What's in your data center toolkit?

Coffee
When isn’t this needed?! From late-night requests to 12-hour shifts, we always need to be alert and focused. Coffee is our best friend when we have just experienced a UPS going to bypass, need to write or review an MOP, then perform said procedure. A good reusable coffee cup or travel mug is an investment.

The toolkit bag
I couldn’t finish my round-up without mentioning the toolkit bag itself. After all, this is your pal, your right-hand man, the Goose to your Maverick. You get the idea. It sounds simple, but if your kit bag is too small, you'll end up compromising on what you keep inside it. If it’s too big, you could end up with a swirling mass of tools that you have to dump out on the floor to find the one thing you need.

The ideal bag will be as Goldilocks would want it: just right. That means heavy-duty zippers, double stitching to house heavy tools, some waterproofing and a whole load of pockets, pouches and slots to keep things neat and tidy.
