What tools do you pack with you?

^^^^^^^^
This. Don't bother with one of those glad hand hookups. I have twin tanks on my tractor, and put a quick connect on one of the drain outlets, works fine. However, you should get a spare quick connect to plug in for when you just want to drain your tank for the night....

 

I also carry a blow gun for my air hookup, as well as a small shovel. Danged operators usually too lazy to clean mud/rocks/whatever off their equiptment, especially tracked machines. I'm not interested in paying for someone's cracked windshield, or an "Unsecured Load" ticket for crap falling off.....

 

What kind of small shovel do you use, one of those that fold up like the military uses?

 

Probably a small garden trowel if he's paid hourly....

 

- Bolt Cutters
- Channel Lock Pliers
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Pocket knife (Buck Knife, no Serrations sharp enough, but not so sharp I had to worry about breaking it.)
- Rubber Mallet
- Pry Bar
- Packing Tape (Clear)
- WD40 / Paint Scraper [HazMat Placard Removal so much easier with these two]
- Multi-tip Magnetic Screwdriver
- Zip Ties
- Bungie Cords
- Duct Tape
- Electrical Tape
- Socket Set (Small)
- Small Drill (makes replacing a mud flap take all of about 15 seconds)

That's all I ever really needed and most of it I used sparingly. That was as a Company Driver though.

 

Lots of duck tape pliers screw drive pb blaster wd40 wrenches chalcks air hose for tires gage more duck tape fuses needle knoses cutters more pb blaster grease grease gun tubes of grease hevy duty flash light

 

I have a cordless hammer drill

 

Nice, which one? I was think about the Milwaukee 18 volt myself.

 

The Milwaukee is super nice, 1100ft lbs of breakaway torque, more than enough to take off lug nuts in most cases.

 

I currently have a craftsman tool kit, 1/4, 3/8 and some 1/2 sockets, prybar, pb blaster, grease and grease gun, 50ft air hose with chuck, 8lb mini sledge, regular claw hammer, multi meter, screw driver set, big and small crescent wrenches and big & thick gorilla tape
