How many teeth is that Gearwrench ratcheting pistol grip? Seems like the same design as the Bahco for the LED version but with a pistol grip. Pretty sure it's the same Taiwanese manufacturer.
Edit: found it it's a 45 tooth design. Is it plastic for the switching mechanism like the Bahco one as well?
From what I can think of off the top of my head, you need 1/4 to 1" SAE combination wrenches, including 11/32" that most don't come with. The box ends need to be 12 point, not 6.
Angle screwdrivers
1/4" drive shallow 12 point SAE socket set,
a few different length 1/4" extensions,
1/4" ratchet (I prefer the this Pittsburgh from harbor freight, i have abused one for a number of years now with no issues)
1/4" drive breaker bar
1/4" swivel adapter. (Eventually you will want a whole set in 12 point, don't go cheap, this is where Snap-on is worth it)
A 1/4" drive semi deep or deep well 6 point SAE set is nice but not necessary to start.
3/8" drive shallow SAE12 point socket set
Various length 3/8" drive extensions
3/8" drive ratchet (I prefer the swivel head Pittsburgh here as well, with the green handle)
3/8" drive breaker bar
3/8" swivel adapter
A 6" steel ruler marked in normal inch markings (inch decimal markings you will need for most sheetmetal jobs outside of school)
Fine pattern flat and rat tail files,
(We had to have a rifler file for blending the damage out of an aluminum propeller blade for my school)
Duck bill pliers
Slip joint pliers
Needle nose pliers
Water pump pliers (this is where a splurge on knipex is worth it)
Diagonal cutters for safety wire and cotter pins these types are worth the extra money because of the extra reach and leverage, especially the mini ones in this pattern for safety wire work in tight areas
Once you graduate you must have flush cut dikes for tie wrap tails, or everyone will want to kill you by cutting off one digit at a time. this from harbor freight are all I use now, after many different types broke and wore out from snap on. They even have a lifetime warrant on them.
Feeler gauge set
Allen key set
Hacksaw and blades
Every set shows tin snips, Wiss is worth the money and normally found at home depot, cheap ones will mangle cuts and make you frustrated.
Punches in different diameters, easily found in a set at hardware stores
Chisel
Ballpeen hammer
Mallet
I would go for the knock off knipex pliers wrench from harbor freight over any adjustable wrench
Vice grips are something the FAA hated years ago, but both sets I linked include them now, and I have a whole row of multiple sizes and types in my toolbox.
If you get safety wire pliers (jet twisters) get reversible ones, most schools won't let you use them, but in the industry you need them for speed. Snap on or tiger wave are worth the money .
An extendable magnet and mirrors in multiple sizes are definitely needed for the industry, along with the extendable fingers. Any place that sells parts or tools has them
Get a screwdriver bit holder for the speed handle and you won't need a screwgun, or will have a great backup for when your battery dies. Every aircraft is a massive constellation of screws that hold access panels on, you will always need a ratcheting screwdriver. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CT9LQ3U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) has extra torque, built in lights and internal bit storage. I have one and use it often.
Add a ratchet adapter to the speed handle setup for areas you can't swing the handle 360 degrees. You will also need a 3/8" female to 1/4" Male socket adapter.
You can carry this whole set in a pelican case with wheels, either 1500 or 1600 series, even if you end up working in a hangar the case will be excellent for road trips. I rock the Apache knockoff from harbor freight, with this set of tools in it.
I know you have a required list, here's what I recommend based on my own personal usage
