Pencil sharpener: the first indispensable basic tool for making manuals. It is used for cutting adhesive tape, but there are many styles of art knives, some of which are beautiful and expensive. You can choose a moderate art knife.
Release paper: easy to use after adhesive tape is attached. The cheaper brands are Xiaomashu and Tirado, while the more expensive brands are Bear, Meat Ball and Zhuodawang. Both sides of the release paper are smooth.
Glue dispensing: used to stick some post-it notes or something. Recommend dragonfly dispensing, which is convenient for mass use. If you think it's a little expensive, you can buy a dragonfly glue stick. I use a color-changing model, and the post-it notes won't wrinkle at all. Can be used for a long time. Personally, I think it takes longer than dispensing.
Ruler: An ordinary ruler will do. It's used to draw borders or something.
Tweezers: I don't think it's necessary. You can tear off the tape directly and stick it on the book with a utility knife, or you can lift an edge with a utility knife and tear it off by hand.
Pad: Novices who don't use the manual don't need to buy it. Generally speaking, if you use loose-leaf books, you can buy a bigger pad, and novices can buy a smaller pad to cut the tape to prevent the release paper from being cut.
