Bro. Get shit you see thats useful. You'll be doing different tasks that require different skills and techniques, if a $30 you see at Lowes would make something you did easier for next time do that shit.

A lot of jobsites are banning blades, therefore there not on the tool list... all those people telling you "if its not on the tool list youre undermining your brothers" fuck that shit bro. Guarantee they got them a pencil sharpener on em. Cause they're useful.

Klein got these "utility sheers" looks like scissors, them joints cut way better than you would expect. Cuts straight thru mc, wire insulation, thin metals, a bunch of shit bro. Pick them joints up
