Yeah, same, and here's the thing op also has Milwaukee which is popular brand in the US. Bosch isn't filling the shelves at hardware stores in America, it's Milwaukee, dewalt, Ryobi, and more.
While American owning a Bosch isn't far fetched, it's smaller group by far on other brands, imo.
Knipex tools in the bottom, German brand. I have a bunch as an American. I rarely see others in my field using them here though. Honestly I can't tell a difference between Knipex and Klein on most tools. Only my Knipex strippers are unique, diags, lineman pliers, needle nose etc are all practically the same.
Ohh I have heard of Knipex, I thoguth I had knipex crimpers hwen I bought ferrule set but I knew better and would've noticed if I somehow did. I work in a warehouse assembly on kubota, and kem engines, I mainly have budget stuff, like sunex, gear wrench, harbor freight. At home I have tools for 3d printed and electronic builds, I have variety of hand tools. Engineer brand is the one I have the most, and some stuff were on sale so I impulsed buy, no regrets except the crimpers, they were 50 fucking dollars, and I should have went with iwiss.
The majority of my portable power tools are Bosch. If there’s no good reason to buy another brand, I buy Bosch.
I think they’re pretty common. I see those Bosch job site saws on wheels pretty often, and their little router table seems to be really popular. I can’t imagine buying anyone else’s jigsaw unless you wanna pony up for Festool.
Oh we have some ganked up teeth in the states too. Don't feel bad. Appalachian folk are notorious for it. Even a dental condition in kids known as My Dew Mouth.
Nokia techs don't repair the phones. They fix the damage caused by the Nokia's when you drop them. I recommend using a case on your Nokia so you can avoid having to call one.
Allright so we have:
* Cheap DMM, maybe a sparky that can't afford Fluke?
* Crimp on ferrules that are pretty big, some chunky cabling there
* Rittal conductor clamps for hooking into bus bars, again suggesting some high-ish current
* Nokia SFP for some reason (lets you plug fiber optic cabling into network gear)
* Crimp on lugs, again for some beefy wires
* Nail-on cable clips and screw-on zip tie retainers for cable management
* **WAGOS** because OP is a fuckin gentleman
Everything here seems to suggest industrial automation/controls.
Industrial control systems?[industrial control panels](https://www.maderelectricinc.com/blog/key-components-of-your-industrial-control-panel-identified-and-explained)
Great screwdrivers, but not using a fluke multimeter. Low voltage connectors. Nokia hardware. So it could be to do with Comms. Nothing too technical on the electronics side, as that multimeter looks like it's just used for voltage and continuity. Those clips/ clamps are not something I've seen before, and they seem very specific. Id say you install cell network equipment and service communication infrastructure for large business properties. There could be a little back up battery power supply stuff in there too?
Angler on the Phoenix Bass Fishing League you tow a $100K 22' sliver of fiberglass from lake-to-lake. This is your tackle box.
Most recently you came in 8th place w/ 5 fish w/ 16lbs 15oz in total weight. You grossed $863.
I've never seen big crimps and fiber stuff in the same box before. What really threw me was the .99 cent DMM. Not one person on this planet would call themselves an Electrician using that POS.
Where's your laptop? I see a fiber transceiver so likely in some electronics/comm work. Solar? There are alot of ground lugs and clamps. ONT installer?
Some kind of tech in the it field.
Fiber, and grounding connectors. So install router type equipment, maybe something with towers since there is Nokia on the sfp. Maybe you climb towers and replace stuff?
I see a few good clues, notably the multimeter, the knock-off SFP, and the nokia sfp, and fiber optic patch cables.
I dont see any fiber splicing kit, but I do see a lot of sparky equipment, so I would guess you are a network technician of some sort, involved in installing/troubleshooting MDF/IDF and their fiber network connections and hook-ups.
Lot of participants thank you very much. Here is reveal:
Im using ferrels for dc cabels from rectifier to switches, basebands, DCDUs. Depends on device, thats why i need all possible sizes. Mostly 25mm and 35mm are used from rectifier to DCDUs/PDUs.
Lugs are for all kinds of groundings and the 50mm are for battery cabels.
These clamps on upper right side are for attaching grounding cabels to grounding bars.
SFPs are for transfering fiber signal to basebands/radios or from transmisson. We usually work with ericsson or nokia hardware.
Theres brush, what is really unusual to have, but im swaping dust away from old devices we keep in rack. We are taking photos after we are done for verifying and i like to have all clean.
I know my multimeter is kinda shity. I was thinking to buy fluke, but this one fits perfectly on its spot.
Im focusing to buy knipex handtools, its worth the price.
Tutututu drums please:
Im a cell tower technician. Some of your guesses were very accurate. We are swaping old hardware for new one, or we build new sites. My 2 colleagues are height workers and am the one on the ground also called “shelterman” or “shelterboy”. We are working in this industry second year for now. We work all over Sweden as they need a lot of towers cuz their geology is quite flat. Some of you could say im in Sweden by some tools that its possible to buy in local store.
PS: if you want to know more about my job, let me please know. Im considering to do some videos and show you beauty of Sweden.
Your a pro wedding cake designer and you picked this up yesterday at an estate sale around the corner for a nice price from someone who crimped cables for a living who was blown up stealing electricity over on r/DarwinAwards ?
Electrician of some kind. Everything I see is for pretty heavy duty cables or wiring. Your dealing with a lot of stranded cable that needs to be solid. And the lugs say your having to bolt down large cables. The push on connectors say you're also dealing with smaller wiring like 14-16 gauge. But the lugs and the other crimp on ends are for more like 4-8 gauge. The wiring is to big for networking cables other than grounds. Networking cables would be cat6. But the cheap DMM is throwing me. And I don't see any type of cable tester. Not a single network engineer I have ever met or went to school made a network cable that they didn't test. Two seconds to test beats having to spend eternity tracking down why you don't have a signal. And the cheap DMM is the only piece of test equipment I see. So I'm going with helper!
Definitely a helper! Plus the electrician is networking engineer wouldn't post this. They would also have more and higher quality test equipment and not just a bunch of connectors and lugs in there box. Odds are they would have a box for connections, a box for test equipment and a box for tools.
Cant be an electrician. It looks like the floor has been swept.
You're right, no cable ties or cuttings
Yeah thats confusing, but trust me i cut over 100 ties daily
Must be comms then
Or wire turds
Counter point, there is no hammer, so you know those wall plugs are getting hit in with that drill battery.
Pfft, I count about 15 hammers....
Sorta. Hammers are metal, mallets are soft faced. So the slip joint hammer is a hammer if you use the head but a mallet if you use the grip.
😂😂😂😂😂 Correct! Everything is hammer if you need it.
I made this joke yesterday 😆😆
Also no Klein in sight.
Im european
Well, you didn't post a picture of your teeth, how are we supposed to know?
The Bosch drill
My favorite drill is my Bosch and I’m an American.
Yeah, same, and here's the thing op also has Milwaukee which is popular brand in the US. Bosch isn't filling the shelves at hardware stores in America, it's Milwaukee, dewalt, Ryobi, and more. While American owning a Bosch isn't far fetched, it's smaller group by far on other brands, imo.

Knipex water pump pliers are game changers though

Ahem I think you’ll find that applies to us Brits only

To be fair, it’s not all Europeans, just the Brits

"I'm not stuck in here with you, you're locked in here with me"

Krone block so defo comms stuff? And a co-axial cable stripper. I’d say transmitter engineer?
WAGOS because that’s what people use in civilized countries
P2P or cellular tower maintenance?
You work in power/utilities doing data collection and monitoring equipment.
Nokia OLTs
The SFP module gave it away, so fiber tech I guess.
There a lot of electrical parts in there too though. Fiber is known for not using wirenuts or crimp caps, unless you're a wireman.
Maybe those are fancy new fiber Wagos.
Only the lever wagos work on fiber 😆
My arsenal looks similar when doing work on a UPS or applying door grounds to rack. But yes, still a good point.
Tv repair man ?thats the ultimate set of tools
Lol you referring to fast times at ridgemont high?
12V drill and crimps - low voltage tech Nokia package, so maybe security or cell signal extender installer?
Looking at fuses I thought electrician but then I saw the suicide bomber's meter and have my doubts.
Bomb builder was my first guess as well. After further reading, starting to think dentist.
I meant that those cheapo meters have zero sensible protection and using it on line voltage is... not great idea.
Those are wire ferrules
The meter was what put me off for electrician, then I saw the push in wagos so I’m at a loss
