Yes, plastic organizer boxes did help. In the craft section at
Wal-Mart. Sorted and inventoried parts and put caps, diodes, resistors
in one, and misc hardware in the other. Helped out quite a bit.

Must haves
==========
Good light
Magnifying glass
Dental pick
Negative lock tweezers (big ones do not send parts flying)
Good Multi-meter
Handy items
===========
Frequency counter - or you can wait till all is complete and use
WWV/Spectogram
Capacitance meter - not required, but it helped me with identifying parts
The rework eliminators are useful, as mentioned. Also some of the
Elecraft mini-modules are big help in filling out some of your test
equipment for alignment. I have the noise generator and the one for
setting the S meter, but I wished I had picked up the dummy load and a
couple of others.
K2 is a great project. Real straight forward, and great think tank here
to ask questions to. Best of luck to you.

OK so I have decided to buy the base K2 kit and build it along with my
son; He needs to see a process like this unfold.
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?
John
