Hi One Vision.

In the rare case a dmx lead fails, comes in handy to replace/renew the xlr plugs.

I know that would be one of the reasons but would you actualy do any soldering at a gig? :) I just thought it would make more sense to have spare leads :confused:

Must admit I carry a soldering iron and solder but they are still in the box. TBH chances are they would not be used but carry them 'just incase'

Other Items :

Pliers
Socket Set
Wire strippers / crimpers
Hammer
Screwdriver with various 'bits'
Multimeter
Multi Tool 'thing'
Adjustable Spanner
Hacksaw :confused:
Baby wipes to keep my hands clean :D

Usable electrical items ie fuses, wires etc are carried in my wires box and taken inside with me and the toolbox left in the van.

Screwdrivers...and that's it....:o


....oh and a bit of TLC before and after gigs with putting my gear away.:)
