  Like the list & shirt suggestions. I’m a 15 yr long inspector, have & use almost every tool mentioned. Just a few more that I use that might be a consideration for inspectors in the Mid-west area. Knee pads, gloves, & a couple Tyvek  overalls for those crawl space areas. Also a decent hard hat, boots, & neon safety vest for those new builds if you ever inspect them. Just a word of mention on a ladder. There’s of course times when a 20’ ladder is needed. A drone can verify items of concern if you have one, (which I do), but you need the time and be proficient in using  it. Time is money. Anyway, I found that a good telescopic ladder 12-15’ is a time & space saver. It goes everywhere with me on every job. Has never let me down and is one of my absolute must have tools. Right up there with a circuit tester, screwdriver, & flashlight! It’s honestly a must have! If mine broke? I’d buy another one tomorrow. It’s that important to me. Thanks for the other tips. Keep up the great inspection work.

  Great video! Man did I have a hard time find a PreTea meter like it was pronounced and spelled in the video. It's a Protimeter! Lol

  Hey Chris, I personal use the Fenix PD36R. It has a tactical switch on the tail alleviating the issue of the flashlight turning on in your pocket.
