What Tools Should I Bring to a Community Shop?
Asked by CraftyNinja92
I'm part of a community shop and while it has most of the tools and supplies I need, some of them are a bit worn out, like the combo squares which have dents. I'm looking for recommendations on high-quality tools that I can bring for personal use, specifically a combo square, marking knife, and anything else that could enhance my experience. I'm also interested in suggestions for a tool roll or toolbox to keep these tools organized. Thanks for any tips!

Don't forget a first aid kit! It's small but essential to have the basics handy, just in case.

Definitely invest in a good combo square; it's super versatile. I recommend going for a Starrett if you can stretch your budget a bit.

You’ll want to start with the essentials like pencils, a combo square, marking knife, and some sandpaper. As you continue to build your toolkit, focus on tools with blades like chisels and a block plane. I recommend carrying everything in a sturdy backpack with individual wraps or containers. It makes it easier to organize while protecting your sharp tools as you move around the shop.
