We were also informed that the duckbill pliers we purchase cannot have straight left-to-right serrations on the jaws. Apparently we will be pulling safety wire with these pliers, and those straight, sharp jaws will nick and damage the wire. Some duckbill pliers have a cross-hatch type of serration, which is acceptable.
I saw probably a half-dozen or more published tool lists on the web before I got this one from my instructor. There are definitely some things they all have in common (12 point sockets and end wrenches, screwdrivers, files, multimeter) but this list is also very different from some other lists I've seen.
This list includes tools not found on other lists, and other lists are longer than this one. So, if you want to start buying tools ahead of time, don't.
And if you can't resist, then buy only the basic things you either know you'll need, or you won't mind having around the house.
When sourcing tools, sales and specials are great, but eBay is always there.
