Industrial Service tools you carry?

[khixxx]

I was wondering what tools everyone uses for their Industrial trouble shooting. 480v and less. What do you carry on your van or do you have a truck. Maybe a station wagon? no?

Would you pile the van full with material just in-case or just keep basics because most likely you would be going to the supply house.

My old company use to pack the Van full of junk just in-case. either way we would end up at the supply house.

Tool depends on soup du jour of jobs. Sometimes I have a run on modulars sometimes plasma tv installs. You never know with this buisness the ability to adapt helps tremendously. I have acuired quite an arsenal.

Haven't seen one of those in a while. IRD merged with Entek some years back and the combined outfit was bought by Rockwell a few years before I co-oped with them in Cincinnati. The stationary monitors are all branded Allen-Bradley now, but they're just repackaged IRD circuits. Not sure if the software has gotten any better in the last few years or not:roll:.
