Lead man's tools.

Lead man's tools.

I have seen your tool list. I would like to know your preference on a frontline diagnostics/meter list. I'd like to see how ours differ. I can predict long winded conversations on this topic. Construction lead man or maintenance lead man? Don't ask me why the difference.

I'm not sure who you're asking, but the Fluke T5 is my every day meter for most basic things.
 
On the tools, why a Greenlee 727 cable cutter? I have one of those as well as the Kleins and it seems like the Kleins cut much easier.

I am talking ALL meters. The T5 isn't even RMS. As far as a Lead Tech's frontline meter list goes, what would you choose as a complete arsenal and why?

Another scenario,...... if you could have ANYTHING you wanted in a service bag as far as testers and meters, what would it be, and what do you carry?

As far as meters and test equipment goes, I only carry but a few, but can run and get the weird stuff that I only use once or twice a year. I carry a Fluke T5, Simpson 260, Fluke 187 True RMS, Wiggy, Supco M500 megohm meter, Megger MIT200 megohm meter, a big old Hewlett-Packard nanovolt/micro-ohm meter, fox and hound, Bell 610 Gaussmeter, some phase rotation meter that I don't know the brand or model, and an Ideal 805 power quality analyzer which I also take my amp measurements with. Sometimes I have a wire locator on the truck, and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I have an IR temperature gun and a capacitor checker, and sometimes they're on a shelf. Depends on the phase of the moon.

Wow. Are you a factory electrician? or do you carry all of that on your truck? You must be a testing guy if you carry all of that on a truck. I just carry the things I need to take basic measurements, because it aggravates me to need to check something and I don't have the proper equipment to take even the most fundamental basic measurement or test.

But I have to ask, what is your vehicle?

I have a standard length van and don't think all that will fit with the tools I carry.....

I operate Step Vans. The material stock list, along with the tools, also fits in a cube van with a 10' box so I am told, much like the one's 220/221 pictured. I think his stock list is probably very similar to mine, judging by the number of small parts bins he seems to have in there. I really keep more things on my own truck than are on the list, but these are things that don't really take up much room but come in handy. Fixture parts and lamp parts, for instance. I also don't seem to have canopy switches on the list, come to think of it.

Yeah, maintenance and problem solving is where it's at for me. I did my part in construction, but it wasn't my game. The only thrill I got out of construction was running pipe and sinking it in the hole every time.

What do I like the most out of my job? It's when I have a manager making well into six figures and a multi-million dollar piece of production equipment that is down and they're almost in tears. When she's back up and running full speed, and the manager is again almost in tears, but yet that of joy, and asking for a cell phone number to reach me at any hour. That's satisfaction, for myself, and the customer.
