    visegrips, big pair of channel locks, hammer, xtra orings for hoses(2'' and 3"), three or four clean rags.velcro safety straps for each hose connection, you should be able to get them from your company. flashlight, that's all i can think of for now. stay safe.

    How big should the channel locks be? Are you talking a 12" pair instead of a 6" pair?. I am a student so I know nothing about this. how big should the vise grips be?

    Velcro straps are great but they sometime get worn and break. Keep a roll of duct tape. I keep some neoprene gaskets for the washout caps and a couple gaskets for you air (Chicago) fittings. You might keep some tarp straps too. They come in handy for a lot of things.

    A couple feet of copper line, fittings and a cutter would have saved me a ton of aggravation on a couple of occasions. This reminds me to get some.
