Subject: Tools help

From: Matt Hutchison <mhutchison@...>

MOTM'ers,
 
I'm about to start building my first kits.  Up til now I've been a software guy, not a hardware guy and I've never owned tools before... this stuff is pretty new to me.  Can anyone suggest a place to buy the following, preferably online?
 
1) Clamping magnifier
2) Heat gun
 
If you know brands, or any other details I would greatly appreciate it.  Also, I plan to build at least a dozen modules in the near future so I'm willing to get good tools.
 
Also, I tried buying some stuff from Sears, and I'm not sure if I should return it before I open it up because since I haven't started building yet and I don't know what the difference is between quality tools and crap.  Can anyone suggest something specific in the way of chain nose pliers and diagonal cutters for MOTM type work?
 
Thank you!
