I guess I have a couple obscure items I carry around that nobody else does.

  • Greenlee Non-Contact Voltage Detector
  • Greenlee GT10 Polarity Cube
  • Silver & Black Sharpies
  • MacGyver Screwdriver
  • Multimeter
  • Laser Tape Measure
  • 6pc Mini-Screwdriver Kit
  • 6" C-Wrench & 8" Autowrench
  • MiniMag
  • Pocket Knife
  • Multitool
  • LED headlamp
  • Portfolio w/
    • Personal calendar for the next 3 months
    • Notebook
    • Business cards of other people
    • Few dozen of my business cards
    • Bink's Audio Test CD
    • Project-essential paperwork

Speaking of which, if anybody doesn't have a non-contact voltage detector, I strongly advise getting one. You can hold it up to a cord or an outlet and immediately know if it's engerized or not. I can rule out poor connector wiring or dimmer issues when certain lights aren't coming on, and tell if it's a lamp issue or not right away. All you have to do is point it next to a cord and it will beep if a cord, circuit, or anything else is live or not. The best part, it's cheap, under $15.
