[Shop-talk] Facility Tool List

[Pat Horne]

Off hand it looked like a good deal if the quality was good. But when I got to the end of the list I saw that of the 1141 pieces that 1000 are considered consumable parts. 

There are some consumable items on this list that you will need but I suspect not half of them. 

I suggest you build your own set just buying your tools in smaller sets such as listed in Granger list. It will take longer but you won’t end up overpaying & not have to deal with all the cruft you won’t ever use. 

Be sure to include safety equipment & a first aid kit. 

Peace,
Pat

Thanks for all the answers so far - I've received some very helpful suggestions. Since I work for the Government, I have required sources (GSA)...for this sort of thing there's some variety, and usually manufacturer names are mentioned.  In the process of searching generically for "maintenance tool set", I found this item:

https://www.grainger.com/product/MOBILE-SHOP-1141pc-Preventative-Maintenance-4HFZ3 

This looks like a good way to solve about 65% of my problem with one purchase.  But I'm not sure about the quality of anything included.  It looks very handy, and I can replace cheap tools, but I could also build my own if I felt it was an advantage. 

Anyone have any experience with these?
