Tools and equipment for the build

Nomad Life Wiki

Tools and equipment you may need for your build:

power tools

The most commonly mentioned items for a build are a cordless drill and saw of some kind. Akrvbob recommends an 18v Ryobi kit for value.[1]

Corded tools can be used with an inverter. A PSW version may help keep motor temperatures down and help with picky battery chargers.

'Circular saws, sometimes called by the brand name Skilsaws, are used for cutting lumber. Jigsaws are used for finer work. When using a jigsaw gsfish reminds us to tape the bottom so we do not scratch the camper's finish.[2]

hand tools

hammer, mallet

misc

Zipties, measuring tape, gloves, ear protection, eye protection
