The little Cherry microswitches have a terminal labelled "COM" -- for "common," which is the same as "ground."

No problem -- you really want to get Saint's book, though. Amazon had it for <$20, last I saw.
Also, there are some good threads on the "Project Announcements" forum with pictures of the undersides of several people's control panels. That should get you started in the right direction.

Do you mean power tools for building the cabinet, or tools for wiring?
You said you've already got a 'crimping tool'; I'd imagine whatever it is also has a wire stripper on it- that's all you need to wire the controls to an IPac or KeyWiz.
If you mean power tools- eh, yeah. You really need to read Saint's book.
