I was wondering what people carried with them in their tool belts on a daily basis. i tend to have a ripping hammer , cats paw, handy bar , 5 in 1, speed square , phillips and flat head screwdrivers , a couple of penclies , razor knife , tape ,plyers ,saftey glasses and assorted nails and screws. Right now I work for a painter and only need my tool belt every couple of weeks but am hopfuly going to get a job doing carpentry every day.
tools you always keep in your toolbelt

Ok. 14 oz stiletto framer or 10 oz trim hammer, tape, Swanson speed square, combination square, cats paw, knife, scribe, Tack puller, 4 n 1 screwdriver, bull nose snips, bevel square, torpedo square, mini cats paw, small cats paw/flat bar combo, small needle nose vice grips, Japanese nail set, red or gray Stanley nail set, sharpie, chalk line, drill holster, starrett miter gauge, low angle block plane, iPhone, lots of saw dust, and a sore back and shoulders.
we were having the same discussion about 5-1's yesterday and how we have found a 100 more uses for it. One of my favorite uses for it is using it to get behind trim to take it off.
I am going to put a cresent wrench in my bag and go and get a nail set, 11-1, torpedo level.
I might get a dewalt chisel set. I have a set of 7 really nice chisels I use for furniture building but don't want to take a chance wrecking the blade after spending so much time keeping them sharp. I also have a block plane I can add when I need it.

Some combination of this, depending on what I'm doing. Missing hammer and nail set. Maybe something else I'm not thinking of.

HAHAHAHAHA. It's just a radio. No tapes. I work by myself a lot, and I'm usually listening to something. Great sports/guy talk station here, and I've listened to those same guys for over 15 years. It's either that or some political crap talk show. Occasionally music. Got rid of the iPhone and went to a dumb flip phone about a year ago, so I had to go old school with an actual radio. Note the Apple headphones attached to it.SDel Prete said:

Oh yes I saw the apple ear buds. I guess if your solo no need for a job site radio. Makes sense however I couldn't listen to talk radio while working or I'd be sleeping. Plus messing up measurements lol. Seems I can listen to music and be fine thoughClaytonR said:

Before I took everything out and snapped some pictures for this thread, I didn't quite realize how much I bring with me every day.

That's pretty cool. I have always used my knife to cut a little slit in the side of the sheet for the string to slip into
