Most handguards now come with a wrench for the barrel nut.
You will want a torque wrench.
Punch set
roll pin punch set
castle nut wrench
This is not needed but will save yourself a major headache.

I feel like I'm missing some stuff but I assume you have a hammer and allen wrench set.

speaking of brownells, get their bolt catch pin punch. it helps from marring up your receiver.
