A drill is handy.... could use a hammer at a pinch!

 

[gregers]

PLASTERS,or at least insulation tape,oh and super glue works just as well just stings a tad when you use the activator or water

 

[EddieM]

Someone to blame for your cocks ups I find can help.

A bad workman always blames his hammer

A copy of the "Sun" Newspaper is obligitary for reading during Tea Breaks.

Now funny you should mention the Sun. Going back a bit the Sun had a football strip called "Striker" which they dropped , although it later came out as a seperate comic book. The foreman of the site I was working on instantly banned the paper from site and started a campaign for the strip's reinstatement . If I recall there was an article about it in the paper ( or maybe it was a local paper) soon afterwards.

I read the FT during coffee breaks

Yes broadsheets do have the advantage of doubling up as dust sheets

I'll bet that gets the customers worried about what the bill will be!

I'll add a torch.
And mole grips.

And a very small bloke with double jointed arms and hands to get at the (fill in as appropriate) in the totally inaccessible place where the last very small bloke with double jointed arms and hands put it.

Assuming the Op is thinking about starting up I'll try and give a serious answer.

I have one general toolbox that goes on all jobs and then specialist ones for plumbing, electrical and decorating.

The general toolbox contains

Spirit level
Several punches
Allen keys
Hammer

Jr Hacksaw
Many screwdrivers
Pry bars
Assorted pliers
Mole grips
4" and 8" adjustable wrenches
Metric spanners
Hole saw set
Several stanley knives
Screw removers
Steelfixers nips
Square
Ruler
Scissors
Cordage
Pencils
Marker pen
Scraper
Putty knife
File
Hylomar Blue

and probably some other stuff I can't remember.

...and a man to carry it?

I've gone for a plumbing box, an electrical box, a woody box, a cars box, a decorating crate, a screwdrivers box, and so on.

 

[ntb]

It is a bit weighty. It used to be worse - I removed some stuff e.g. sockets, duplicate screwdrivers etc. when I started getting a right arm like a fiddler crab.

 

[gregers]

dont forget the utility knife

Anything less than this and you are wasting your time !!
