Thanks for getting us back on track. Yes the can wrench with the tool for "accessing" the key'd fasteners is very handy.

Something I've used for many years (from back in my cable splicing days) is a utility knife with the small hooked blade (not the big carpet hook). It is all I use for stripping cable other than the pull string.

The only time I bring in my larger tools is on a new job with lots of drilling and wiring. Basically if it doesn't fit in my tool pouch it stays in the truck until needed. I've seen people practically empty their trucks for small jobs.
