[Boston] Purchasing tools

Hello, I hail from Israel, and will be visiting my family in Boston
in May. My father has kindly offered to buy some of the basic
equipment I need, including hammers, mandrels, and the like. I’m a
newbie, and from what I can see - I require quite a lot! I’d highly
appreciate any tool supplier info and bead/gem/metal supplier info
in Massachusetts/New England area. I think that personal
recommendations carry more weight than just a cold Internet search.
Thanx, Devora
