Decent socket set and a breaker bar well 2 breaker bars. Stud cutter! I missed out an a dirt cheap hitachi stud cutter a few weeks back I'm still ticking about it. Did pick up a cheap Hilti one for £50 on flea bay.

I've not used rems stilsons but bss have an offer on at the minute 3 sets for the price of one ridgid...

I do very little threaded work to be honest. Loads of pressing, soldering, flanges, grooving etc

You could go mad with new tools but you might find you Don't use them for months at a time.
