Hammers ball peen and also a 5# hammer along with a short and a long wrecking bar. Nails I get these from places I pick up at. I even have one of those flashlights that strap on your head when your alone it frees up your hands to do what you have to do. Penetrating oil,a small oil can and a qt. of cheap motor oil. I oil my wenches and binders.

You don't need any tools- this is flatbedding amateur style: one big blue Home Depot special tarp, a few straps with huge holes and cuts, (you can strap a humvee with them no worries) no chains or binders, no spare parts, lots of duct tape to put your fenders back on after everytime you back into a truck stop parking lot, and some bungees to hold your tv antenna on the mirror bracket while you drive.
