    Well first I need to get my mind right - no explanation it's just me!
    1. Music - any better than none (prefer classic rock) R&B, oldies, country, jazz all good.
    2. Magnets don't know how to do this work without them.
    3. Pickup & Trailer, Van and sometimes the stealth "bike" (can see & hear more from bike).
    4. Boots, Gloves (I wear both surgical & outer leather) and safety glasses - we make nothing if we get hurt!
    5. Roll Away Tool Box full of hand tools, you need the right tool for the right job (I call myself a tool *hore).
    6. Work benches (one with a large vise) I use one for break down/dismantling only.
    7. Cordless screw driver and drill (used every day).
    8. Angle grinders 2 ea. one with cut-off wheel & other with grinding wheel. If you don't have, you need to get! U make more $$$.
    9. Air compressor with as many air tools you can obtain. I use air chisel & ratchets in the break down of scrap a lot!
    10. Wire stripper - My most recent tool - bought on ebay - will let you know what I think after I get more done with it!

    I have been acquiring tools since I was 14, 40 plus years later I still buy a new tool almost every month. I have always made my living with my tools, so I make tools a priority. Most important the right tool makes a hard job just a little more easier and for sure more safe (that is best reason). THE BEST TOOL - Education!
