Is there already a thread for this?

Guys, I have decided I would like to buy all the neccesary tools for rebuilding and servicing saw engines. I would like to start a thread for this here, if there isnt already.
They don't have to be Snap-on, Mac, or Craftsman.
I would rather buy Harbor-Freight, Northern Tool, or Autozone and save money. If they don't last, I will just replace when necessary.

I think I need to buy:

Measuring devices such as:
-feeler gauges
-mm piston measurer

Compression tester and fittings: (I know there is a sticky for this) But also for doing leakdown or detecting crankcase leaks!

-ring tool
-piston clip removal tool

-honing kit

-ring compressor (to re-install piston)

anything else??

I have a quart of muriatic acid I bought from the hardware store, and q-tips. I think I need 400 grit sandpaper.

I have Borcoradi's (sp?) email I think, and ebay's link for OEM parts.
