Help me start and build my garage project

So I'm getting ready to start compiling my list of tools needed for my garage and I need a bit of help.

As of now, I have a 55 piece cheapy kit that doesn't have very much, and I have a 26 piece home improvement kit from Cobalt which is more for hanging pictures and has some screw drivers. I will be getting a tool chest and fully stocking my garage but I want to plan out the tools so I don't miss anything. I will most likely be getting Craftsman tools as I can replace anything that breaks very easily. So all of these tools will be from Sears.

This list will be in a constant state of evolution but please help me add and complete it.

1. Screw drivers (at least 3 flathead, at least 3 Phillips)
2. sockets, metric (4mm-minimum of 26mm) and standard (1/8"-minumum of 1 1/2") in 3/8 and 1/2
3. Allen Wrench set (including large sizes)
4. Wrenches (Metric and Standard including large sizes)
5. Low profile Jack (Arcan XL35 most likely)
6. Torque wrench
7. Pipe
8. Creeper
9. Random Orbital
10. Extension cord
11. Air Compressor
12. Pulley puller
13. Crescent wrench
14. Shelving of some sort
15. Flooring (RaceDeck or Epoxy)
16. Microfiber towels
17. Décor for walls.
18. Gloves
19. Safety Glasses
20. Cordless Drill (with flashlight on same battery Hitachi)
21. Drop Light
22. Brake stool (Tailbone)
23. Jack stands
