Re: Fiberglassing tools
4.5" grinder with an assortment of flap disks, resin disks for rapid material removal and surface preparation. *I'm personally a Milwaukee man, the ergonomics of the trigger on their newer generation of grinder blow everybody else's away.
For doing large flat surfaces like transoms, a pneumatic long board sander would be useful and they are relatively inexpensive. The long board sanders have pretty modest air requirements compared to the dual actions and random orbits.
A random orbit sander is a must for finish work. A dual action sander may help speed up the rough finish work.
If you ever see a good deal on vacuum pump, jump on it so you can do vacuum bagging. *This can save you a bunch of time and resin as well as create a stronger final product, especially when doing vertical and overhead work.
A close quarters drill for drilling holes in places with little clearance, like on the dash under your windshield.
