Great first post Lawrence and welcome to TIA.

Do you use the whole screw driver and nut driver sets? My OCD likes the idea of having the whole sets but when I actually think of what I actually grab for 95% of the time it is klien 11in1 the other 5% is split between bits (used with Wera kompakt or Malco ratcheting) and two klien hollow (1/4, 5/16) nut drivers.
Is it worth the extra weight and space?
I have 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 in both hollow and magnetic. The rest of them are from the hollow set. I don't use the rest of the set as much as I do the main 3. I just hate being up on a roof top or on a lift or three blocks from my truck and need one of the other ones. I don't have any nut drivers in my TP 4 "troubleshooting" bag. I utilize a Klein 11-1.
Congrats on your Veto Pro purchase you'll love it.

More pics and a trip to the tool store. I seriously have a problem.......
I do think the backpack will work better for me plus it's forcing me to get rid of some extra stuff

If I were you I would hire an electrician to run a ground to your main panel and install a sub panel in your workshop. It's not worth messing around.
Very good advice. There's a lot to consider with this type of job and on the bad end could cause death or the loss of your home.......

Now THAT'S a stocked tool bag, it must weigh almost 50lbs?
LOL, it's not that bad. However it's kind of funny there's at least 10 scales per plant that I service and I have never weighed it..... I'm thinking about running out to pickup the Veto Pro backpack this morning and then thinning out the heard if I can. I just hate running back to the truck and I work in an environment where down time is costly and the truck at times can be really far away from where I'm working. There's no gas vehicles allowed near any area we fill anything due to the possibility of vapors igniting and causing an explosion.

I hate to say this but I'm not sure. If your talking about the ratchets one is an Armstrong sealed flex head and the other is an at least 10 year old Craftsman professional pear head..........

This is a teaser of sorts I guess....... I don't have time tonight to pull everything out to get group shots. I wanted to get in on the fun! I'll pull everything apart in the next few days.
The Veto TP-4 is my "troubleshooting bag" and grab that first on any initial trouble call. If it's a big job I head back for the LC and whatever else I need.

I would think the 17 dollar gamble is worth it.......
-
That's crazy!!!!

i have a bunch of vetos bags and you can't go wrong. My main bag is in LC and it is constantly getting beat up and shows no real signs of wear. True they are a little pricey but the are a well built bag. I think you will be really happy with that purchase.

Javier, I've had that exact same problem quite a few times with the sharpie pro. Pretty annoying when you only have one hand free and that happens.
-
Congrats man! What are you looking at doing in the future??
-
Culling tools out of your bag is tough...... Has to be done sometimes though.
Dan, anybody have the Veto back back locally in stock? I think I need to add to me Veto collection.

105 degrees is a pretty common setting....
Another thing you could do is take some thermometer reading at night in the attic and set the thermostat close to the average of your temp readings. -
Nice looking table.
-
Nice job man. Looks really good.

i got a pleasant surprise yesterday. TIA stickers and there awesome!!! Thanks Dan and Eric. Now if it would just stop raining in Chicago I get them on something. My wife saw them on my desk at home and said I get one of those right......

Nice work Chris!! I have a bunch of work I need to get done in the back yard this coming weekend to get ready for my daughters 4th birthday party. I'll hopefully have more than a half a day off this weekend. Nice to see others landscape work kind of inspiring really.
BTW that truck of yours is looking good. I'm liking that blue.

Whoa whoa whoa....you mean like broke back mountain gay or I can't believe it's not butter gay?
Like brokeback using i can't believe it's not butter for lube.
Now that's funny right there

I was thinking it would also be nice for those "while your here" calls I love so much. It looks small enough to leave on the truck.
