How do you chew those fuckin things up so bad?


Warehouser here and i have a cart that i toss all my shit on. Boxcutter, big fuckoff marker what never will get so chewed up, and a clipboard for invoices. Phone and bluetooth headphones keep me occupied with podcasts.

Nice chain.
Do you wear cheap jewlery with skulls and flames on them too. 6 tacky looking rings?

>>1826166

I dunno anon... I just have them in my pants pocket clipped over the edge right next to my knife. Picking up/carrying heavy shit, rolling around on the ground under vehicles, etc. I've snapped the plastic cased sharpies in half before too... and those metal bodied paint markers have cracked and busted in my pocket. If you're ever carrying one of those and feel a burning sensation on your leg you might want to check and see if it is busted...

I guess I'm just hard on shit that I carry on my body.

>>1826173
No jewlery other than a wedding band. $50 tungsten carbide ring. I'm more of a function over form type of person in case you hadn't noticed already.

>>1826176
>I'm more of a function over form type of person in case you hadn't noticed already.

Thats not the impression I get out of your picture.

>>1826165
>no lineman pliers
Cringe, baseless, and bluepilled

>>1826173
>>1826176

Aww shit just realized I forgot to include my phone in that picture too... rugged as fuck. Could chuck it at someone like a brick. Lasts over a week on a battery charge.

>>1826177
Please enlighten me as to why I should EDC super expensive stuff instead when this stuff does the job perfectly with zero extra bullshit.

>>1826178
What do you use them for? I have some, but I can't remember the last time they came out of the toolbox.

>>1826181

So I've realized that I never, ever use the bullshit mini tools on a multitool and only use the pliers/wire cutters.

Recs on a comfy needle nose pliers for edc? I always just buy the first one I see at home depot but I'm wanting something gucci

>>1826185
Stripping wire
Cutting wire
Pulling wire
Cutting some bolts/screws

>the "Chad" on the knife
perfect touch

>>1826165
Why not use a flip out handle allen wrench set? Would take up less room and you wouldn't lose any of them as easy.

>>1826223
flip out sets are clunky as frig. Into the trash they go. Full blown sets give ya more torque and more clearance when you need it. Also ball ends.

>>1826227
Basically what he said. They're just not as useful. I have a set in my truck tool bag, but most of the time I have this pouch with me anyway.

Fuck it. I'm OP, I make the rules. Post work stations too. Preferably your area where you actually WORK in following the thread theme. *Ahem* I really just want to brag about how Gucci my setup is DESU.

Ain't got a picture of my pouches but I got one of my workstation. Anyways I carry
>25ft tape
>Kleins
>dykes
>needle nose
>laser measurer
>impact w/ bits and reamer
>drill w/ bits
>channel locks
>clicker
>screwdriver
>demo driver
>hammer
>strippers
>sharpie
>pencil
>ratcheting wrenches
>pocket knife
And then obvious stuff like phone, keys, wallet.

Baby Knipex Alligators (channellocks)
Klein Side Cutters
Wiss Bulldog Tin Snips
Knife
Pencil
Sharpie
16 Ft Tape Measure (fits into pocket)

I either carry a bucket or tool bag around. That has driver bits, a screw driver, electrical tape, etc.

Electrician.

>>1826155
show them all out the pouch what pouch is it.

It's actually this one, although that is very similar.

See now this guy fucks. Women. Attractive women.

>t. Must offset low intellect and lack of personality with high price purchases far past the point of diminishing returns

Nothing wrong with a Shield. Post funz

>>1826179
QRD. Does it still do apps? I could give a shit less about screensize and camera pixels. As long as it runs accounts and lets me shitpost and takes a beating.

This is the base of my work EDC. I don’t have a tool specific photo but it usually includes a 16’ tape, cut resistant gloves, safety glasses and bluetooth ear muffs, a Klein 10n1, and a 6” c wrench.

>>1826311
Goddamn captcha

>>1826231
That is fuckin nice

>>1826306

It is a 4g phone and yeah you can run apps on it, though I don't. I actually had to upgrade to this phone because Verizon wouldn't let me keep activating my favorite 3g phone anymore... RIP Samsung Intensity II.

I could buy those things for $15 a piece used off e-bay, use it for a month or two and then toss it and activate another one when I broke the fuck out of it. Also my favorite feature of those old phones is half the time they would shut off in my pocket. Pure blissful silence. No calls or texts to interrupt my work.

>>1826215
Knipex has a few different types of electricians pliers, same with Klein and Milwaukee. The ones on the bottom left here caught my eye

>>1826404
Spotify? It’s the only thing keeping me on a smart phone.

>>1826231
That's a tight setup, OP. Years of evolution, no doubt.

>>1826520
Just shy of two years at this job. Built the cart off the clock an hour here and there. Not even close to done.

>>1826499

I honestly don't know. I don't mess with apps on my phone. According to this link the operating system is Android based but it doesn't run regular Android apps, so based off of that I'm going to say no it probably won't work.

>>1826197
Holy shit this looks like a combination of what I and my dad edc

>>1826173

That gun has been in service for ~ 8 years now. It gets drug across the ground while I'm working, grinder sparks all over it, just basically beat to shit on a daily basis. Explain why I would buy a gucci gun to carry? I specifically got a sub compact carry gun that I wouldn't give 2 shits about for this very reason.

Those knives are perfect. Cheap, but function flawlessly. I take a new one apart red loctite all the screws and put them back together. They've scraped more gaskets, cut more twine, stripped more electrical wires, and castrated more calves than you ever have bud.

That wallet is pushing 20 years old. It still performs its task of carrying my credit card, license, and pesticide license as well as cash and I will continue using it until it doesn't perform that task anymore. It gets soaked in sweat on a daily basis and my only complaint with it is when I have to do a lot of running equipment sometimes it will make my ass/lower back sore. But when that happens I'll take it out and look at it and see that I have a few thousand worth of cash in it, so the next time I go home I'll empty it out into the safe and then it is much better...

Those Gerber tools are solid. I like the blunt nose pliers over the needle nose most manufactures give you. I also like the slide out feature of the pliers, so I have super quick one handed access to them without having to play butterfly knife dude... The other features (screwdrivers, file etc.) dont' get used as much, but they've saved my hide a few times and are nice to have when needed.

That carabiner is g2g. I've had some cheap ones that don't last a month, but that one has been going on 15 years or so. I hook it over my pocket and stick the chain and keys down in my pocket. The 3 links of chain are the perfect length to get the keys down towards the bottom of my pocket instead of up on my leg where they would constantly get smashed into my thigh when lifting/carrying heavy stuff.

>>1826613
So in other words that is why I carry what I carry. I have carried more stuff and I have carried less stuff in the past, but after years of doing the shit I do this is what I've come down to liking having on me at all times. I don't buy pretty shit with fluff features. I get shit that woks for my tasks.

That knife for example will do anything a $300 dollar pocket knife will do, plus I don't feel bad about sharpening it real quick in a hurry on my belt sander, and when it inevitably gets lost/broken I also don't seethe about it like you cuck tool polishers would. I throw it in the "fuck it" bin and grab another and get back to work.

>>1826607

W....what do you two use the astroglide for?

>>1826176
>Implying a gold wedding band isn't the most functional, timeless style
Anything else is meme tier. In fact, all your shit looks like you bought it from a Facebook ad

>>1826197
Fucking BASED

>>1826619
Kek I thought it was shaving cream

>>1826619
That silicone astroglide is prime for gettin in there in the shower. Problem is it’s a pain in the ass to get off, pussy is slick for a couple days without taking some industrial strength solvent to it.

>>1826162
Fuck all the other nerds, that m&p is just fine and looks sexy with that wear tan it has

Are there any tutorials out there for, or is it even worth it trying to mod a leatherman to have a full sized bit holder instead of their weird flat one?

I was looking at either a 300 or 300m and I figure taking out the little extras I would never use like the 3 fuckin flat heads there would be enough room to have a full size bit holder.

Or should I just give them more money for their little extender that takes normal sized bits

>>1826864
I agree. The best carry piece is the one you'll carry every day, every place you go.

Thanks Anons!

Small adjustable no name brand wrench under 20$, planning on getting one of those small pipe wrenches, since they work better in my enviornment. Cheap ass flashlight for 10$ with a magnet on the back, enough to last a couple of months. My 1/E gave me his 7 year old Maglite and it works well enough. I am impressed af by it. Peltor III earmuffs, cotton single use gloves. A rag or two. Whatever wrenches I need for specific work, pliers and a small screwdriver. A pairing knife from time to time. I carry a chinkshit headlamp from time to time if I know I will need it for the day.
I am an engine cadet on a car carrier.
I am planning on adding some type of multi-tool (where the Leatherman shills at?) and a higher quality wrench. Preferrably something with quality pliers and a blade, that can be used for cutting those weird gaskets or fabrics, cutting rubber, insulation, zip ties, etc. Stainless is preferred, since this tool will be spending the majority of the time in my pocket and I sweat like a pig.
I am torn between getting some quality stuff and keeping my loadout cheap, because if I buy quality stuff sooner or later it will be stolen by one of the ratings...

>>1826197
What is the black box in the top center? Some fancy tobacco holder?

Little folding binoculars, when I google it they’re called opera glasses. MADE IN JAPAN!

Actually based.

>>1826864
Shit bruh, I carry a Taurus. It ventilates nog's and tweakers just as well as anything else and I don't care if it gets beat up, lost, or stolen.

>>1827249
I have a Leatherman Surge. It's stupid expensive, but I could beat a elephant to death with it. I usually only carry it if I'm at the maintenance side job, since I have the Gucci pouch at work.

>>1826173
Bruh if you're a fag just say you're a fag. It's really not a big deal.

>>1827298
You should care if it gets stolen or lost its a fucking gun. Don't let your gun make more statistics for progressives to fuck with.

>>1826155
If on UK job sites we need pic related , far too many thieving gypo Poles

>>1826162
why do you have a lady pistol ?

>>1826162
Nice collection, m&p bro

Uhh, that's really fuckin cringe ngl

I have an esee 6 for innawoods. It's the best knife I've ever owned.

>>1828407
Been carrying a 4 everyday for like 9 years. It's the perfect EDC knife. Saved my ass countless times where a folder would have snapped in twain.
I need a 5 and a 6 to go with my Junglas. That thing is awesome

>>1827460

Fuck off dick breath. The M&P met the criteria for my carry needs. I wanted .40 in a sub compact frame, and a thin profile because I do a lot of crawling around on the ground under equipment in dirty environments and didn't need a huge/heavy/chunky gun strapped to my hip making that even more uncomfortable. It is rugged and reliable enough that I can go without cleaning it for quite a period of time and when I pull it out it still functions flawlessly. It is quick to field strip for when I do clean it, and goes bang when I pull the trigger.

You see how beat to shit that thing is? It has been on my side for years now. I keep the fancy and expensive guns at home.

>>1827446
Thanks Anon!

You call that a holesaw?
