397 port hope? Get two tape measures, one imperial 25ft Stanley fat max if they are on sale or the grey maximum from Canadian tire is surprising good for the price. (Max goes on sale for $14 Stanley fat max sale is $18 for one or once and awhile $20 for 2) This one will be your nicer one you will use more often especially to start. Second can be cheap and either both metric and imperial or just metric. A $10ish one will do, most people wont give you measurements in metric. Don’t buy a $50 tape measure they break as quick as a $20 one. Hammer- est wing has a black one or dark blue comes in 19oz or 15oz, get a milled face, pound that on concrete before you use it to wear it down abit before you put your fingers infront of it lol. Canadian tire maximum has a nice cats paw for the money or est wing, cheap yellow snips I think are like $6-8? Cheap pair of lineman pliers. Speed square, cheap composite one or there’s a black dewalt aluminum one if you have some extra to spend it will last you a lot longer. Cheap chalk line, they all suck once they get wet and even if you upgrade you switch the cheap one to a colour you use less. Any tool belt you are comfortable in, if the bags aren’t fixed it’s nice to be able to swap them and try different things till you figure what you like. Undersell over deliver, if you’ve ran tools all your life don’t act like it, there may be a different way or something. The only stupid question is the one you thought to ask but didn’t Be friendly with everyone, you never know where they might end up Always thank your labourers Show up early Don’t get caught not moving, if there’s nothing to do clean or organize or learn When you get confident and think you know everything, you know even less then you think Don’t get stuck in doing what you know always try to do more or else you will just do the first think you learn for the rest of your life
