So what would your basic toolkit include.
I'd like to see two lists one for the simple tasks that even the beginner with little experience person would use one for the more 'complex' if that is the right word task see what people come up with even if someone has already said it put it in YOUR kit list no detail is to small 
thanks everyone D A N N Y Last edited by Focal Fury on Sun Sep 07, 2008 1:22 am, edited 2 times in total |

I'd add a power supply to the list. I love my 12v supply that allows me to test before I install everything.
