A Smith and Wesson hole puncher and a Buck knife is what you forgot. You gotta protect your greatest tool, and thats yourself.

Power inverter to charge batteries, we run drill, saw all, impact, and back pack sprayers, which all require charging batteries. I bought one from harbor freight and has been running for 3 years

Extra fuses, zip ties, extra water, hammer, I have about half what you have in your truck, but this has been a normal occurrence for me ever since I started driving, just something I taught myself, ( assistant Manager for Valvoline, 98 ), plan for the unexpected, but have when needed, growing up in northern Minnesota you tend to learn these for winter driving, becomes habit after while . Great tips Stanley . 👍 .

Good idea on the change of clothes. Duct tape, electrical tape, volt meter

[rexhargrove]

I can always count on you to cover the things that really benefit guys out there working in the field.
I’ve been carrying a complete change of clothes down to my socks for years. It’s made a world of difference after a downpour, fuel spill etc

1:55 it’s so much more than a roll of wire, it’s bailing wire. And it can fix anything and everything in the field.
I was raised on a farm and this stuff is absolutely golden when it comes to problem solving.

the trade makes a definite difference. I have no risk of getting soaked in anything, but my work truck is all toolbox.

"21 things i keep in my work truck" shows two items in work truck and proceeds to walk around the house pointing out 19 other items

Couple other things I always have in my vehicle are a car battery jumpstart the tiny lithium ion ones but rated at least 2000A but I like 3000A for bigger equipment. A set of jumper cables as a backup or for more juice, first aid kit, blood stop(bleedstop), charge cables for phones, a batt powered 10inch chainsaw (Handy bugger if you live around wooded areas) mines a cheap Bauer and it's been a dang champ, tire plug kit, tire slime or other brand tire sealant, a valve stem replacement kit with some Dawn Dish soap for easy install, a decent mechanics tool set w/ hard case, bungee cords that latch onto themselves, decent 6 inch knife, a good jacket preferably waterproof, Tub O Towels(they'll remove just about anything quickly and without water) Ibuprofen in case you get bad cramps from lack of water or salt or just working to hard. I tend to over do it 😂 Gotta get sh*t done! 🤘 Great list btw! Dig all the suggestions. I can't stress a decent sized fire extinguisher enough either. Most people forget that and you didn't! 🤘

[BretteCaldwell]

Surprisingly I’ve got all of this, plus some more specific things in my truck. The only thing I don’t have in the truck is a grease gun. That’s on my trailer.

The only thing I’d add for most folks is a shovel. I carry a Kobalt steel handle and a small garden shovel. But for most people a folding shovel (military spec).
Good video!

Crocodile wipes under the seat for grease, fuel and oily hands (is a must for me), Complete roadside tool set and Milwaukee deep impact socket set, hardhat and hi vis vest behind the seat, with a jumper box and compressor! Any rechargeable magnetic light is nice. I carry a soft bag for my impact, flip sockets and a torque stick, a complete set of Sunex wrenches, small rectangular bucket for aerosols and grease tubes (in the toolbox), a few different adjustable wrenches and channel locks, large bag of zip ties. Plus a small assort of normal hardware and a few small ratchet straps that I've needed here or there or the years.... Just to name a few things

[G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Great list. At your suggestion, I’m throwing a change of clothes + a large garbage bag in my truck. Things i’d add: a roll of heavy duct tape (not the thin HVAC stuff), a set of deep impact sockets & a charger for the batteries that your cordless tools use. Might also consider a couple of shackles to make using tow ropes / straps easier.

Dirt monkey has to be the most educational videos on anything to do with construction or what you need to be successful I appreciate all of your videos

[brianrydzeski]

Thanks Stan. Regarding the air compressor, yes! I also carry tire plugs, plug-tools, and adhesive. If you can find the culprit, you can plug it, air up, and you're on your way. I also carry a heavy duty jump-pack. Mine will jump start diesel engines. All of my tools, have saved me from a lot of trouble.

A 2 in x 4 ft or better galvanized pipe. Also you need lubricant. You need to have a pipe wrench. You have a rusted nut. You need penetrating lubricant such as WD-40 or as such. Pipe wrench can break the nut but spraying it down first. Will keep you from reaming it off not just a nut but the entire bolt. Everything else you covered it. I would advise for anyone to purchase some $10 yellow strobes magnetic that you can throw on the top of your vehicle or your tow vehicle and or trailer. Battery operated or otherwise. In case your pigtail from your tow vehicle to the trailer goes out or blows a fuse. Yes carry extra fuses. If the fuse blows again, use the yellow strobes that are magnetic on the back of the tow trailer so people are aware that there may be an issue. I can't think of a dog own thing other than that. Brother, you covered it. God bless 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[OutDoorAdventures_]

Tire plug kit, case of water always, bug spray/sun screen (I’m in fla), hats, machete, breaker bar, ear plugs

[philiph]

I could type for 10 minutes to cover the items I carry on my truck, but the diesel on the skin. Sheww, that brings back memories. One day as a young man, I had whatever piece of equipment I was under cover me in diesel. I had to work all day in the sun afterwards and it was pure misery. That was after i washed and washed but it was like the worse sunburn ever until i got home to was it off.

The crocodile power scrub cloths are really nice to keep on hand. They have helped me to get grease, fuels, and other crud off me. Most of what you talked about I have on hand myself.

[nicholaserkelenz]

Caution tape, masking tape, tuck tape, a flag for oversized loads, a big adjustable wrench, a pick quik screwdriver, one of those fold out plier multi tool things, some air tool oil (may be specific to carpenters), a respirator, hearing protection and a first aid kit

[c.shoefish]

TP, first aid kit, rain gear, and a bottle of degreaser...for when you get sprayed with diesel (dawn dish soap mix in a spray bottle works great).

[coryohanlan]

First Aid, toolbox w/drill, impact wrench, batteries and charger, impact socket set, air compressor, pry bar, breaker bar, hand tools, battery jump starter, multiple flashlights, knives, crow bar
