Depends what the job is too, what you’re carrying etc.

I just take the obvious things, diesel gloves, rigger gloves, torch, multitool(knife, screwdriver etc), map, normal gloves + hat coz it’s fridgework and a spare ratchet strap for load securing, got a few bulbs in my bag somewhere too.

Also seperate from my packed lunch I take a flask of hot water and an instant pot pasta thing, as you never know how long your day can end up being, and nothing worse than an unexpected 4hour wait on some yard with no food/drink available and starving to death coz you ate your lunch hours ago. I’ve yet to end up on a night out due to running out of hours, but i I do i’ll have no night out kit with me, just too much to lug around when it’s v.unlikely i’ll need it.

You need to say what type of work it is. Can’t tell you what to take without knowing that because different work requires different tools.
