Daily carey question
I spent 10 years as a mechanic in the Navy, and now I work in a shop that 's got 3 techs and a "supervisor " ... a tech who's been here a long time....
My shop situation is a story for another day. But i'm on 3rd shift all by my lonesome and I'm tired of trips to my toolbox. I currently cary: pen, sharpie, small screwdriver, and a flashlight. All fit in my top pocket which is nice.
In the Navy I had what we called a "diggit", aka a multitool. I also always carried a pocket knife because I hated digging through my multitool to get the knife out, I mainly had the multi-tool for the pliers, and anything else was a bonus/afterthought.
My work seems to be one of the rare places that buys the techs tools, so i'm looking for a good mulittool with a belt "holster" that ideally has spring opened pliers. And for a reasonable price preferably on McMaster-Kar.
My last knife was a benchmade, but I lost 1 too many screws in the clip so it's gone forever. That knife was my multi-tool. It was a knife, flat-head, chisle, and anything else i could possibly conceive.
Ideally work wouldn't care what i got, but even if they do, i'm open to suggestions. I work in an industrial laundry facility. And I have a penchant for forgetting tools places is that makes a difference
