I guess that depends partially on what's on your rig.

Here's a partial list for me:

2 crescents
1 large channel lock
1 pliers
1 set of screwdrivers (various sizes and shapes including hex, star, torx, etc)
1 sockets set (large, SAE and Metric)
1 hammer
teflon tape
duct tape
hose clamps
Fittings to fix hoses
various viton seals and O rings

Other things not necessarily tools:
Push broom
Squeegee
scrub brush (large and small)
Garden Hose sprayer/wand/ballvalve and nozzle or any means to rinse with a garden hose
Rubber boots
Nitrile gloves
safety googles
first aid kit (including eye wash)
respirator (w/ extra filters)
couple of large carbiners
hat for shade
sunscreen
cell phone
cooler (full w lots of water)
proposals, business cards, flyers, etc


maybe more than you were asking for, but... hey you can always ignore me, lol

That's perfect, I know if something goes down on your rig you can be up and running in no time.

I want the same thing...

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna print this out to have as a checklist.

Great ideas, guys!

We recommend AGAINST teflon tape. Think about what you see when you remove fittings that you have used to connect with teflon tape. Usually, most of the tape is GONE.

Where did it go? If is is before the pump (between the tank and pump or the suction side), it may end up causing some downtime in the middle of a job. Depending on where it is lodged, it may provide symptoms which will result in requiring the removal of the glob of teflon tape during a job. If the tape comes off on the discharge side of the pump, you may have to stop in the middle of the job while on a roof to clean out your clogged nozzle.

PWP recommends 'pipe dope' or liquid teflon. It can be found at any hardware store in the plumbing area.

DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE ON YOUR PRESSURE WASHER EQUIPMENT for similar reasons. We strongly recommend using MEDIUM THREADLOCK.

I carry extra 5 gallon buckets in case I need to mix TSP if I empty my tank. I also carry a manual tank syphon pump to pump the SH on my trailer into the mixing tank when i'm on the road. Remember the MSDS sheets 
   I also carry bungee cords to secure my ladder and secure items to the trailer

I carry a few faucet handles. I do a fair amount of work for absentee owners and they have a habit of removing the handles when they leave.

Good call. I use pipe dope. The yellow stuff. Sometimes if you go to the right supply house you can get "chemical resistant pipe dope" which, one would imagine is the best.
