Also make yourself a flange spanner as it makes it so easy to do the big stuff.

Tough choice between the ratcheting ring spanners and my Milwaukee 18v impact gun, think the impact gun wins though! I use it for almost everything possible!

A good air compressor & blow gun you can’t live without.
Bench grinder with wire wheel, plus an angle grinder & safety glasses.
A welder (I know you said you can’t weld, but get a small inverter welder & a self darkening face mask - with those & only a little practice you will be able to weld well enough to get you out of trouble. Eg. making special tools when needed, brackets etc etc. Add a couple of flap wheels for your angle grinder & you can make ugly welding look OK.
A decent heavy bench vice.
Air riveter - relatively cheap & beats hand riveting steel rivets any day.
NP99 .... I had never seen those ’Socket assists’ before.... gonna have to get some.

Cuppa, you'll find the knuckle sockets as listed above even better. Muffler shops use them for tight spaces. My son put me on to them when he was working in the muffler shop.
