    A small 2 cycle generator is nice to have; you can run an angle grinder or sawsall off it in the field. You are also going to want a come-along.

    Cell phone (or land line.) No tools are any good unless you have the things to break down to start with.

    Gloves. Secondly GUMPTION. Either you have it or learn it. You can throw all your tools in a lake if you don't have it.

    1. Go to Google. I will let you figure out how to get there.

    2. Type in "Let me Google that for you".

    3. Type in what you want.

    4. Post "demeaning" link.

    throwing them in that 5 gallon bucket was handy too. I went over to break down another furnace and took it with me, almost everything I needed was right there (saved about 50 trips for tools i hadn't thought of ) only had to come back over here once (it's almost right next door, i just walked) to get a sawzall for a stuck pipe
