Ladders and Step Stools

They won’t fit in your toolbox, but you will need the appropriate size for the height you will be working at.

Great idea to have a notepad in your toolbox to make diagrams, to take notes or reminders of how things were before disconnecting them, etc.

Pen, Pencil, Felt Pens, etc.

For obvious reasons.
