Default Best software to purchase??

Hello Everyone. I want to introduce myself, my name is Matt Trierweiler and I am a new memeber to Internachi as of three weeks ago. I just completed all of my pre-licensing curriculum and looking to expand my tool base now. I was hoping to get some ideas for the best software to buy, as well as other necessary tools, IR Cameras, air meters etc... Any input will be well received.
Thanks,
Matt

We need tools?

I am sick of you guys always raising the bar and stuff! This is stupid! Software, tools, books.

I use a note pad with carbon paper. My EYES...its a VISUAL inspection not a technically exhaustive inspection. When will you guys its NOT rocket science its a VISUAL INSPECTION.

Cameras, computers and all that other garbage is what ruins the industry that and insurance...what a waste! Keep overhead DOWN and PROFITS up....simple business sense..

They see through walls so the inspector never gets sued.makes everything easy because you have no need to train for finding leaks with them as they take Xray spec pictures .
When done with that you just poke a screw driver all over ,get a check and leave.
