Tool bags getting a bit heavy...

[Leesparkykent]

So I've had enough of lugging around my tool bag as it was feeling really heavy. It was starting to depress me every time I pulled up outside a job...the thought of lugging it up stairs etc. I've just emptied it and Ive just noticed I've lost a few things but amongst all the tools I was carrying around 55 screwdrivers, 10 pairs of cutters, 5 crimpers, 3 levels, two chalk lines, 5 Stanley knifes, 4 bolsters, 21 hole saws, 5 chisels, 2 tapes, 6 sets of Allen keys etc. Not to mention the usual build up of carp in the bottom of the bag...screws, grommets. Choc block, wagos, 7 rolls of tape, 3.5 and M4 screws and about two rubble sacks of bits of brick, plaster board dust, saw dust etc

Think he's trying out all the brands. I can see wera, wiha, ck, facom, draper, bahco in there. Any I missed Lee ?

A couple of el-cheapos from the range

The picture may have been a subtle plea for compassion by Lee
Try as I may,I see no sign of a Hacksaw of any sort

Poor chap may have dyslexia,each order for a saw added to the screwdriver collection

That's what I found out was missing...I'm going to buy 5 to match the rest of the bag

Thats good to hear
A word of caution though
We electricians generally make more use of screwdrivers than hacksaws, be sure you have your priorities in order before purchasing.

Is that a 1/4 drive Bahco socket set a spy?

What are the two tools under the hammer called...?

* Both are round with arms on them this is a question directed at apprentices or under 21's ...

That’s classic - ‘around 55 screwdrivers’ and I thought I was the only one!

I'm getting worse. I've a set I'm officially abusing, Plus the back up set for when one of them is off sulking somewhere. Then there's the set that fit the torque driver, the slim line set, the stubby set and I've just bought a Wiha set off Screwie on special. Best part is - I just don't care

Being without the tool you need is the most annoying though - I think that we are just a little more prepared than we know and it’s not until, like Lee has done, we have a good clean up that we find out what we do have. Trouble with tidying stuff up is that you can’t find it for days after! Same old!

I don't think he's gone as far as naming them all, there aren't enough names out there.

Great thing about it is that he can separate into 3 or 4 sets of tools. I’ve got Stanley tool rolls that can be grabbed for quoting or small jobs that don’t need ‘everything’.

Lee, I am disgusted by your behaviour...... I have the very same bag and it is heavy as and pretty damn full, but 55 drivers is insane mate!! I tidy my bag out at least once a month, tidy bag equals tidy mind! Or something like that.. defo need more blunties in there tho mate!

For all you tool tarts, I got a letter in post today from Toolstation with some vouchers in it, £10 off if i spend £40 and £5 off if i spend £30. so have a look in your junk mail incase you got some too.

Just noticed my 5 neon screwdrivers are missing....I'm gutted

yes mate...well handy little set. Especially for hager 3 phase boards and their silly incomer kit stubs you have to bolt on.

I went out an bought a set a while back then had another two fall into my possession, very handy little kit.

I bet the other poor guys working on the same sites as you know exactly where they all came from

I've never met him a two of them are mine, and the Bacho socket and driver set.
