VOM should be digital. Bell System "kick meter" or Sidekick. 216-type wrench ("can wrench") Flashlight Modular "mouse" 6" Crescent wrench Ideal brand coax F-connector tool (compression type) 3M Scotchlok tool (the expensive one, #E9C, I think) Electrician's 6-way screw-hole tapping tool. Radio Shack package of 18" long test leads with alligator clips. And you'll definitely need one of these: ![[Linked Image from eltasdirect.com]](https://www.eltasdirect.com/images/N_468_300.jpg) to prove to the customer, sparkie, and CG that you know what you're doing.

What, no BIX Punch tool?....What a bunch of amateurs! :rofl: Personall, I also carry a Modular Crimper for 6p6c & 8P8C (Notice I didn't use a RJ term?) Saves going to the truck (or trunk)  for a new cord. A small level is handy to install everything plumb & level....makes your work look more professional.

I have an Ideal ratcheting crimpmaster...it takes different dies but I only have the 8p8c. A good drywall saw is important, and a tape measure I have a large flathead screwdriver for those jobs where something needs to be persuaded. I also have a pair of Klein crimpers for insulated terminals and beanies. They look like a large pair of diagonal cutters.

My tool of choice for most jobs is an SDS roto hammer with a chipping bit.

A quality FIBERGLASS step ladder, 6 foot should be good. Nevr use a cheap aluminum or wooden ladder, think Safety First!

I prefer an 8 foot ladder...since I am a bigger guy, I don't like going on top of a 6ft.

By on top...I meant the higher steps, not the actual top of the ladder.
