Since here are so many zip ties uses in construction, would it be smart to bring my own flush cutters or will there be enough in the field tools to go around? also planning in bringing a good pair of gloves with me! |
If you can get ahold of an extra copy of the Field Assembly manual, bring that to assist whoever is running it. The more copies, the better because it allows people to do things without running back and forth to understand what needs to happen.
Are the carpet cutters (Black Betty or Brown Betty, not utility knives) included in the tool boxes for the field? If not, it would greatly help to get one or two to assist with the carpet. I was introduced to these by the guys setting up lighting while I was working the carpet in Los Angeles.
Rather than bringing just flush cutters, if you have a tool kit that folds up and has a lot of common tools, I'd bring that instead. Just don't loan out tools without knowing who they went to, otherwise, you'll never see them again.
