Re: HELP: Pit Organization Survey

Done.

In the pit, we really only use the 1/8" (#10 button head size, all labeled with "10" on them) T handles and 3/8" wrenches for most repairs, the "B" size (1/4" button head size) for removing bumpers and a few other things, and side cutters to cut zip ties (We zip tie the battery connection every match).

We use only #10-24 bolts or 3/16" rivets when possible. This is *very* important to simplifying tools. We have lots of 3/8" wrenches and 1/8" T handles, so many people can be doing things at once or have the tools in their possession.
