HEY! I have you know, I've been a Ham Radio (Extra class), since I had a full head of hair!

And, not so 'inexperienced', I've worked on also sorts of electronics
(mostly microwave stuff) at MIT-LL.. (Now fully retired as of 2014).
And, I had to wire up the 120 & 240v stuff to power the gear I built..

I am the expert MiniSplit installer, in my house anyways..

Anyways, thanks for bringing up tools. Woody should find a recent MS install (I forget which one),
that has a inventory list of needed tools, for a full-bore DIY install.
I think it has links and prices too! Nice info to have!
Just in case you might want to go that route..

Some folks think owning a bunch of tools that you may not have to use again,
is a waste. But, in a couple of years, you start having R410a problems.?.

I never figured on doing a second install.. I had to be sold on the idea.
It was faster and easier the second time. (no concrete pad, for one thing).
It was very nice to have the tools on hand..
