What tools to get?

For years I've been mooching off of my father-in-law's tools but now that I live 10 hours away that doesn't work so well. I've got a very minimal compliment plus an air wrench, but I need some long sockets, torx bits, box wrenches, etc. I've got some sizes already, but never what I need...

I went over to sears today to pick up a torx bit so I could adjust the striker and figured I'd look at some big tool kits. I just about crapped myself, you can spend a fortune!


So what do you guys recommend? Do you go the bargain wal-mart route for some stuff? What are the alternatives to craftsmen and sears, for brand and store? I've definitely broken a handful of cheap sockets. How do you spec quality? Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Rob
