the more hammers the better, especially a mini sledge. The two I have are labeled "Engineer's Hammer" which leads to interesting comments about stubborn parts, like "I'm going to engineer the shit out of it"

I concur on the need for BFH. Hell, half our FSAE car was built with one!!!

Basic hand tools/ratchet set, drills, tube notcher, cut off saw, SOLID quality angle grinder. They'll be a million other things you'll need. When you need it and don't have it you'll know what it is.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem

Not entirely true! I've performed many a percussive repair http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif to flaky electrical stuff over the years.....
