Both sets are under the same link. Tekton offers a lifetime warranty on their products.

You'll need something similar to this set to replace spark plugs. Depending on the type of vehicle, it can be pretty tight to access them still.

These have been pretty good to me so far.
I keep a small set of tekton sockets/ratchet in my truck.
I am really happy with this brand, I have a good amount of their tools.

Metric, most vehicles use metric these days. Combination wrenches And 3/8's socket set
Links are for examples only, tool choice is a highly personal decision, for more help deciding visit r/tools and personally I recommend brands with lifetime, no receipt needed warranties (Tekton, Husky-home depot, Craftsman-sears, $$$Snap on, $$Mac tools, $$Matco, and for those on a budget: Pittsburgh pro from harbor freight, you'll need a receipt but they will email you a receipt if you give them your address)
this set would cover 95% of random around the house uses.
I think I'm going to grab a 3/8 set so I can be prepared for anything. The one I'm looking at has a nice compact case and some extensions. For pliers, I was mostly worried about hard to reach hose clamps and things like that. I'm wondering what to do for wrenches though. I'm looking at these double box end wrenches in 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm. I don't think I'll need anymore metric sizes for the side of the road but I'd like some SAE in case I'm helping someone else.
