Re: Shop Tools, Hand Tools, HELP?
Shop Tools,
Here is what I would recommend:
Buy a tool box with several drawers
Buy a good mechanics set with both metric and SAE style wrenches which includes wrenches, rachets, and sockets.
Buy Allen Wrenches, metric and English.
Buy SAE hardware from #2 to 5/16" up to 2 1/2 inches
Specalize in 1/4 -20 either Grade 5 or Grade 8 -- Bolt Depot
It is unavoidable that some hardware will be metric.
Buy one vice with at least 6" expansion and 4" jaws.
Buy at least 6 Quick Clamps 12"
Buy a least 4 Bar Clamps with about a 18" opening.
A Drill pres will be about $350 to $500
Belt Sander is between $99 and $200.
The Stout Pro 200 is a good Band Saw
Digital Measuring Devices- Verniers about 2 is needed
Tape Measures about two or three are needed
Scribe to mark measurements before drilling or cutting
Crimpers and Strippers for Electrical
These are few things I can think of that have worked for us. We are still building our shop.
