    Pick a Cutting Tool

    You have two choices here.  If your #1 priority is saving money go with a hacksaw.  But please don't totally cheap out here.  We don't want to turn you into a swearing sailor  Here is a table of hacksaws we would recommend buying (notice they are all high tension).

    Nut Drivers and/or Adjustable Wrenches

    Tekton Nut Driver Set

    For installing bolts as needed we recommend getting some nut drivers that attached to a drill.  However if you are on a tight budget an old fashion adjustable wrench or the appropriate size manual wrench will do.
