field/inspection kit contents
trying to put together a nice field/inspection kit for site visits and investigations (analysis). here's what i have so far... suggestions would be appreciated. pelican case level plumb bob geologists pick/hammer multi-screwdriver knife 30'tape measure 100'-200' cloth tape fillet weld gauges flashlight/headlight calipers scraper/wire brush digital camera crack gauge grease pencils locking pliers find a job or post a job opening small pry bar safety glasses. bandaids. simple calculator. paper, pencils. business cards. gloves. large print scale/ruler to give scale to pictures. cell phone. i checked my bag. here are a few other items come in handy: 6 foot folding rule (i can't be with this!) extra batteries for your camera awl duct tape lumber crayon ear plugs i always keep some boots and a set of old clothes in my bag in case i have an emergency site visit that i wasn't dressed for. binoculars, magnifying glass, camera tripod. you'll always need what you don't have with you. does "calipers" mean a dial caliper? or the divider-looking-thingies? anyway, consider a micrometer or dial/ digital caliper. i always have a magnetic particle test kit dye penetrant kit 100 ft electrical cord gfci adapter multimeter 750watt power inverter fold-up ladder claw hammer engineer's mallet marking paint transparent packing tape (for paint adhesive testing) range of pencils from 2b to 6h for paint hardness testing extra batteries compass wow, thanks folks.... alot more responses than i had expected. 1. digital camera 2. 35' steel tape (if you can find it, the 35' tape is great because it seems to extend farther without folding than 30' or shorter tapes. i think they use a heavier gauge steel for it. 3. 100' cloth tape 4. dial caliper (by general, 6") 5. binoculars 6. small magnet (for checking out stainless steel) 7. wood handled awl 8. cold chisel 9. mason's hammer 10. heavy cloth work gloves and also latex gloves 11. mag lites, small and large, with extra batteries. also a mag lite belt loop, very handy if you are going to be on a ladder or scaffold. keeps a hand free. 12. mica pencil and grease pencil 13. screwdriver with changeable tips 14. two-cartridge respirator. (usually store it a plastic ziplock bag- the filters last longer that way) 15. fluorescent spray paint 16. ziploc bags for samples 17. folding make-up mirror (for looking sideways in tight spaces!!) 18. 100' of mason's twine 19. lock level (topcon makes a decent one) 20. earplugs 21. duct tape 22. retractable utility knife 23. prybar 24. ctl crack comparator gauge thats the basic load. it fits in a contractor's satchel. depending on where i'm going i may also carry other things such as a tyvek suit, hardhat, stud finder, digital thermometer or psychrometer, crack gauges, battery powered drill, etc. etc. i probably should also carry eye protection but the glasses always seem to get scratched and gummed up and thus useless. somebody should start a post about the worst place they ever had to go with this stuff ("crawlspaces i have known and loved"). hand held tape recorder for note taking. has anybody mentioned a dusk mask? sometimes were not 100% sure of what we are digging into, also have index cards with me so i can write a note and place it in the picture at times. in addition to a digital camera i always have a small 35mm camera (with date record) in case i feel a picture maybe required for legal reasons. |
