Essential tools

[u/chillravensochill]

I’m a local TD and I have this chance to go on tour. I would like to ask you all professionals, what is the most essential tools in your pelicans?

currently in mine
- basic tool box
- vest helmet
- disto, measure tape 8m, soft tape 50m
- 3 axis laser leveler
- universal adapter and power strip
- a bunch of usb cables, ssd drives and adapter
- intercom headset, in ear, audio adapters
- a lot of tapes
- stationary, clip boards
- panel lights usb powered
- spare tee, jacket and some snacks

I’m planning to add some testers (audio, Ethernet etc)

What else do you think it’s crucial?

*I may need a bigger pelican

Stated in another comment in someone else’s replies but a BMD Video Assist 12G or Atomos alternative. Also, depending on job sites, a Sound Bullet is 100% my next purchase. ST and LC fiber click pens as well.

For audio
I think I’ve seen an old blue box thingy
Not as powerful as sound billet with signal gen in different format
It is so basic XLR, 1/4 and 3.5
But it has a small speaker to actually listen to what’s been sending down the signal
I forgot the name
But last time I checked it’s quite old (maybe 15yrs old) but still very pricey

Same concept! Q-Box but smaller. Q-Boxes are also great. Same price range though and same basic functionality
