le guide : un outil de travail à votre service
Non-PRO
French to English
Marketing
Here's the text that falls under the heading. I just can't think of an equivalent in English to "outils de travail." Can anyone help?
La première partie du guide présente tous les éléments nécessaires à la réalisation d'un stand GMR dans le respect des objectifs coûts/délais/qualité/image. La deuxième partie, présentée dans le CD Rom donne accès aux outils pratiques de réalisation.

the guide: a useful tool at your disposal
I would just use "tool", but would put the word "useful" before it for the sake of style.

Or even \"A helping hand at your disposal\" ... although that might be a little wishy-washy

yes, tools are usually for working which makes it a little redundant

I would not even use the word tool here but if you really want to:
The only tool you\'ll need to build a successful stand.
