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.

Sort of depends on what we are doing...

Get one of those combo/phillips/flat screw drivers.

Add a: Tape measure, Crescent wrench, nail sets, chisel, chalk line, keel, and who knows what else is....

5 in 1 is a painters tool/scraper, 11 in 1 is a screwdriver....:thumbsup:

Old wood handled 5-1 in the truck box.

Had a Stiletto nail bar but it grew feet. That's just a Japaneses nail bar.
The folding saw is a Gomboy Silky almost the same as the Tajima.
It's the most useful tool in my bags!

I took my Disto D3 to the Gym job and it didn't take long that every guy that carried a hammer had some sort of laser measuring device...:thumbsup:
