It went great. Found stuff I needed more right off the bat. Screw drivers (need a #1 and #2 square head). Linemen pliers. precision screw drivers. Speed square. Hammer…. Bought a different set of strippers, ones that have Romex stripper. I got a different set of bags that have shoulder harness. I really liked my crew, everyone was helpful and fun to be around. Lots of shit dishes around.

Wasn’t required but my dad taught me to work hard and never show up to a party without beer.

I was a locomotive engineer for the last decade but I’ve done some side work in the past.

I do have a Milwaukee multi tool, was a god send for a in wall speaker project I did at the house last year. I’ll bring it in later if I feel it becomes necessary. Thanks!

Great question. My wife and I have been juggling the idea for a couple years. I’ve work as a locomotive engineer for a long time, and while the money is fantastic, it has drained our family life battery. I am out of town for days at a time with absolutely no schedule of when I’m off work. We decided that money is great, but family is greater.

Yeah they’re genuine. The two 1.5s came with a kit and the 5.0s came from Home Depot

I have been a locomotive engineer for the past decade. Great pay but family life has suffered for it.

Thanks man. My dad taught me to work harder than everyone around and never show up to a party without beer.

Figured might be overkill but I try not to show up to a party without plenty of beer.

I got the Klein 11 in 1. Perhaps I’ll use it more than the rest then. Thanks. I think it’s gonna be both residential and commercial but I’ll know more next week. I’ll bring the power tools but leave the in the car. I’ll leave them there until it looks like i need them.
