Jesus christ,

hammer
pliers

Job done.

That was a joke by the way, the next thing you need is a site box because that stuff is gonna fly off site!

 

[Tidy Max]

A chisel/pry bar would be handy. You look geared up for mainly commercial work!

 

[moby1991]

like a van vault sort of box

what kind of tool for domestic use

the veto pro pac xl will just about get all of the tools in

You're wondering what else you need????

How about a labourer to carry it all??

 

[Tidy Max]

The van vault was a joke, i was implying you have alot of gear and alot of people will have their eyes on that shiny stuff!

You look pretty kitted out. All of your tools are pretty ideal for commercial use. But when your doing domestic work you will need a couple of pry bars, wide chisel etc for lifting boards and pulling nails out for relaying boards.

A rod set is always handy, super rod do a 12" set i think which is good for lobbing in a tool bag.

thanks mate

You might want some pozi drivers as well as the philips and possibly modulo +/- drivers.
a small bolster is also handy occasionally.
and some power tools!!!

Pozi drivers are a must, safety items as per Glenn, a pack of all the most essential little bits (screws/Wagos/fuses/PVC tape etc) so that you don't get into the frustrating situation of having all your tools but not the one simple everyday object needed to do a quick fix. But more than these, you need to add DIRT.

ive got a bosch gbh 36vfli sds, dewalt combi and impact driver top of the line got a great deal on them

 

[moby1991]

left out proving unit but ive got one and ive ordered a lockout kit

 

[moby1991]

got one there great

 

[moby1991]

didn't include them in got electrical tape in different colors, got whole range of fuses

 

[Essexboy7]

They all look brand new!!!!If you turn up on a building site with that lot the blokes will pish themselves laughing.

But seriously if you want to look the part you need to put that lot in a Tesco bag when you turn up on the first day

You need a good selection of tobacco tins to keep plug top fuses & various screws, crimps & odds 'n' sods in.

You need to carefully think what you will use.

The work we do is varied and its anoying having to throw your 20kg+ bag around.

Or altoid mint tins are good if you don't smoke ( i use them for my small drill bits)

That lot looks like it cost a few quid. Spend a bit more and get it insured.

Too true. It's so tempting to take everything that you think might be useful - I'm sure my arms have stretched a few inches over the years carting tools about that weren't needed in the end. The main briefcase toolbox is 32kg in 'normal' mode and 19.8 in 'flight' mode. There are four others depending on what I think I will be doing, total over 120kg, so recently I had a purge of everything I 'never' used from the main tool box. All I could bear to leave behind were three tools.

scratch you marker into that lot and add some leccy tape to identify it if someone borrows it! if your doing sitework I would put in a permanent marker and a pen and a note pad and some chewing gum nurofen and zip ties, if its your first day on site then take sandwiches and drinkswith you, that way you never have to leave your toolbag alone, then at the end of day 1 you can take it all home and just bring in what you actually need for day 2. good luck and don't forget if you don't know what your doing ask if they can go through it again so you don't make any errors. sounds better that I don't understand

A dremel engraver is only £30 and is the best thing.

A tip i got off stepdad brill 2 or 3 small holes in screwdriver handle then put different perminant inks in holes. No way they can hide or get rid of marks then
