The Smart Home Handyman

 There still goes on a raging debate over how to transport one's tools and accessories when one is a mobile worker. Whether a specific tradesperson or a free range technician or handyman,  you have to move a lot of stuff to go do your job. As a professional handyman involved in business property services,  I can change kit not just day to day, but multiple times within a day. One place I'm doing minor plumbing.   The next minor electrical.   Then an installation project followed by an assembly project with a repair job somewhere in between.  That's a LOT of different tools, accessories,  hardware,  and materials to keep on hand.

That's what a Pro is.
