KWestos Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Erm, why do you have a hammer in your handbag? Because it looks like a ford keyfob! The only way to get it started maybe?

Pyroman Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Lunch. That's it. Everything else important is in my wallet and/or pocket. My car boot does have a worryingly large quantity of gaffer tape though. I had a clear out in my van the other day and found no less than 7 rolls of gaffer tape =D, part of the drummers tool kit, gaffer tape, vice grips and WD-40 1

beeswax Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Mine's a rather nice leather one from Tusting - traditional English leather[\url] It holds loads... Unfortunately! There's some nice kit there. Thanks.
tech_guy Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I would be happy to have your briefcases!! Lol You're welcome to it - the unopened post is some pretty massive bills - including one for the highest ever balance I've ever incurred on a credit card....
witch Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Handbag: HTC Desire HTC Desire charger mirror inhaler cheque book wallet of credit/debit cards etc purse ball (for dog) cloth eco-bag for any purchases two apples small screwdriver small plastic farmer (don't ask) two memory sticks and one 'credit card' stick Keys Driving licence assorted receipts sweetners lip gloss Not bad really, for a girl! The work bag, on the other hand, has all the usual stuff in it: CD wallet full of useful stuff, multi-tool, cable maker and bits, screwdriver set, ethernet cable, mouse, powered usb hub, external hard drive, external DVD player, several payslips, A4 file with stuff in, more apples, invoices for this and that, mains cable, printer cable etc etc. Much of which I relaly don't have to carry around all day. Still, whilst I don't have a hammer, the multi-tool has a couple of really sharp knives that I find very useful. 1
tech_guy Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 The reason I don't have much technical stuff in my bag is because I have all my important files in DropBox, a 16GB USB stick in my pocket with everything else, and one of these on my belt: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/415-HTeUPLL._SS400_.jpg Gerber Suspension Multi-tool. Brilliant. Got mine off Amazon when it was a special offer for £18. It's a bit pricier now: Gerber Suspension Multi-Tool: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools
