I take no tools with me when I’m loading up scrap (never needed any). As far as I am concerned, if it’s metal – it’s money. I don’t care to separate it at that point. I load it all up and take it back to the shop and work on it there. Below, I’ve got a list of the tools that are most handy to me in my shop. If you can’t get it with these, throw it in the shred pile. The most commonly used tool is my Kobalt bitdriver.
Allen wrenches
Bits and bitdrivers
Chisels and punches
Hammers
Pliers (diagonal cutting, linesman, tongue and groove, needle nosed, and locking)
