Good tools for V6 Camry

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good set of tools to use on a v6 camry. Also do Toyota use a special set of tools?
I ask because I have a fairly standard set of tools from an auto store but there a few things I can't do on my car because they don't seem to fit in some of the spaces. For example the left front steering gear mounting bolt (mines a right-hand drive so this bolt is on the transaxle side of the car) is inaccessable to me with my breaker bar and my torque wrench because the transaxle case gets in the way. The only thing I can get in there is a spanner but that's not enough because the bolt would need to be tourqed back up. On the other side the anti-roll bar gets in the way. It's supposed to be removed for access but then the only thing I can get in to the tiny gap between the car frame and the bush-mounting bolt is another spanner.
Whoever was in Toyotas ease-of-maintenance department should be shot!!!
