Secondary equipment includes a Ruger LCP, Spyderco, BLUE ink pen, ID badge, Fluke volt-pen, shirt pocket screwdriver, work phone and lately an USB drive to work with all this computer **** that is taking over.

Kershaw Leek, iPhone 5, USB drive, a pen, large sledgehammer for adjusting computers...

That's funny! Years ago one of the office gals called down to the shop and asked to borrow a screwdriver and hammer. I asked, "why?" She said she needed to "fix" her computer! :willy_nil

Pen, notebook, 6" scale, Surefire P2X, and ID badge to move around the building. Used to alternate between a Benchmade pocketknife and Leatherman Wave but somebody went and asked for 'clarification' on the companies weapons policy... now no more pocket knife or Leatherman :mad:

One office dude at work called my Spyderco Caly 3.5 a "machete" WTH! :shocking:

Another office sheeple got personal knives banned in production. When she tried to tell me I couldn't carry it, I said "I don't work in production, and you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands".

I do lots of things, but this is what I carry when I work cutting firewood.
And this is why!

This is my go-to tool:

And no, you really don't want to know the kind of things I have to scrape up with it.

Now you've done it...I really DO want to know!

Just thought about sharing a pic of my wallet. Seems like people like the idea. I can't stand bulk in my pockets:

And by the way, pictures are fun folks! Interesting lists of things but a quick snap shot would be amazing too! :)

I'm also wondering about the bits?:dunno:

The main reason I bought them (besides being cheap, 3-4 bucks) was the battery cover for the PASS device. It's a tamperproof torx screw. I need to change them all out to regular phillips. We've had issues where a PASS device gets wet and starts to go into alarm/danger mode and won't shut off. I'm the SCBA guy, so when that happens, I take the battery out and put the SCBA pack out of service.

EDIT as for the rest of the bits, I'd rather have them and not need them rather than a situation come up and not have them.

What's a PASS ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PASS_device

It's the black box (yellow lenses) on the right shoulder strap (when facing), it comes on automatically when you open the air bottle on the pack.



For those of you that don't know, after the collapse of WTC, the chirping sound that you heard in the background of the videos was multiple PASS devices going off.

Hardware store: Gerber Critical multitool/knife, 10ft tape measure, 2 pens, mechanical pencil, multi-mini screwdriver. Regular job (corporate security): mini-mag, Leatherman Micro (not supposed to have, it has a knife blade), two pens, mechanical pencil, two note pads. They supply the keys and radio.

Both: damn cell phone, so people can reach me when they want to, not when I want them to.

Commercial HVAC grunt here

During work (and a good portion of the time when not at work)
Back right pocket - wallet
back left pocket - more often than not has a rag hanging out of it
right hip pocket - pen, marker, keys to the office & home, change, keyless fob for the work van
left hip pocket - truck keys, gerber tool, big key ring with job site keys.
right leg pocket (carhart pants), 9-in-1 irwin screw driver
left leg pocket 6" crecent wrench
Left shirt pocket - small screw driver
right shirt pocket - cell phone

about 1/4 of the time I have a pocket clip pouch on my right pocket. It has my pneumatic calibration goods and misc fittings in it.
the other 1/4 of the time I'm usually lugging a 50# tool bag around.
That leaves half of the time either wandering, working, driving, or doing paperwork.
