Generically, pack for the worst case. Screw extractor bits are invaluable when you need them. Whatever drill you choose, either make sure you can charge it where you go or bring a transformer. Small screw drivers, kobalt 4" diagonal cutting pliers, and rubber mallets have gotten me out of trouble. — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 5:19 AM, Aaron Glenn <aaron.glenn@gmail.com> wrote:
Greetings My Ten Thousand Closest Friends, I have a requirement to stock an actual, physical toolbox with power tools, drill bits, and other useful accoutrements one would use in a 'typical' datacenter. Can any one recommend brands/models of (preferably cordless) power tools they've used successfully? Reading Amazon reviews is killing my few brain cells that remain. Any "and you should think about stocking $X, $Y, and a couple of $Zs in your tool chest" you could impart on the list (besides the right kind of cage nuts and enough rj45 jacks)? I have that sinking suspicion my comprehensive list is not comprehensive enough. I get one true shot at this as the datacenter is very, very far from any 1st-world suppliers[1] Very grateful for any cluebats you are able to spare on this (marginally off) topic. Best, aaron.glenn [1] Hargeisa, Somaliland; if you must know.
