I like the Lenox Saw. I had in the last 12 years. 1 died because a helper lost a part. The problem with them is if others use it they don't know how it works. The first thing they do is turn the knob (not the release button) and the blade falls out. I like the fact you can replace the blade when it dulls, or go to a fine tooth for some laminate wood. Also it does not wear out your poutch or stab your leg. Wish it was a bit lighter, but I only cary it when I think I need it.
I never got into those offset screwdrivers.
Also I would have a pen and marker with you. Pen for writting directions, orders, and filling out paperwork. Sometimes it's good to have one of those pocket note pads for writting down instructions. Such as run 3/4" pipe from AH5 disconect to panel XLM7, and pull 3 #8's & 1 #10 EG off CKT#11, 13, 15. Just in that direction the numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15 and the word to was used.
Not mentioned is Knipex. They make some great tools. Can be found at Sears or online. The adjustable pliers grab better. But Channel Lock seem better for reaming pipe because the head is wider and have some slip to them when grabbing.

Most of my screwdrivers are Klien. They do start off with the symbol at the top showing what it is. It's just better like said to keep em in the same spot so you don't have to look.
I wish they would not wear out as fast. They tend to be replaced with the same just because that's the best brand available to buy at the time.
The Fat Max tape measures are good for measuring on smaller cielings but they never seem to last me more than a month or two. I have better luck with other brands, and they are lighter.
If you do much 1/2 1" pipe work the Klien reamer is nice IMO.
Also many people including myself don't like GB tools. They sell some tools at Home Depot that are green but not Greenlee. It is Commercial Electric. They are cheap and would be good for a spare set of tools but are made of a very soft material that will not last day to day use well.
Depending where your working and type of work a pen light may be a good thing to cary. A job site with no outside light or night work can be dangerous if you loose your temp lighting.
