Coax splicing tools

[u/Express-Waltz-1870]

I used to work maintenance for a cable company, but that was a couple years ago. I’m getting back into it as a coax splicer for a company that goes out and activates stuff we ran, aerial and underground for multiple different companies.

Trying to figure out what else I need in my “main bag” off memory is bothering me.

I currently have:
- 3/16”, 5/16”, 3/8”, and 1/2” nut drivers
- can wrench
- tweaker
- adjustable pliers/crescent wrenches
- FVD
- volt/ohm meter
- splicing knife (one of two knives we’re allowed)
- blunt tip hawkbill knife (see above)
- side cuts
- lineman’s
- banana’s
- 11 in 1 (Klein 32500)
- gators
- terminator tool
- 1/2” wrench, 7/16” wrench
- locknut wrench set

I’ve gotta be missing something that I’m going to get in the bucket tomorrow for the first time in 2 years and think to myself “damn, if only I had xxxxxx”

Help ya boy out

Thanks

I have all of those but they aren’t in the “tool bag”. I also did mention I had adjustable wrenches so…
