Question

What tools do you need to be a carpenter?

Answer 1

You need a lot of tools to be a professional carpenter.  If you want to hit the ground running, get ready to max out a credit card.  Start with hand tools (levels, tape measures, hand saws, 9x11 sandpaper sheets), then start researching power tools.  First 2 buys should probably be a cordless combo kit and a random orbit sander.  Take a look at DeWalt...found this deal:

Then search for a sander...DeWalt, Bosch and Porter Cable all make good ones, and Festool makes the best.

That will give you a good base of tools.  Now you need to find some customers to help you pay them off!

Answer 2

All of them. ha ha  Seriously you need to start out with some basic hand tools. Hammer, tape measure, square and a tool belt to carry your tools as well as fasteners. You can then add a chalk line, levels, chisel, nail set and the list goes on. After that you may look at power tools: corded, cordless and pneumatic. It never ends. Good Shopping
