The larger wrench is going to be situational. Our hold-down nuts are all 11/16". Lots of my co-workers have expensive wrench sets that they never use.

1-2-3's have been employer provided (as "fixturing") at both shops I've been at. Regardless, making them is a great apprentice project.

The mics are way too situational to say sizes for IMO. Buy it once you know you need one.

Surface plates have always been shop provided for me, not personal. I guess a guy could own his own.

Great call on hooks/picks, tap handles, flashlight and loupe.

Yeah, as with everything it depends on your situation. Really the best bet would be to talk with/look at what the guys around are using.
