Here's a
list from
IATSE local 33.
So many IA guys, so many hammers and pry bars (SCARY)... I expect everyone who shows up to a
call to have a
crescent wrench and a multi tool, as well as gloves. A tape measure it also a good bonus. I have two different sides to this whole thing. If you are working in a scene shop, you need all marking tools and some measuring tools, the smaller variety of them :Speed square, 25' tape,
etc. You should not have to bring in your own framing square
etc.
PPE should be REPLACED by the shop, buy you have to buy your first ones. Same thing goes for anything you use in the shop, if you bring in your own
chalk line, they should provide you chalk, same thing for dikes
etc. If you wear it out at the job, they should replace it.
When working calls on the other
hand, I usually bring in most of my own tools, however same rules apply. I bring in my own stuff to do most things, but I do not bring in specialty tools.
My major rule is, if it does not fit into one of my bucket boss bags, I don't take it in. It should not be your personal responsibility to buy everything you need to do the job, you need the basics but the rest should be provided for you.
