For 90% of things i use the one below, mostly suspension work.

I also bought a small one for lower torque bolts, small 8 & 10mm bolts for more accuracy, thingy like valve covers, sumps etc when rebuilding the engine.

And last but not least the big dady for timing belts and cv joints, rated upto 750lb/ft These are silly money but i got one second hand for £70 on ebay. Total overkill but its nice to have.

Oh and pay attention to the socket drive size. There 1/2", 3/8" and 3/4" so you may need adapters if your sockets are all 1/2". And only buy hardened steel adapters if you need em, ordinary ones just wont cut it with high torque. I did a timing belt on a Honda civic and shattered 3 17mm sockets with the big wrench trying to get the crank nut off
