Need help with modding basics/tools :3

Did anyone mention the safety googles?

My general list:

Dremel
power drill + holesaw
rivet gun
file

small things are a collection of screws, some u channel rubber grommet and rivets. Krylon Fusion plastic paint too.

You might want to add a power drill and drill index.

Where would you recommend an affordable power drill for a poor college freshman such as myself in the US?

What are riveters useful for exactly?

Ahahaha I dont mind metal in my eye! :')

Sorry not sure about the power drill. I have yet to purchase my own. I just borrow my moms cuz she lives a few doors down. :P

THe riveters are useful for taking apart your chassis and being able to put it back together. :) You might want to disassemble the whole thing if you are going to paint it.
