Body Tools
I am new to body work and I would like to start buying some of the tools I will need. Almost 90% of my regular tools are snap on or matco, I guess I dont see the point in buying hammers and dollys ect from them. What is a good place to buy some decent body tools for a decent price? If any one is really bored it would be nice to have a list of what tools to get and what I would use the most and tools that I probobly have not heard of that would make my life easier. What kind of sander would you reccomend? I am working on a 1969 Bronco, the body is really straight (some small dings) No rust. But its faded and has had some previous body work done so its half primer and half origional paint, faded ect ect. Also what is a good grit to start with for removing paint? I am doing this outside for now so would anyone reccomend using a light coat of rattle can primer over areas that I get down to bare metal? Thanks everyone, sorry for so many ?'s!

For hammers and dollies, a good value for the money is our 7 piece fiberglass handle hammers and dolly set (we also offer an economy hammer and dolly set). If you are new to body work, a tool that I consider a "must have" is a DA. For stripping paint, I like to use my 7" angle grinder with these poly-x paint & rust removal discs.
