What's in your tool bag ?

Re: What's in your tool bag ?

I don't know about useful, but I once found an old mouldy blueberry muffin in one of my fellow techs toolcase.

Ok, a bit of nostalgia . This thread is 14yrs old and needs an update. You just have to read through the thread to see what techs used and carry back then. I make most of my tools or modify the ones that I buy. I am a shop tech and have made quite a variety of helpers from the scraps of used parts.

My favourite tool is the one I made from a 60 watt 120v led bulb that I put into a plastic tube. I broke off the head of the bulb and fitted it into the tube and attach a switch and a female copier power cord. I hate using batteries and I hate not seeing what I am doing properly. I also attached a magnet to the tube so I can place it in the close area of the work. I also made one from a very lightweight aluminum flashlight and attached a fax cord with a usb connecter at the end. I can use it if the copier is working or any usb device avaliable, or a usb battery bank .

So, what's in your bag today ?.

That's ingenious. Clearly we came from the same school. For many years, instead of canned air, I used an air mattress inflater. It's not quite as powerful as canned air, but works fine on a DF and never runs out of 120vac. =^..^=

I don't know if it is sold outside Japan, but my colleague and I prefer this electric screwdriver.
The rotational speed is fast and the torque is just right.
It is a little heavy, but I got used to it quickly.
As for the size, it is no different from a regular screwdriver.It also holds a charge well.
