Any idea what type of commercial installation?
Judging by the tools they asked you to bring you're probably doing duct wrap (insulation). Have a pair of snug fitting work gloves with the rubber palms.
As for general tools:
Klein 11-in-1 (philips, flat head, 1/4 5/16 3/8 nut driver)
Vise grips
needle nose pliers - like these
Channel locks - a set like this is nice. for everyday use you only need the larger channel lock and the needlesnose
Ratcheting set - something like this. there are cheaper options available. Pro-tip, get a carabiner and slide on 1/4" up to 3/4" since those seem to be the most common.
Utility Knife - I prefer these over the sliding ones especially when working with fiberglass
Tape measure - this is the one I've had for the longest.
Adjustable wrench - large and small are good to have
most importantly!
memo book / notepad
ballpoint pen
2 or 3 black sharpie markers
For the first day you probably won't need them, but aviation snips are good to have. Bender and crimper's are good to have.
I noticed someone mentioned an impact driver. First day? I don;t think it's necessary. By your first pay check you should definitely get one though. Talk to the guys in your shop and see what they use. Each worker, company and type of HVAC will demand a different kind of screw gun / impact driver. Rather than dumping a couple hundred on a machine that may not be best for the job, just see what they are using. Maybe pickup a tip set though, just in case. If you have to borrow a screw gun for any reason you'll at least have your own tips.
