    Your handiest tools

    Hey everyone,

    I'm just starting to undertake DIY projects on my e30, and I've started to order parts and tools. As I'm going through this process, I keep coming to this forum to check on what tools people recommend, but I haven't found a consolidated list of recommendations. Essentially a "starter kit." So here's what I've got and what I'm planning on getting... any recommendations for specs and brands would be super helpful!
    1. Soldering iron - I picked up the Weller SP23LK Marksman 25 Watt Soldering Iron Kit from Amazon
    2. American Terminal AT-31604 60-40 Rosin Core Solder
    3. Wire crimper/striper - any specific brands or specs?
    4. Multimeter - I hear Flukes are the best, but Extech, RSR, Equus, and Mastech are also good.
    5. Heat gun & shrink wrap - No idea what to look for
    6. BMW specific tools?


    Any recommendations would be great!
