Before you get started there's a few tools you're going to need to make the job go fast and pretty easy. First thing you're going to need is a standard utility knife pretty much the standard box cutter type knife with the throwaway blades. This is available in any hardware store in the air conditioning duct work department It's made to be in an attic and it sticks well to the foil. Also a good quality dust mask or this is what's called a half face respirator - this is about 20 bucks and it includes what's called a P100 filter. The last thing you want to be doing is kicking up that fiberglass insulation and breathing it. That's money well spent! Also a couple of clamp lights (these are handy) you can clamp them and move them around so you can see what you're doing. You always want to have good lighting when working in the attic.
