As many as you can get. You really never know when something will come in handy.
But bare minimum? You obviously need a hammer, screw driver, pliers, tape measure, duct tape, scissors, an allen wrench set, glue, wd40 and a hand saw for starters.

As an average dude who does some random shite around the house, but nowhere near a pro in any trade, I would say:
Minimum:
1) Screwdriver set. Philips, Flat and Robertson
2) Electric drill
3) Drill bit set
4) Screw bit set (the kind that comes with a bunch of bits: Philips, Flat, Torx, Hex etc.)
5) 16 oz hammer
6) Tape measure
7) Torpedo level and a 3 foot level
8) Locking pliers (come in handy for tons of shite)
9) Either an adjustable wrench or a wrench set.
10) Ratchet wrench with a bit set. I use my power tools for this stuff 90% of the time, but it can't hurt to have a manual ratchet wrench around.
Basic Woodworking:
Everything under "minimum" plus:
1) Miter saw
2) Circular saw for making long cuts.
3) Impact driver
4) Chalk line
5) Carpenter's square and/or Rafter angle square.
Miscellaneous:
1) Impact wrench. Really nice for removing or tightening larger bolts or lugs.
2) Clamp meter - You can buy decent multimeters with an AC/DC clamp for about $40. (No need to buy a Fluke - you're not going to be using it daily). These meters come in handy for battery checks, voltage, capacitor checks, or reading inrush current, etc.
3) Torque wrench - Harbor Freight has them for like $15. Nice for tightening lugs on your car to a specific specification. Can be used for any bolt or lug that needs to be tightened to a certain spec. Around the house, you will mostly only use it for vehicles or lawnmowers and the like.

Years ago I bought a little wire feed one. Less than $100, and paid for itself, the 8-10 times I used it.
For plastic weld, wait until you learn to coat it, thickly, with Baking soda, then liberally coat the baking soda with super glue. It will end up stronger than 2 mofugga's. Let it dry completely.
