Electrician:

-
Lightspeed wrench
- 8"
C-Wrench (I tried the new Crescent 8" adjustable with the sliding thumb adjustment. It's heavy and generally a pain to use, especially in the dark)
- 4 way switchable tip screw
driver - I prefer the type that has 2 different
nut drivers as well, useful for
Altman screws, among others
- Victorinox Champ Swiss Army Knife. It does everything.
- Leatherman Wave, for everything else
- Beckman true
RMS digital volt
meter
- 1 ea, of
Edison to 2P&G adapters - M->F/M and reverse, as well as a 15w lamp-on-pigtail
socket with 2P&G male
plug (needed for adding a load to an
SCR dimmer for testing)
- AA
Maglite,
LED flashlight (not happy w/ it, anyone got a good recommendation for an
LED that's bright, adjustable, AA and about the size of a AA Mag ?)
- Petzl Zipka
LED headlamp. Compact, works great, expensive
- Assorted carabiners, the real type, good for hauling ropes, attaching
drop/work bags,
etc...
- Leather gloves
- Glasses
- Hearing Aids (30 years in the business, listening to one-too-many loud audio
system, as well as it runs in the family)
- Good work shoes. Currently New Balance 747 leather walking shoes, or the waterproof version. No heavy, steel toed, hiking boots for me. I don't do trucks no mo'.
- Northface clothing, Fleece sweaters as well as GoreTex jackets. Best there is, though anything by Columbia works well too. (Remember to keep receipts, all clothing is a tax write-off, as is pretty much everything listed above - including your
cell phone).
I'm sure I'll remember other stuff later
