To start the project you need the tools, to begin with. It’s hard to imagine working on a project only to realize you are missing a Rivet or an Allen Key at a point of frustration. The best thing to do is to put together a list of supplies you will be needing for your future projects. The idea is to self-help yourself for better management, saving money (big times), and saving trips back and forth. 

If you love your money the way I do, then you need to learn the tools you must need to have on your workstation at the end of the day. 

Smaller hand tools are most used. Take a hammer, screwdriver, corner square, measuring tape, and so on. Categorizing the workbench size-wise is the best thing to do. It’s smart and witty. Save you a lot of time. 

Begin with the smallest tools. Place the open-end blind rivets first. Arrange them color-wise (if you have any). 

Place the hammers in the same order. The screwdriver set must be placed on the right side. It’s an effective setup that literally helps the worker to easily access the hand tools while working on the project. 

Make separate small sections for nuts, bolts, screws, and nails. These are smaller than rivets. For any DIY project, they should be placed on the left-hand side. The next tool to add to your workbench is a must - the drill. It can be a manual or pneumatic drill. Depending on the given budget and quality of the work. 

Thanks to enough suppliers I have managed quite an inventory of all the supplies. Especially shipping these tools can eat your project right out of your budget so try for Albany County Fasteners for some good luck, to begin with.
