Re: What do you carry?
I carry only a flashlight on a cop ring and the camera in a open pouch that clips on the belt.
Everything else except crawl gear is in a step stool tool box that I have had for over 10 years.
The tool box has all the screw drivers, meters, thermometers, shower drain plug, spare flashlight, etc.
The tool box goes to the kitchen where all the appliances get started first and then I grab what I need for each stage of the inspection.
It keeps me from going back and forth to the truck and the step stool gets me by without a ladder on the interior most of the time.
I do wind up with tools stuck in my pockets, but that is still not as heavy as a tool belt, and is easier to maneuver in tight quarters.
I wish I could find another one of these boxes, since it is plastic and is showing its age, but I have looked at every tool store I have come across in the last 5 years and I have not been able to find another.
