Tool Kit to fit around waist

robknowles · 11-12-2007, 12:28 AM

Hello,

Anybody know of a useful tool kit to fit around the waist - something that we can wear with us all day allowing us to carry bits and pieces - such as cable snips, screwdrivers, cable ties, the odd network lead and possible a mouse or two etc?

Thanks,

Rob

How about Workmans trousers - http://search.stores.ebay.co.uk/Cord...054732QQsofpZ2 They are smart trousers, fine not Suit and Tie type, but out of most of the workwear brands they look the smartest and come in 2 sorts with differing numbers of pockets.

You could just get a tool belt and put some pouches on it, like a nail pouch for mice etc

I have an electrician's Leatherman and that normally gets me by. I keep a cache of bits and pieces around the school (mice, cables, keyboards etc)

I use my handbag! It's big and roomy enough for screwdrivers, discs, etc although may not be the thing you're looking for! :P

I got a Leatherman that has the interchangable pieces. Is enough for random jobs as I find them. Became so useful the NM bought a departmental one as well for him!

Buy a Gerber - much better than a LeatherMan. Broke three LM's. Present Gerber 6 years old and still going strong.

Batman's utility belt - cool.

Agree with the Gerber being better.

That would be cool, just need to somehow get gerber to make one of them.

Not tried a Gerber but not had any problems with the Leatherman and this is from 5 years use in Scouting, climbing, work use and random tooling around.
This is the all sing and dancing one though, don't know about the smaller ones though.

What supplier is the best for the electrician's leatherman do people think? Wouldn't mind one here! Cheers.

Swiss Army Cybertool 41 - http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/3653/ - if I need more than that, it's broken enough to have to be lugged back to my office anyway

Beats carrying a million things round... Now they just need one with a cat 5 crimping tool on it :P

My Gerber's got me out of a million scrapes (well almost).

mac_shinobi · 11-12-2007, 11:24 AM

tech_guy - dont suppose you have a link to the exact gerber you have ?

Thanks

Leatherman is all you need

I work with stage light and sound on the weekends, and used to be my parttime job before I had to do a placement year so I use my Leatherman from then

Always worries me using it when kids are about, s'long as the blade doesnt get seen I suppose it's ok though.
