Probably the most sensible list posted so far

 

Can't ever go wrong with tools!

[gareth]

Can't ever go wrong with tools!

Apart from the wingnut spanner! If a wingnut (or wingbolt) was supposed to be tightened with the aid of a tool, it wouldn't have wings! It would be an ordinary hex nut or bolt. If a fastener has wings so that it can be tightened by hand, that's as tight as it's supposed to go!

[smalljoshua]

I don't realy class them as equipment but If I did the list would be.

 

12v Makita Drill/Driver

AJ

Screwdrivers - all shapes and sizes

Pliers - Inc Needlenose

Wire Strippers

Tape Measure

Sharpie or two or three

Ratchet straps

and of Course the good ol' Hammer

Indeed... to be honest, the only use I've ever really found for them is doing up 1/4 turn locks on MLs.. and even then, they usually get gerber-ised!

[cedd]

Josh. you've already listed once! That's being greedy!

 

I'd be far more interested to see a list of equipment followed by the title of the student job you have! I swear I never had that much money when I was young (was going to say younger, but I'm feeling old today!). I work 39 hours a week and still can't afford any of the kit I'd like, and I still live at home with my parents.

 

21 years old

My kit;

 

My Van (Herbert - VW transporter 88special)

Allen & Heath GL2400

Soundcraft Folio SX

45m 16x4 multicore

45m 8x4 multicore

Samson Scom4 compressor

JTS UHF beltpack x 2

JTS UHF handheld x 1

Senheiser SK2012 VHF beltpack x 6

CPC special headworn mics x 10

All the other bits and pieces I can never remember - DI's, non branded mics, aerials, cd player, dj mixer,

 

Home built comms system - 6 x beltpacks, 1 x master station.

Home built Cue light system - 5 x outstation, 1 x master station.

 

And boxes of other stuff, hardware and the like.

 

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Matter of opinion really, comes in handy when outrigging / over rigging lanterns, or locking off stuff attached to a clamp with a wing nut. If I'm at work and we're doing specials for a band or something, then I wouldn't bother using it, on a 6 week run when you really don't want things to move then I think it's justified. You see wing nuts in a lot of places that should really have a bolt as well, and if it's gotta to be done up tight then it's gotta to be done up type.

 

 

Anyway, the point of my list is, it's great to own four million pounds worth of sound kit, but ultimately I've used my quad spanner more often than anything else...

[Happy Jack]

I'd be far more interested to see a list of equipment followed by the title of the student job you have! I swear I never had that much money when I was young...

It really is quite amazing!...and yes, I am bitterly jealous.

 

I was going to reel off a few choice bits of mine, but...

 

Forgot to add. I can also hire in most of the stuff I don't have from a great local hire company.

...I'm going to roll with this logic.

 

Equipment

 

A stadium-sized V-Dosc rig. There.

 

Do I win a prize?

[smalljoshua]

I should have added the following "that I have a good deal with".

[Ynot]

Hmmm...

Well, if there's a wing nut without a bolt, I'd say that something's gonna fall pretty soon!!
