* I used a (not listed) Roto-zip instead of some other tools, to cut out windows, vent openings, A/C opening, and the doors (because I already owned one), and the main tools I used also weren't listed.
* Since I used steel brackets (plus PL adhesive) to clamp the plywood together, I used a 7/16" "combo" (box/open) hand wrench, a 1/4" drive cordless impact with 7/16" socket, and a cordless 3/8" drill with a 1/4" bit the most (I bolted it together using mostly 1/4"-20 stainless carriage bolts, stainless fender washers, and stainless locknuts). The cordless impact and drill were used wherever any screws were needed, too. I started my project using my friend's Snap-On tools at his shop, and bought my own cordless Milwaukee tools when I finished the trailer at my garage. I don't know how I would've done the project without them.
* Another necessary item, not listed, is a welder. My original frame was enlarged and strengthened using the friend's Mig welder, then when I re-did my frame and axle a couple of years later, I did it at my garage with a 110v flux welder (I also bought a 220v unit, but never used it). Lots of builders need one, even if just to modify a frame, just a bit.
* Other necessities: multi-meter, soldering iron, wire cutter-crimper, a BFH, and miscellaneous hand-tools deserve a place on your list, also.
