The Pond Tool Box

I have a coffee cup and a good book in mine... at all times! 
Seriously though, we live close enough to lots of retail places that I could get just about anything I needed at the drop of a credit card. And Amazon delivers things to my house before I'm even really sure I need it, so I don't keep much on hand.

I do have one . Assorted hand tools, screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, tape, rope. Its a long walk down hill to the ponds. An even longer walk up hill to the basement to get a tool to work on a pump or anything else. We have a deck tote at the pond site to hole supplies as well as for seating.

I usually don't need anything, but I do keep a few tools reachable. Screwdriver, adjustable wrench, rubber hammer (takes the leaf basket lid off). Usually never with me if I need them. But good exercise climbing up and down that hill.
I like to think my work requires zero maintenance afterwards mallet, silicone, channel locks, zip ties, bottle o prime, mesh bags, TOWELS, crud net and food currently. Candy wrapper...dead duckweed...

No pond box but I keep a long handled net handy in the garage for bottom scooping. Gotta have my super pointy short screw driver sorta thingy handy under a table on my porch for when my little pond edge filter pump gets plugged. It's a good digger outer thingy. Most of my other pond stuff is in my garden shed not far from the pond. Stuff like extra pump, extra netting, tubing and various other items too numerous to mention.
