8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 are the main ones you'll need and can usually be found in a standard set.

Look for a black Friday sale at your hardware store or big box (HD or Lowe's). I would suggest a 3/8" set of metric. That 28 mm will most likely be 1/2" drive and not included in any set, but a Harbor Freight breaker bar won't break the bank and will do the occasional job quite nicely.

Humph - just checked HF - their 12" drive metric set has the 28. Not the best quality, but pretty much adequate quality. http://www.harborfreight.com/16-pc-12-i ... 67988.html

And don't forget your 20% coupon from Car and Driver or Sail or whatever mag you can find.

You won't need an impact wrench. Or a sledgehammer.

Don't forget the 20s...like 20mm, 21mm, 22mm. One of those is used to change the belt. (I forgot which one, but I know I used one of them.)
