tools on your belt - Page 3 - Plumbing Zone

Cell Phone

I got no azz so keeping the weight on the belt to a minimum makes it so I can walk around without holding my pants up...

Most days I'd like to ditch the phone and get more done too...
It only makes noise when I'm busy...

I carry my minimag, a mini screwdriver, blue pen, and my phone in my shirt pocket. the rest depends on the job.

I carry a small bag with a few small tools. A multi screwdriver/nutdriver,adjustable wrench, small channel lock, picks to remove hair form lavy drains and tub shoe strainers,small flashlight and hex keys to tighten faucet handles and tub spots.

I use these tools to tighten loose toilet seats,faucet handles,door knobs,take apart faucets to identify them easier and I am there to start working for the client.

I carry a Leatherman skeletool on my belt...

It has a built in clip like the folding razor knives...

Pliers, cutters, phillips, straight, combo knife blade(serrated,regular)

No extra junk you really don't need...

I carry a Leatherman Wave on my belt. It was like 80 bucks but I can honestly say that I use that sucker every single day. Doing a lot of residential service, it saves me a lot of time.

I carry the leatherman skeletool as well. It has a little clip on it that I clip my keys onto and lots of different tools that I always seem to use. Pretty useful to carry around.

I dont wear a belt. I wear carhartt work dungarees, they have a lot of pockets. In those pockets I carry 6" channelocks, a utility knife, a 30' tape, and a .357 mag. (no matter what part of town I am in)
Oh, I also sometimes carry a screwdriver (phillips, not star)

I carry my phone and foldable razor knife in my pocket. When I walk into a call, I carry a 4 in one screw driver, channel locks, and an adjustable wrench. 8 out of 10 times I can fix most problems, or at least get started with just these tools.

I wear phone on belt. ( black max tape when needed) My pants slip down and I fall through and hang myself.
