For Tone gen, Fluke makes the gold standard. They also have a cheaper version.
You didn't mention a probe, so maybe you are looking for a cable certifier?. That's super expensive though. if you just have to test that there is continuity and not certify the cables, you can use this, or this if you want to look like a pro.

As for Screwdrivers, Wiha makes the best screw drivers, hands down. I have this set for working on electronics & laptop repair. Magnetic tool-kits are fine. This isn't the 80's anymore. There aren't too many magnetically sensitive items inside a computer anymore. especially with the advent of SSD drives.

As for a toolbox, depending the work, I prefer a tool bag or pouch.

Good luck, hope that helps. What helped for me when I started was to go to harbor freight and just get an assortment of tools. As I worked I slowly replaced the stuff I used all the time with quality gear, and didn't have to burn myself buying expensive tools and gear that I would never use.

I have been using this bag for several years now, not even a blemish on it. It doesn't have a ton of tool space though.

Manhattan Portage can be pricey, but very good quality.

There are peripheral locking kits that let you pass the usb (or other) cables through metal brackets that are in turn secured with the same steel cables you use to lock the desktop/monitor/laptop. eg, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036Z9TNU

put one of these outside your building or call your local IT Training center and ask them for referrals.

In the end it is your choice, I'm just trying let you know that cargo pants can be viewed as unprofessional in an office environment.

Chinos\khakis are actually perfectly usable for the situation you are describing. My Dockers have 5 pockets - if that not enough I should be using a bag.

Suggestions:

> usb cable and power plug for my phone

Front left pocket (side opposite of keys)

> a small pouch full of flash drives

Consolidate these with a tool like YUMI and keep everything on 1-2 large drives.

I keep a single Verbatim TUFF 'N' TINY 32 GB drive on my keychain, it holds all the bare essentials I would need to rebuild most of my systems from scratch.

> 7" tablet

Back left pocket (opposite of your wallet)

> Zalman VE-300

Reconsider the need for this on your person. With a basic YUMI multiboot setup you won't need the Zalman unless things are seriously broken. If you trim back your flash drive collection though, you should still have room for it in one of your pockets.

Put the Zalman, extra flash drives, and a few other basic tools\cables in a small tool bag and bring that when you expect to need them or if you are parking far away.
