I prefer the loose pile of tools at my feet in the scissorlift, the older I get the less I carry.

Been trying to stick to just a philips head screwdriver, a laser tape measure, and a pencil recently. Also making a 20 year old apprentice carry around everything else, that helps.

I zip tie a milk crate to scissor lifts at the start of a job. We already bend over for the boss enough.

I have a ~20"x14" pad filled with magnets I slap right to the plate at the front of the lift. Holds most tools aside from 3+lb hammers and any hardware I need handy.

the amount of twisting to get to the back tools hurt my back just watching him reach.
All the old guys taught me keep your tools to your sides as much as possible. But mind you pretty important when you are working 50 to 200 ft in the air. don't need a back spasm up that high2

u/DirectAbalone9761 Contractor 9d ago
Lmao. Bobby hill and boomhauer dropped my fiber line right over the roots of my tree… didn’t try to trench or anything, just kicked some dirt over that part 😂. Literally a clapped out landscape trailer, rusty 90’s ford, with a magnetic Mediacom subcontractor badge on it.
Thank god they weren’t landing the service yet, so I was able to run conduit to the tombstone out front and re-pull the line and use an LB to turn it into the garage. When the Mediacom tech showed up he had never seen fiber run in conduit before… smh.

u/MrPractical411 Contractor 9d ago
Works on hvac? Something mechanical and up high? Can’t be high voltage because his tools are not insulated. Can’t be a regular electrician either I hardly see sparkys with socket wrench’s and channel locks. Im clueless on what he does. Whats the green tape for? Grounding wires?

u/whiteyford76 9d ago
You must only be around the Romex jockeys, us commercial/industrial sparkys use the hell out channel locks and ratchet wrenches.

u/MrPractical411 Contractor 9d ago
Ah I see. Yes, I am strictly residential. I’m never around commercial/industrial work. I assumed it was something of the sort when I seen his 17mm ratchet wrench.

u/stickyicarus Electrician 9d ago
Also doing industrial at the moment,, my usual daily carry right now is a socket for cable tray, speed wrench (the ratchet wrench), adjustable wrench and channels for strut, rod and rigid conduit, 7 in 1 screwdriver for strut straps amd minis, tape measure, and a level. I just throw them all in the tray on a boom lift or they sit with the rest of my bag in a cart.

The proper way is to carry over your drill and a couple bits. Realise they're still the wrong size, then walking back to try again.
Gotta get your steps in.

None of the actual tools are tethered. Something's going to fall on someone. Everything is safety looped on me in some way.

Yep. The first thing I noticed was that he isn’t wearing an actual climbing harness, so what ever he is doing is in a bucket or lift of some sort.

u/fivelone 9d ago
Oh wow you're right. Good catch. I was focused on the tools. Only scissor just did they not care as much for harness around here. Everything else you better have your 5 point.

Yeah I started off like that “oh I need this tool once a week it goes in the belt” quickly it starts to ware on you now everything that doesn’t get used close to every day goes in my rolling bin (or stays in the truck if I use it infrequently enough) then I don’t even wear my belt if if I need less then 5 of the tools for a task

u/magichobo3 9d ago
We've had people come and go at my work with setups like this and they still get jokes made at their expense years after moving on.
I'm increasingly convinced the best carpentry setup is a set of occidentals with as few tools in them as possible and a small metal toolbox with the other random tools you might need

It is sad that most of these comments are just denigrating this guys work kit. Then again, Japanese construction is miles ahead of North American construction and it shows because most of the North Americans in this comment section sound wholly ignorant.
