Tools you can't live without

[Danakona]

Hi everyone,

So recently we were quite fortuitous and came upon a grant that will allow us to buy some tools. We don't have much time to spend the money, so I wanted your opinions on the best tools you have in your shop, or ones you definitely couldn't live without.

So far, we're going to try to buy some more CAD software for off-season practice, a mini-mill and lathe, and some nicer hand tools that we always seem to break or lose. One team recommended a miter saw with metal blade, another recommended re-stocking our supply of various screws nuts and bolts - so we're really up for any suggestions.

We can also look towards electrical equipment and we're really open to any out-of-the box ideas, I just need them soon. Thanks guys!
