new start up advice for equipment

[andekoch]

HP all in one printers are bery reliable. mine is 7 yrs old now and works very very hard. Quickbooks does a free copy (with a some limits but good enough to start with) that said excel works fine for me.

definately work trouses with get knee pads (far better that jeans and look more professional) and a first aid kit plus thin gloves and clear glasses.

230V sds drill and a good battery drill (plus good quality bits, chisels and hole saws) are your every day tools not to mention the tester (multi plus voltage) and basis hand tools, hammer, screwdrivers, pliers side cutters, floorboard lifter, stanley knife, crimper, cable rods, hacksaw, pad saw, jig saw and circ saw, ladder, you may consider a core drill and cores but these can wait until you know how things are going.
dont forget:
pc, printer, biz cards, NIC/ elecsa etc membership, insurance

elsewhere on this forum is a good list of tools so do a quick search.
