Tool advice

[Squirl]

For those of you who have done some sort of upholstery at home, whether the odd job or it is something you immerse yourself in what tools do you use? What jobs can those tools do? Why are those better than something else?
I am a designer so excuse the nosy questions, but I have done my basic research and I know the gist of upholstery, I have looked at some guides online and so forth but I want to see what people here know, I have not seen much in terms of DIY upholstery here. So before I go and dump money on some tools to use at home I am curious to see what you guys recommend and why. Thanks.

In terms of tools, upholstery at it simplest is cutting fabric, pulling out old staples, putting in new staples.

Scissors, a staple puller with mallet and pliers, and a staple gun.

How much upholstery you are going to do will determine what type and quality of these tools you will buy. How much and what types of upholstery you are going to do will determine what other tools you may want.
