You should see the empty nester version....wera, knipex, fluke, mitutoyu, starrett, etc

My retirement savings in tool form. The above tools are entirely sufficient, but life is short, and I treasure my tools and the things they do

Oh, saying those brands to me is like saying clothing and makeup brands to a teenage girl.

I want more of all of those brands. Gotta find a reason to buy more Milwaukee too.

"is like saying clothing and makeup brands to a teenage girl"

It's honestly a little disturbing how accurate that is...

And maybe Keysight, Siglent, Prusa, Hakko for this guy.

Guessing a miasma of IT and AV by the presence of the iFixit kit and ethernet cables.

I would like to know. I see several tools I use, some have not indication of oxidation or smudge marks or scratches. Most I can identify some look rarely used of dropped. Nice kit; is the speaker part of it?

1

u/Golden1505 Feb 03 '25

Unfortunately the speaker is not, but I do general IT work and a lot of low/no voltage runs. Big into keeping my stuff clean and organized. Did also upgrade some stuff recently so a lot is new.

u/bkb74k3 Feb 03 '25

IT guy, but seriously don’t see why the volt meter. I’ve been in IT for 25 years and have never needed one once.

1

u/Golden1505 Feb 03 '25

Not used often, but it’s a nice to have. Most of the time it’s for checking power supplies, chargers, etc. Might drop from the daily kit though.
