basic scrapper tools

For those of you that run the roads, what do you can as far as tools go? I carry side cutters, 9-in-1 Greenlee screwdriver, 16oz rip claw hammer, 18" crowbar, bolt cutters but they suck, Crescent wrench, Channellocks and Vise-Grips. I just go the Dead-On tools Exhumer but I'm finding it near useless for this. Best used in the house. It's sexy though. I also carry a razor knife. Looking for more tips. Any suggestions?

Take your flashlight and a magnet.

and MrD, Appetite for Destruction is a year older than me, ha.

back to the point of this thread:

In my car i usually have vice grips, adjustable pliers, side cutter, ball pein hammer, couple screwdrivers, and i usually carry my electric Snap On screwdriver with me...makes removing stuff so much faster...plus i have a small tool box with cheap wrenches/sockets in it.

****, you bad! Hehehe. Have a very Merry Christmas Scrapette! lb

Hammer, flashlight plus my phone has a light on it, magnet is always on my truck.

I always have a Fenix flashlight in my back right pocket. I also carry a fixed blade knife of some sort. I do have an awesome Estwing hatchet. I would love to wear it everyday but the sheath is backwards for me and I don't want to hang it from a hammer loop. I have magnets but I keep losing them.

Man, I will never forget hearing welcome to the jungle, finally a decent song!! That was a bad time for rock. I always like a good pair of Wiss Aviation snips for wire cutting, a short handle 3lb sledge, and a cordless scewdriver/drill. If you can find an old railroad spike puller, they are awesome for leverage and extracting buried stuff

I think, hand scraper is one of the best single tool. It is used to scrap metal from a surface. Razor knife is also good scraper tool used to cut, slice or paper etc.

When the white man discovered this country Indians were running it
no taxes, no debt, women did all the work.
White man thought he could improve on a system like this. - Old Cherokee saying <<

i am guessing those old cherokees had not met scrapette yet. or maybe they did and perhaps that is why there are fewer cherokees?

I carry a small tool bag with all my "essentials".
Mostly because my truck runs poorly, so in-case I have to "ditch" it (don't want more than I can carry, besides that a tool box would take up valuable space/weight).

OFF TOP OF MY HEADsort of in order):

-Klien lineman pliers (sidecutters) (These are ALWAYS with me when I get out of truck).
-6 way screwdriver (the sockets fit MOST HVAC screws, other stuff)
-Klien electrical hammer (it has an awkward looking long nose, and straight claws, but great for demo ,IMO)
-Channel-lock pliers (two: one larger other smaller, blue handles, srry forgot the sizes)
-Basic english measurement sockets, and an extension for the socket wrench
-Allen wrench set: just a cheap "Husky" brand english measurement (all I've needed)
-Sometimes "Torx" set sockets..also just a cheap "Husky" brand set.(HATE Torx...stupid)
-Klien cable cutters :the plier size with red handles that look like finger removers.
-I Had a 3lb. hammer that DESTROYED whatever it hit, but it got stolen from back of truck.
-Flat screw-driver ,and two "stubbies"
-Cheap set of box end wrenches (english size)
-needle-nose pliers
-one vise-grips
-I keep my angle grinder (very valuable tool) at home since it's AC ...wish I had a battery one, or a power-inverter that could power it.
-I keep my hack-saw, and Monkey-wrench at home usually too (although I need them sometimes).
-Just got a small Bolt-cutters...

I'll think of more later , Gotta go, (I'm not at home, my window is missing ATM, and my tools are in the truck ...makes me nervous)...
I'll think of More later.

Thanks Dumb. That's what I was looking for. I carry Knipex linesman and sidecutters. I have yellow handled Wiss snips. I have a Greenlee 9-in-1 screwdriver and some Craftsman screwdrivers. I keep a hammer and some crowbars. I keep Vise-grips and Channellock 420's. I have Crescent wrenches and Allen keys. Razor knife of course.

Sweetie, you put me on the wrong side of that fight! One of my ancestors had a native wife (and a european one) long story - we're really lovers, not fighters in my family! <<<

there are a couple of natives way back on my side of the family. along with some old black irish. however, i am not going to argue with a lady that carry's a hatchet and a gun. i am simply going to agree and then keep my mouth shut.
