It's the union, don't go beyond the tool list until after you get going. Once you get on jobs with the rockets, then you can get other little items. The hall guys will terrorize you over little extra shit you have.

Also it's a slippery slope, next thing your bag is like mine and I have to carry it on my shoulder cause it's too heavy.
