I feel like Batman with my toolbelt/arsonal.
Hammer
Philips
Straight
Chissel
Side-cutters
Knife
Sheetrock Saw
strippers
Tester
Tape
two most commonly needed nut spinners
pocket of 6-32's
pocket of 8-32's
pocket of staples
pocket of common size wire-nuts
pocket of odd wire-nuts
pocket of ground screws/crimps
pocket of sheet-rock screws

Though I very much envy an old coworker that said and lived by:"If it can't be done with sidecutters and screwdriver, it can't be done." That's all he carried.
