I saw the Larry light but don't you also need an LED headlamp? (like a little Zebralight)

For when you're slithering thru an attic or crawl space.

Which happens more and more all the time. :mad:

Alot of good stuff in your carry bag. I use a Bucket Boss and 5 gallon paint bucket. Here's my carry tools, probably 3-4 year old picture by now.

My wife always gives me a hard time about some of the "junk" that I pick up from garage sales, but I like magnets very much.:thumbup::thumbup: What I find is if you can find or buy a good bar magnet, they are great for placing on all your sheet metal units that you are working on, then you can add several tools in reach for the job you have at hand. Besides at the end of the day you will not lose any of your tools. I see you also carry a small tray for all your screws so good job!:thumbup:

Sweetheart it is not "Junk" ,never lost a tool yet.:beer:

A trick I've learned for retrieving dropped tools and such is a rifle barrel cleaner tool. They usually have several lengths of threaded rads that go together to clean out the length of a rifle barrel. Put two of the kits together and you can reach like 4 or 5 feet. Put a metal hook or magnet on the end and you're set.

I used one for a short time. I honestly dont like the thing on my head, but it is convenient

About the only downside to a bucket is on those steep pitched roofs. The bucket wants to tip over easily. A fabric bag would be better in those situations.

Though I just sat the bucket on top of the unit as that was usually flat.
