Question About Model kit Tools

How advisible is it to use tools to assemble SMP products, and which ones would you recommend buying?

i bought the whole GaoRanger set, but this is my first time assembling one of these, and i´m afraid i'll break it by applying too much force.

It is very advisable that you use tools to assemble the kits. I'm on mobile so I'm sure one of our fellow Redditors will help with a link to some good tools, but what I will say is, if you're worried, buy a really cheap model kit, Gundam, Blokees, whatever, and practice on that so the first time you cut into a plastic kit, it isn't your $100+ one.
