back to my climbing gear

tower tool box:




There are lots of different tool boxes to pick from. I got one that has most of its pockets on the inside,
to help reduce the risk of drops. I've attached a rope that lets me clip it to the tower while keeping it
level.

The pockets includes a pliers, diagonal cutters, box cutter, screwdriver, crescent wrench, and heavy scissors.
In the box there is a loose hardware tube, mastic, electrical tape, wire ties, plus a pouch for wrenches and
for small-to-medium deep-well sockets.

I have attached a small close-able link to any tools that don't already have a reliable way to tether them,
except for the screwdriver.

Finding a pouch to hold wrenches was difficult. Common pouches were either not long enough, or excessively
tall and wasted too much space. I tried using a "microphone pouch" that was the perfect size, but it lacked a
tether point (which I insist on for all my other pouches), had a fragile small zipper, and ended up not being
very durable. So I settled on a Milwaukee, which is absolutely perfect except for being a little larger than
I'd like. The wrenches are tethered to a small s-biner so they can be removed as a group and connected to the
tower (or tool S-biner) immediately.

There's a little bit of room inside to carry other things like U-bolts, hose clamps, etc, as the job requires.
Most of the tools are generic Menards "Masterforce" brand, although I did opt for a vice-grip diagonal cutter
and a Knipex electrical shears.
