If we are actually talking about tools you didn't know you needed, I'd recommend a large C-clamp and ball joint remover-clamp-thingy.

A Dremel with a stack of cutoff wheels.

You're welcome. ;)

OK OK OK, mine is only 24". With that set up I'd use a special socket. THAT is a hell of a breaker bar. When you use that one you have to be careful what direction you're pointed in because you may slow the earth's rotation down.

I am just saying beware of the quality of cheap tools. Many cheap sockets are cast and if you try to use them on a breaker bar (even a 24" one) they will shatter or slip. If you have a socket shatter while pulling on a breaker bar you will get hurt I guarantee it. I am not saying run out and buy Snap On tools but beware of cheap ones. There is a middle ground and it is better to buy that level.

I've used my C-clamps to press the calipers back during a pad change.
What else have you used it for?

You've already changed your ball joints ?

Nope. The ball joint remover is for replacing wheel lugs when the air tool torque monkey inspection guys destroy them.

Also, while I'm at it, a torque wrench is very important too.
