Drill, Impact gun, and angle grinder which all use the same batteries
(angle grinder might seem dumb, but I end up using it regularly for
cutting or shaping almost anything. It's a universal saw and lock opener)
2 drill batteries
charger which can plug into van (one battery lives on charger, the other
lives in the tool, swap as needed)
Long 5/16 bit, long 1/4 bit. Long masonry bit.
A drillbit index for the drill
A driver bit kit for the impact gun
I always have my standard toolbox:
Micro screwdrivers
Standard screwdrivers
Mini socket set with common sizes
open end wrenches in common sizes (maybe 5 metric, 5 ANSI with a
different size on each end of the wrench)
Several types of pliers (linesman, needlenose, common)
Diagonal cutters (big ones, and tiny nippers)
Hammer
Crescent wrench
Vise Grips
Pipe wrench
Micro screwdrivers
Spudger/booger pick
Wire brush
Utility knife with blades
Electrician scissors
Also:
Electrical tape (at least black and white, I usually also have red and
green)
Markers
Zip tie labels
Zip ties
Caulk
I do have a stapler, but I use screw-in anchors more often
You're doing fiber eh?
That means wipes
alcohol
one click cleaners for both common ferrule sizes
a simple VFL
If you're doing phone for or ethernet wiring in the house then you need
the crimpers for that, and maybe a punchdown tool.

Starting to do customer installs on my new FTTH company.
Going with the pre-terminated miniflex/tufflex type of cables.
I used to have a nice tool list for installers. Searching my archives
but not sure I will find it.
So far this is the list:
Electric drill
Bell hangers bit. .250”
Glow rods
Arrow T-18 stapler and staples
Fish tape
What else should I include in a standard installer’s toolbag?
