If you are not willing to invest in your business, you will get very little in return out of it.
My wife and I stared out our scrap business with 1 hammer and 3 screwdrivers. First check we made we bought a sawzall.
That was 21 years ago, and now we scrap full time, and don't worry about money anymore.

Well, I have a full time job and a family, so I am treating metal scrapping as "hobby with benefits", since I simply do not have time and space to expand.
When I said that I was cheap this meant that I would buy expensive tools only when I feel I absolutely have to. And even then I prefer to buy what I absolutely have to trying to get by as much as I can with already available resources. From this discussion I see that it's a good idea to start by investing in just one tool, most likely a sawzall. But definitely not more than that.
