Hi Abram,
I don't know what you will be doing. but I do residential so I can help you out. When you first started, they probably will train you. I will be surprise if they send you out alone. Anyway the basic tools is nut drivers, wrenches, channel lock, meter, gauges, psychometric, vacuum pump, recovery machine, ect. too much to name. I would start buying little by little. cause it adds up. Did you get a job offer yet?

Might want to take an English class too. I'm serious, employers and customers do notice these things. It will help in the long run.

I gotta think that if you went to school you should have somewhat of an idea what tools you're going to need. I don't know about all of the programs out there, but when I went to school, we got a tool box with assorted hand tools, a manifold and a mulitmeter. It would be almost impossible to do anything in the lab without them. I would start with the basics of hand tools. Don't go out and buy a recovery machine or vacuum pump or any of the big ticket items. A lot of employers provide those. You'll be responsible for hand tools, maybe a drill too. I'm also with BaldLoonie on this as well, you really need to work on your grammar and spelling. How do you expect a prospective employer to take you seriously if you can't read, write and spell?

My thoughts exactly.
It also appears that our recent graduate is preparing to jump head first into the exciting world of HVAC with little real world experience. I would probably look for an apprenticeship with an established company to gain a little hands on knowledge, which would include first hand knowledge of what and why certain tools are needed.

"Going to do some on my own this summer"
Sounds like a side jobber.
Not a good way to start in this field.
Before you try that, think first about what would happen if something went seriously bad.
There are very good reasons contractors have insurance.
Having a go at it without insurance is a really bad idea.
Side jobbing is not a good way to get started.

you might want to find a company that has a maintenance department and start there .

Get the basic hand tools, gauges, DMM, and a dictionary. If your resume looks anything like your posts, I wouldn't buy any tools.
