Neiko and astro both have an 8 piece drum brake kit, (identical but for the coloring). I am curious what the black square tool in the bottom left corner of the case is for. I'I'd link to it but the address is crazy long. Thanks for the help guys

According to the description it's a "mini brake adjustment spoon". I've done many, many drum brake jobs and haven't had a need, but I'd guess that it might be of some use in very tight spaces.

For drum brakes you need a hold down spring tool (or use pliers), a spring remover (on one end of the spring of the big spring pliers), a spring installation tool (one the other end of the spring of the big spring pliers). The absolute MUST have is a pair of needle nose locking pliers like a Vise Grip 7LN.
Not that I have done a lot of drum brakes in my life, but the one tool you might need (and several times I wish I had one) is a brake drum removal tool, like a NAPA SER 833 or a OTC 6980. It is possible to modify a typical 3 jaw gear puller to extend the grip range by replacing the following links with longer ones.
