Go to Canadian Tire/Home Depot/Rona/HomeHardware and get the following:
1. Small tool box
2. Screw driver with interchangeable hex bit heads...really all you need (in general) are some +, - and smaller torx bits.
3. A metric and imperial Allen key/Hex key set...you'll want some pretty tiny ones for the side screws that holds the nozzle retaining plate on. For airsoft you'll use the 1.5mm to 4mm more than any others. Dunno about you...but I've never been able to find the little tiny ones without buying a set.
4. Small hammer...you don't need a framing hammer or anything like that...just a little hobby hammer
5. smallish needle nose pliers

...nice to haves when you're starting out
- punch set...NOT a set nail sets...but pin punches
- plastic/rubber hammer
- micro screw driver set...both + and -
- valve key
- assortment of o-rings/little screws/etc..

Don't get sucked into buying the cheap tool "kits" (i.e. black plastic toolcraft or something). The tools/bits/pieces in them are just lousy. Better off to have a couple of good tools than a bucket full of crap.
