My $.02 regarding tools. I bought the tool kit from Cleaveland and have
been satisfied with the quality and service I've received from them. Sears
supplied the rest of the stuff I've been using. 9" band saw, bench top
drill press, bench grinder, Dremel tool with flexible extension, air
compressor ( oiless) and torque wrenches. My space was limited and to be
honest I'd have bought a larger band saw and drill press if the room was
available but these have been fine. The compressor is a noisy SOB and would
buy an oiled version if I had to do it over. I don't plan on painting the
plane myself so an oiled compressor without the driers and oil/air seperator
would work great. The Dremel tool has been indispensible for trimming and
polishing. It occasionally has been used to final drill a hole ( using the
flexible extension) when nothing else would work. All torque wrenches
should be certified yearly or after being dropped if you want to use them
for aircraft construction. I have an independent lab in town that my IA
sent me to to do this and the Sears wrenches have always been dead on. Hope
this helps!
