TOP 5 HI Tools

Bob,

Have you used that articulating ladder at it’s max 18’ hieght? Is it a telescoping style ladder?

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. From all that I have read, the biggest theme is keep it simple!

Yes same as a little giant with little price…lol
Yes use it to max on occasion.

I use a large screw driver :smiley:

It is one of those mini pry bars.
What Stephen said and also for catch basin covers my sausage fingers can’t lift with a quarter jammed at the side.
Should have added ‘B’ knife for painted box covers.

#1 tool: credit card processor.

Not sure how something I have no need for could be number 1.
Rare times client not there Agent brings the check or I send a PP link in a email.

No one listed a pressure gauge for the water system?
Listing the water PSI is on just about every report I have seen but not in our SOP?
