I have a progressive tone generator, and an SPL meter (although I spent a bit more than $60 for it). I am not sure what a Gerber is unless we are talking about baby food. Also what is a self laminating wire label? I am using electrical tape and a sharpie to label my wires but I'm not too excited about it. A cordless drill is deffinetly in my future, thanks for the Dewalt heads up. Thanks for your help, I wonder if any one else has that "I can't live without" tool?
