Out of entertainment, I thought I would post what tools you need to have to be a superintendent at the company I work for. All tools must be owned by each super, the larger items (miter saw, table saw, etc) are provided by the company. Tool bags, hammer, pliers, chalk box (red, blue), 25' tape, 100' tape, cat's paw, flat bar, 8 lb. sledge, work boots, safety glasses, utility knife, rebar pliers, speed square, framing square, 2,4,6 foot levels, string line, vise grip, wire reel, quick grips, tin snips, cold chisels, wood chisels, hack saw, hand saw, plumb bob, nail sets, screw driver set, crescent wrench, palm sander, circular saw, jig saw, drill, impact, 3/8" corded drill, drill bits, hole saws, caulking gun, mag, pool trowel, margin trowel. Big list huh?! This also doesn't include the random tools that you go out and buy for job specific items. Does anyone else have to provided a list similar to this? Some think the contractor should provide tools, but the benefit to buying your own is you can take them home with you. FB82
