That ground rod driver is also useful for concrete form stakes and there are driver bits that are for the 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 hex for air and electric jackhammers and there is a Hilti shank that is similar to the SDS max on their demo only hammers. But they easiest to drive a ground rod is with that sledge hammer target you have and s mini excavator with a plate tamper yes it takes to people but it goes in shale easy .

I hesitate to buy the cable stapler, because it multiplies the cost of stapling, but I might eventually buy one for crawlspaces. on the other side of the coin, I carry an M-18 framing nailer in the truck. it makes adding blocking a heck of a lot faster and easier.

I still have my greenleee ratchet set, but I also carry a milwaukee cordless, and I keep a pair of P&R bits in the cordless set for the pilot hole. I've also upgraded from my ratched cable cutter to an M-12 cable cutter. partly because I hit a messenger wire with my hand cutter and the M-12 was the same price.

when the ground rod hits a rock, I get a small clamp and clamp the trigger on the rotohammer, then adjust the speed control so it doesn't bounce itself off the rod and go do something else for a while. with some models, you can stick a pair of linemans pliers in the handle and hold the trigger.

your temp drop cord needs a 4S box, and a GFCI in an industrial cover. it also needs to not have the nuke and ground twisted together. then if you want to get fancy, get a chinese finger trap strain relief and set it on the panel end. and hey, presto, you have an official completely compliant temporary power installation.. I usually make them with 12-3 UF and use a 2 pole breaker and two GFCIs, though. never had an inspector complain.

Nice list. The only one I was unaware of was the ground rod cap...great idea. My temporary receptacle is an 1110 box/cover with a short length of BX (armored cable). The breaker finder is good but much more useful if you can find one with adjustable sensitivity. The stapler is the only item I would forego since I don't do much Loomex (Romex) work (and speaking of that, was that paper inside your cable? In Canada we only have the bare ground wire inside our non-metallic cables, aside from cabtire). I would add step bits to the list instead...very handy for steel stud work.

It's slow as fuck if you have a lot to do. I've got some heat guns from when I worked in a foundry (they tossed em cause the ceramic tubes had some cracks). They'll ramp up to 900F. You have a high / low setting and a high / low fan setting, and then a damper on the intake, so you can adjust actual heat. They're absolutely amazing for doing PVC. Especially on equipment where it requires a hell of a lot more than simple bends.
@kenbrown2808

@ObservationofLimits I've always found heat guns more limiting. A good blanket in good condition gives me a much smoother bend, and for compound bends, i can just step it down the pipe. Addendum: I've had cold days when a heat gun just couldn't get enough heat into the pipe without scorching it.

Everybody raves about the M12 Surge, and if I could go back in time I'd probably start with M12 instead of M18 -- seems like a great mix of smaller, lighter, quieter, and tons of control for an impact. Between brushless and battery tech, the 12V tools of today are *remarkably* performant. Sure, it's not the all-day workhorse if you're building a deck, drilling holes for anchor bolts, or if you need to run a paddle bit through an entire house worth of studs... but if you need that then stick on M18 and go get an SDS or a right-angle boring monster. I personally have the M12 installation driver. It's pricy, but it has pulled my ass out of the fire a few times with those attachments - the clutch on it goes down to basically finger-tight on even small fasteners. I'm not using it to fix a pair of glasses or set/grub screws, but it'll handle even fine thread <1" screws no problem. Also, just a heads up, that Rapidaptor *is not* impact rated. Wera makes solid stuff, so it'll do more than it's listed for, but just a heads up, it might grenade on you unexpectedly. I just got a set of Malco extenders, and while they're pricy they're *quality*. Wera also recently dropped a ratcheting variant of their VDE blade holder (KCTool has it; 057490 837 i RA) if that's a combination of features you want; you might also look at the 'xs' line of slim insulated if you find the 'normal insulation' gets chewed up with what you do.

I have an M12 Surge Fuel driver that i keep at home for shop use. I definitely can appreciate its power, but I do need the extra umph of the m18 for the work day. I have seen the installation driver, and my initial impression has always been that its kind of gimmick-y because of the interchangeable heads. At first; I thought the same of my Wera driver and its removable shaft and bit storage. Perhaps it is worth a look though, I do have a need for delicate driving. Thank you for your comment!
