Carrying Inspection Gear
John Mace, owner of Harbor Home Inspections of Marblehead, Mass., has come up with a unique
container for his inspection tools. “I’ve looked at bags, toolboxes, suitcases and all kinds of
construction pouches and haven’t been able to come up with what I wanted,” said Mace. “I only carry a camera, a pocket PC and a flashlight on my belt. The rest is in my box, which weighs about 16 pounds. It holds over 25 items.”
The box pictured above holds the following :
- 2-ft. probe
- flashlight
- infrared thermometer
- moisture meter
- laser measure
- carbon monoxide tester
- digital camera
- battery powered screwdriver
- 2 hand screwdrivers
- thermometer
- gas detector
- tape
- mirror
- gfi and arc fault testers
- 2 AC sensors
- headband light
- radon test kit
- popcorn to test microwave ovens
- a clear pocket on the end to hold license and thin documents
