mmm can see voltage tester...but no lock-offs...:goofy:

Only proddin'... to be honest,you will ONLY ever have two sets of gear,in that bag....the stuff you never use...and the stuff you haven't got...

All of it boils down to what you do the most,how far you are from the rest of your tackle...and how strong that bag/arm is :rolleyes2:

Can't see any thrashing chisels here?! Nice and neat though, must've got rid of all the odd screws and bolts that mine is full of!

My voltage tester is next to the square. I don't use lock offs because I just do domestic so I normally just disconnect the Circuit I am working on. But that's why I want to know what other people have in there bag. I am a joiner by trade and want to make a generic insert for a box rather than a bag. So I know to include lock offs.

[emoji23] only have 1 next to the good chisels. Do you have more than 1. Is there anything that's not needed or need to add? Except the bolts and screws[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

ill empty my bag later (will take a while)

ive got lockoffs, earth leakage tester etc in my mft box

shanky887614 · Oct 12, 2015

why no proper setsquare and only one pair of grips?

Yes I have 2 that used to be wood chisels but have been abused. Looks pretty good, you usually find what you like through using them but I personally like the wera screwdrivers as they have a nice hard tip that doesn't wear down, a bahco posi as it has a good long handle for good torque/leverage. Only other things I can think of that you don't have is a box threader. One of those insulated hex keys for doing up tails into the self connect switches and a lock off kit would be handy too, got a lock off kit from wholesalers for about £45 I think and it is reassuring to use. And a box template is handy too, suppose it depends what you're up to.
