenches and enough sockets to be useful, for the Z you will want one with lots of 10mm sockets. You could always build your own set. Definately want a torque wrench, and lots of extensions and probably a some socket adapters too. Some screwdrivers, one of those long magnets on a stick for when you drop something, lights, lots of different pliers, etc. Chances are you can get all that, a decent toolbox for it and maybe have enough cash for a small air compressor and some air tools.
