-You don't absolutely //need// to have all of these things, but it sure helps! Using a tool for purposes other than those for which it was designed can be just a little more difficult, or downright dangerous. Please be safe :)

-  * Printer - For everything from quick reference guides to datasheets to documentation to PCB screens to......

-Please note that I haven'​t mentioned any PCB creation tools... I don't make my own PCB's yet, so Internet Explorer (pointed at Smash'​s Shop) is the only tool I need for this. I don't think that will last due to some other projects I'm doing (I haven'​t given upon the SRAM yet!), so I will put PCB tools up here one day, but until then, please feel free to add them yourself!
