General tools
- Hot air gun
Not only for removing paint but also useful for SMD soldering

We still don't have a drill to make all those holes needed to improve our building. Cool would be one which can also be fixed into a vertical stand.

And kind will do, belt or flat.
- Thermal imaging camera

We have not yet started to do metal work, but there are already ideas what to build.

Always good to have in your tool box

Me have one up to 500g but would like to weight heavier stuff.
