M3 Hex Nut Driver. Filastruder or Amazon
0.5 Ton Benchtop Arbor Press is ideal but a bench vise will suffice.
2x 4 inch Quick-Grip Clamps for squaring the frame. These are sold in 2-packs, so one pack will suffice.

1 pair conventional wire cutters
1 Wire Crimpers, specifically SN-58B
1 pair hard wire cutters for cutting spring guide and wire rope. Note that cutting these parts with conventional wire cutters will destroy the wire cutters.
