Essential tools to have for my A1

[oggfueler]

I should be getting my new to me A1 this week. The previous owner says it performs flawlessly but I'd like to be able to give the marker a good "once-over" every now and then. What tools should I have in my tool box? Are the allens for the Angels metric or ASE (I'm guessing metric). I know I'll need the pressure gauges but is one anymore important to have than the other? Here I'm guessing the LPR takes priority. I'm Paypal equipped so I'm looking at FMA as my source for the necessities. What spare parts would you guys recomend I stock up non? Orings, Breach seals and other wearable like detents would be my guess here.

With the OCD like behavior I get into with all my past times I may just end up buying enough parts to build another complete gun,,, not like that's a bad thing,,, just really expensive,LOL.

both guages, metric and standard ball end hex keys, pick set, pliers, 7/16 wrench, adjustable wrench, pliers, some kinda blade. thats about what I carry in mine. I always cary a bag of cotton tipped applicators.

Spares- id get a extra ram maybe, detents, seal kit.

When I was on my R/C kick I was just killing my Paypal account,,, Paintball is just as bad if not worse,,, I rememember when I first started playing back in the early 90's,,, used to buy the newest and greatest Up's for my Cocker just about every week,,,I wonder if getting back into this sport was a bad idea? Nah!!!

I just bought the A1 Exhaust and LPR Pressure Gauge Pack from FMA,,, I'll probably pick up the A1 Feld kit this weekend (PAYDAY!!!). Man I need a 2nd job.

Paintball is a great sport to be addicted to because it has the benefit of keeping you fit. I may be crazy but the only tools I have ever used, and I have taken the entire marker apart, are the tools that came with the A1 in the little tool kit as well as the lpr and ev gauges that I purchased. That is all I have ever needed.
