• Pencil or marker
• Magnets 
• Any tool that has a hole in the handle that will fit over the hook to use as a handle and leaver

So what are the magnets for you might ask, they are for finding the sheet rock screws in the ceiling you will need to locate the rafters or upper floor joist, using the magnets will help you locate them and to see which way the are laid out so your not having to punch a lot of holes in you ceiling to find them. this is what you want your hooks to go into, now you could get toggle bolts as well but the don't hold more the 80 pounds of weight and the hooks themselves a little on the lighter side hold even less weight.

Now that you have located rafters you can see which way they are laid and start measuring and marking where your hooks need to go.
