Unlike a lot of folks undertaking a trailer restoration, I'm really short on actual TOOLS. (Computer tools and clay/craft stuff? No shortage. Actual things used for wood or metal? Not so much.) So I'm including tool purchases in here. Prior to this project, the only tools I owned were a DeWalt cordless drill, a dying Dremel (to be replaced), a 15 pound sledgehammer, a 1 pound rubber mallet, and a hacksaw.
Fair warning, I'm an Amazon affiliate. I'm only linking to products I actually purchased from Amazon, and for which I have reviewed both on Amazon and my own blog.
