wasted trips

[reverunbilly]

once you've got up the ladder or in the attic to the unit to be repaired. what is the no.1 most forgotten tool?

[MikeJ]

my brain, no wait, that's when I go fishing.

My flashlight?

Flashlight

[docholiday]

My luck is it would simply be the tool I need the most, but thats ok, as soon as I get up there, I realize I should have went to the restroom beofore I climbed my fat a$$ up there. At least my trip down will be worthwile one way or the other.

flashlight

[Senior Tech]

I could take the whole truck up there and still need something I didn't have...

[bigbird]

I forget why i went up in the attic.

[square2round]

Depends on what kind of job I'm doing in the attic.

[karsthuntr]

How many of us are lazy enough to try a tool that we have instead of going back to the truck to get the right tool? And then end up wasting more time in the process and still have to go get the right tool.




Guilty




Note:
I keep my flashlight and my Gerber on my side.

[topdog]

Yeah,but your light stayed on and the batteries are dead.

mag charger light always in belt loop, most tools in tool box. damn forgot to pee first

[Black Adder]

happens all the time, go up ladder forget what I went up for in the first place. Thought I would try something new, stopped halfway up ladder to think of what it was, 3 minutes later, can't remeber if I was going up the ladder to get something or coming down the ladder to get something.

Getting older really is a bitch....LOL

[derrick1623]

man, you guys get to PEE, and use ladders?* thats neet.




* i do use ladders sometimes at work, but never enough time to pee.

[oloenneker]

I alway forget the one tool that I need, but I have this collection of other tools with me that I dont need...

One time I forgot the ladder.

I realize I should have went to the restroom beofore I climbed my fat a$$ up there

Isnt that what the condensate drain pan is for?

[oloenneker]

In new construction I always see the sheetrockers pissing in the battubs . Seems Ok, but they usually have a test plug in them. Smells really nice in those hot summers when that stuff dries out a little.
I am waiting to see one of the doing that to a condensate drain though...

[hiltontech]

Flashlight, I always need one when I go into an attic but seem to always forget about my flashlight, I avg. about 2 flashlights per month, I tend to lose them like hell, my boss is getting ready to start buying me the two for a dollar special

[splitbolt]

It's always the tool I take out of my bag the day before thinking "Hmm. Don't use this one often. I'll take it out to lighten the load....".

[a\c don]

I always carry a LED headlight in my toolbag.

I love those things, keeps both hands free.

Now if I could just remember to pee first.

[chillbilly]

The first tool I need to use.
