Starting Work
WILL I NEED ANY TOOLS?
No one expects you to own a full set of tools when you start work. Don't spend a lot of money to begin with. Some basic tools are all you need; your employer will tell you which ones to get. Then, as you gain more experience, you can acquire more tools as you need them.
Try to buy good quality tools, as they will last longer and prove less expensive in the long run. As time goes by you may need special tools for special tasks, but your employer will supply these as and when required. That said, having your own tools gives a feeling of independence and allows you to practice using them. You should think about buying a lockable toolbox to keep them in and you might want to insure them against loss or theft.
