Spider you seem to have figured out that for your skill level that some Craftsman tools will be a starter set. You can buy a complete 3/8 and 1/2 drive set with end wrenches for not that high of a price.
Now for a torque wrench. I would recommend a good click type. You can get a MAC 1/2 click type starting at $250. Buy a good one of these and it will last you a life time. IF you store them correctly they will be accurate for many years. (just dial them back to zero when stored.) A cheap one maybe right or it may not be. You are risking your entire repair job IF it is not accurate. So buy a good one of these. I have pickup used MAC/SNAP ON on Graigslist for my sons. Your local MAC or Snap-on dealer can send them off to be calibrated and checked. I send mine every few years. It usually only cost $30-40.
You can decide on who to listen to on this. I have owned/repaired/mechaniced for over forty years now. So I think that should carry a little more wait than a teenager that is just out of high school who can make a good video!!!! ( Just had to slam Lanse. He is too easy of a target Good Kid) Seriously though a beam type of torque wrench is only good if you are doing work where you can see the readout. Try torquing the main bolts on an engine while it is still in the tractor one time. You will be looking for a good click type.
