On another thread, someone linked to this scale on eBay, here. I have a very similar one from the same seller I believe and it works fine.
Mint LP is great but if you want cheap just print out a free protractor at vinyl engine and fiddle with it for a bit to get a feel for different geometries. Then if the spirit moves you go buy a Mint.
As for pliers and screwdrivers, go to a hardware store and buy them. Quality on those varies dramatically (I went through 3 sets before I was happy). I've been content with wiha screwdrivers (here) and xuron pliers (here).
No affiliation with any seller.
