Re: What tools to carry..... Reply #1 – November 28, 2019, 11:36:59 am I’ve noticed that some on this Forum carry every tool sold by Home Depot. These folks are a rolling toolbox and spare parts depot. Then there’s others who carry duct tape and a credit card. We’re somewhere in the middle, which still include duct tape and a credit card. 1 Likes
