I am looking for a good place to purchase equipment. Such as NID access tools and so on maybe even some cable.
Also as a side note.
I just saw an AT&T installer and he had a blue disk looking device that had a RJ11 and rj45 on each side and also had different access points to put the alligator clips from a toner on it. Anyone know what the heck that is??? I want one...

This looks like a good spot to plug the upcoming Tech-Talk Meet There will be lots of catalogs and product literature from several telecom products and tool distributors. Target Distributing will be there along with the other vendors. Purchasing is one of the many topics that will be discussed by the group. For more info click here

If you need to get access to a NID, in order to do your job inside the NID, I would imagine that your supervisor would be the best source for the access tool.

Looks like a decent kit but it might be overkill. Since your in the early stages I would recommend just 2 basic tools, a TS-22 and a punch tool, both made by Harris/Dracon. The rest of it is fluff.
Remember after you get some tools you will still be an apprentice with a long way to go.

grider,
looks like that kit has basically the same set along with a punch down tool. the reason i am looking at this kit is #1 the price is good i think and #2 i need a new punch down and a buttset, and this has all of that plus more for a price that is way cheaper then anywhere around here, which of course brings me back to point #1, lol

Basic Tools to get started with:
Screwdriver - Recommend 5-in-1 Combination
6" Diagonal Pliers
5" short nose or thin needle nose pliers
(all of the above can be Klein or other reputable mfg)
Harris Buttset
Tone Generator & Wand (Aines or other reputable manufacturer)
Dracon 814 or 914 Punch tool w/66 & 110 blades
Optional:
Probe pic (siemons)
Splicers kit (Electricians scissors & cable
knife)- klein, wiss or equivalent
Volt Ohm Meter
Krone Blade & Awl blade for punch on tool
9" Linesman Pliers with crimping die (Klein or equiv.)
I'm sure I forgot half-a-dozen of everyones favorites, but this is a pretty good place to get started.
