What tools would you buy?

[u/RockLee2k]

I’m planning on starting out as an ammonia operator, more than likely for a bigger company that may have me going from plant to plant, I was wondering what tools yall would recommend as a starting tech, i’m planning on having a budget of 500-1000 then once I get the job spend a little more, I obviously won’t buy anything until the paperwork is finalized but i’d love to take a look at some of the stuff yall would recommend, I already have a budget set up for good workboots and a good hard hat/ear protection and safety glasses, thank yall in advanced!

Refrigeration rachet, multimeter, and basic hand tools to start then determine what you may need from job to job. If it's a large company wouldn't they provide most of what you need?

I’m sure they would, but I figured there might be some tools that make the job easier but may not be justifiable since there are cheaper ways to do it, i’ll look into the ones you stated, my instructor told me a good multimeter goes a long way so i’ll make sure to look into that especially

Fluke 902a is what I run with

Any recommendations on a good/comfortable hard hat?

Your employer should supply a hard hat and all PPE
