John, Welcome to the Elecraft ranks. I know you will enjoy building the K2 and enjoy operating it even more.
I built my K2 S/N in 1998 and have used it a lot, mostly portable. If you are even contemplating adding modules to it, get the rework eliminators. Some of the add-in modules require the removal of components. With the rework eliminators, those components go on plug-in boards that are "place holders" for the add-in modules, so when you are ready to install an add-in, you simply unplug the rework eliminator and plug in the add-in module. The parts to be removed are located on the rework eliminator.

I have read the various FAQs, tips, etc. I am not new to kit building. We have a good soldering station. If the K2 works out well we will use it on CW for a while and then add enhancements: SSB first then others (perhaps DSP, 160M, 60M-Xvrter, 100Watts).. Are there tools or tips I am missing before I drop the coin?
