   When you send an installer into the field, what do you expect him/her to take along?

   How does the type of installation (customer installation, tower site, single AP, etc) change this?

   In your business, which tools and equipment are deemed to be 'company supplied' and which are deemed to be 'employee supplied'?

   If some of the tools and equipment are employee supplied, do you provide a tool allowance for any of it, or is the employee expected to purchase and maintain the gear at his/her own expense?

   I am a contractor that does network administration as well as the installs. I have to supply my own tools as it is too hard for the society that I work for to keep inventory and responsibility for them. I carry the following with me to a general client install:

   Paladin RJ45 Crimpers
   Xacto Knife
   A set of ratchet socket wrenches
   Cordless Drill
   3/8 nut driver bit for roofing screws
   3/8 hand nut driver for the weather cap and L bracket nuts
   400 watt inverter for the car
   Laptop
   2 straight through cables, POE and adapter
   A sattellite mast to mount the dish/radio
   Cable tester
   Zip ties
   Staple gun with 3/8 and 9/16 rounded staples
   General Cable brand CAT 5 cable
   RJ 45 ends
   Large crescent wrench to tighten the black piece to the weather shield
   3m weather proofing tape
   Plumbers white thread tape
   3/8 wood and metal drill bit for the hole of the CAT 5 to fit through without ends

   The consumable materials are supplied by the society and the main tools are mine.

   I carry the same tools for a radio to go on a tower, or if it is an AP in our system. If constructing a tower, of course there are many different components and tools that would be needed.

   I may have missed something, but that is what stands out in my memory at this time.
