I have just started as a first year electrical apprentice also. The toolbox consists of:
screwdrivers (flatblade from 5mm to 10mm wide-various length, phillips & Pozidrive from number '0' to '3')
hammers (claw, ball-pein & 4lb sledge)
sidecutters
multimeter (cost me $80 in 1992)
bull-nose pliers
pens, pencils & textas (marking pens)
tape (masking & insulation)
one & two-screw connectors
small notebook
three pin extension cord socket (used to put on the plugs of equipment you might be working on so no-one gives you a 240 volt 'surprise'

In the ute, theres a 1/2" socket set, set of open ended spanners (metric & imperial), a 7' ladder, a total of 80 metres of extension cord, drills, drill bits, crowbar, wrecking bar, 20 litres of water, roll of toilet paper (crap wrap), rope, length of fencing wire for hooking snakes out of switchboards, first aid kit (for when the snake latches onto you), a tin of hardware, shovel, tow hitch, bits of wire, a brick (?) ...maybe thats why the Hilux only does 95kph flat out...
