nolabama

what is the following tools?
1 green robby sd
2 red robby sd
3 black robby sd

kbsparky

Green = R1 driver (Robertson, or recessed Square)
Red = R2 driver
Black = R3 driver

I carry a 5-gallon bucket, with all of the following ( and usually then some):

• 2 pairs of side cutters
• diagonal cutters
• needle-nose pliers
• 2 wire strippers
• utility knife
• 30 foot tape measure
• 10-in-one driver
• 6-in-one threader
• split-blade screw-holding driver
• several wood chisels
• torpedo level
• ¼" T-handle allen wrench
• 5/16" T-handle allen wrench
• 3/8" T-handle allen wrench
• Folding Allen wrench set
• 4 different flat blade screwdrivers
• R1 and R2 drivers
• 9 different but drivers, sizes from ¼" to 5/8"
• 4 different stubbys
• 4 Phillips drivers
• Conduit driver/reamer
• "bx" cutter
• hammer
• Ideal Vol-Con
• 2 different plug-in receptacle testers
• various screws, wirenuts, and other assorted junk that needs to be purged on an occasional basis
• New Ideal freebie channel-lock type pliers just received from Aiken

Yeah, that bucket can get a bit heavy at times, but it serves its purpose. I have #12 wire laced around the perimeter to hold many of the screw/nut drivers up on the inside of the bucket to make for better utilization of the space.

Used a five gallon bucket for years. Only the basic stuff. 1/10th of what you guys carry. I now have a tool bag my wife gave me for some holiday or birthday or something. I like it as it has many pockets and big enough for a hack saw if needed.

I hate tool pouches. So heavy. But they do save time, I will say that. Rather walk back ...lol

Yeah, I've had it for several years and it's held up well. Like a bucket though, it can get filled up with crap pretty quick.
