That's a very good offer to meet a mechanic at Harbor Freight. But if it
doesn't work out, you can do a while lot with

Long nose pliers
Big pliers that open long enough to get around an oil filter. Very useful
tool.
4-in-one combination screwdriver
Box of latex gloves
3/8 ratchet, medium size. Too short won't provide enough torque, too long
won't provide enough room to work.
Set of extensions for ratchet
3/8 metric socket set that includes a 19mm socket
3/8 hex key set
Locking pliers
Utility knife
Flashlight

Of course, this leaves out a lot of handy items you might get like a set of
various hooks and right angles with strong handles, punches and drifts,
brass and rubber hammers, 1/4 inch socket set. But you can do a whole lot
with the list items.
