Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums!
Looking to build my first saber but I have quite a few questions before I get started. So, I don't own ANY tools aside from the basics like allen wrenches, screw drivers, hammers, etc. so i'd like to leave out the need for drills, dremels, etc. or any expensive power tools. I know this may be difficult seeing as I want to build a saber that has sound and a lit AV latch button. I know virtually nothing about wiring but am willing to buy a soldering kit and at least do the wiring.
I've read the getting started stickies/FAQs/basic LED builds and whatnot, but they didn't answer all my questions so I thought i'd turn to the community for answers.
Here's what I have so far. Please let me know if I have any redundancies or lack certain essential parts.

Do I need the clash and swing sensors as well or are they somehow built into crouton module? Will everything fit? Do I need a larger capacity battery for everything? How would this look wired? Should I get more wire so the battery has some slack to pop out the back for recharging? Do I need the drill and tap service for the blade holder or does that specific one I chose already have it built in? What tools are MANDATORY for me to accomplish a build like this? Am I overlooking any basic/essential parts?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I look forward to your helpful input!
