In today's video, I go through all the tools that I keep at my workbench. If you're new to the hobby, it's good to start out small, and add to your tool collection a little at a time.
At the minimum, you should have an X-Acto knife and some extra blades, a set of small tip screwdrivers, a small file set, some sanding sticks, an NMRA gauge, a Kadee height gauge, pliers and tweezers.
After that, add whatever you need to move forward on current or upcoming projects. You should be able to find tools at your local hobby shop, big box retailer, train shows, and ebay.
Did I show a tool in this video that you have never seen before? Did you see anything that I am missing? Let me know in the comments below!
