no linemens pliers or needlenose?Short.Circuit said:Just curious what kind of gear you guys wear. I've had these since apprentice days in the early 90s... work really well. I add tools depending on what I'm doing, but this is the basics...
Right side I carry a twirly screwdriver for plate screws, good phillips, good long regular screwdriver, big screwdriver for chiseling things, curved dykes, strippers, twirly wire nut driver, tape measure, razor knife, pencil, pen, felt black marker, 2 nuts drivers (popular sizes), hot stick, fine small regular screw driver (for getting wire out of stabbed devices), holster (carry hammer there or screw gun), has pocket for nut drivers I chuck in my drill.
Left side is wire nut pouch (yellows & tans in big section, red nuts in smaller one) & general small pouch (usually carry stapes there & crimp sleeves). Do mostly resi... plastic container carries staples, sheet rock screws, long sheet rock screws & plastic plumber's pipe for shimming devices, safety pin with shims from receptacle/switch ears, 8/32s, 6/32s, crimp sleeves, ground screws & tek screws...screwtips for phillips & square/canadian head drives & drill bit
Suspends help a lot, padded as well...
edit to remove silly shirt & explode bags

I thought I'd get one with the company's logo on it, looks more professional ;o) I've got a pair of yellow handled klein needle nose. Don't really use linemans, I have a crimper that is a similar size...

i was surprised no one else caught that! but lets see if he'll say that to her!
anyway, those bags are WAY too full. i wore a bag for maybe two years after i started working in the trade. i got tired of the backaches. normally, i have my kleins in the right rear pants pocket, phillips & sharpie in the right leg pocket, flathead/chisel in the left leg pocket, and strippers in the left rear pocket. i have leather tool bag that i keep hand tools in, but only just what i need for the job i'm doing. i have a large handle bag w/ two zippered sides that i carry a variety of hand tools in and will carry that into the job as well.
