Sticky Tabs

[jmo]

How many rolls of sticky tabs do your guys leave at jobs per year?
Seems like we are always buying new rolls.
Do you guys make employees pay to replace?

 

[Mikey P]

good question..

My guys and me take off what we need, stick them to our shirts and leave the roll in the truck.

lock them to a shelf...

 

[D Luke]

Sticky Tabs are the best! Great value, but that $15 roll of tape gets expensive when you start leaving them behind.

Damn it! That reminds me, I need to buy some more. I keep leaving them in customer's homes. I have a big job tomorrow and need to move furniture. ugh, this is not good.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Cheaper than airmovers and dehumidifiers.

Right pretty frustrating when you need them at the next job. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the end of a roll.

 

[Jim Martin]

way to many rolls went MIA.. so now I make it a habit to put it back on the handle of the lift buddy at all times..

 

[Russ T.]

Yet another reason to work alone. I hardly ever lose anything...like, hose hooks last me YEARS.

Then I get some help on the truck...

 

[Old Coastie]

I keep mine in the same satchel as the sliders.

Also keep a spare box on the van.

My boy is legend where this is concerned

 

[Mark Saiger]

Have to say lucky with this....

and I love my sticky tabs!

 

[hogjowl]

Shut up
Nobody likes your HAPPY ASS!

 

[Mark Saiger]

Shut up
Nobody likes your HAPPY ASS!

Just so you know...I've been a whiny B**ch today if that makes you happy....

 

[Old Coastie]

Even if he isn’t, I’m pretty satisfied.

 

[Nate The Great]

You know when it's missing..

 

[hogjowl]

Not enough sliders

 

[Nate The Great]

Not enough sliders

Only the heavy sh!t gets sliders.. The rest get tabbed...

 

[BIG WOOD]

Only the heavy sh!t gets sliders.. The rest get tabbed...

I didn't know you were in the furniture moving business also.

Screw that. I don't bring any furniture movers for that very reason

put some bigger wheels on that lift buddy...it works better for higher things and it gives you much better leverage.....

 

[hogjowl]

Not enough blocks

what I find strange is that no one calls you to tell you that you forgot them...

I guess they think they scored a free roll of packing tape or something...

 

[jmo]

We have got some back a year later when we clean again, you guys left this hear last time you cleaned.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

We old timers tried them but they are too labor intensive. Prefer the old fashioned cardboard tabs. Faster, easier, cheaper at least for us.

 

[Nomad74]

I can't get to the supply store before it opens for my next job. I guess I'm going to hack it out with ziplock bags.

 

[Jimmy L]

On the lift buddy here

Where do you get those bigger wheels Jim?

Had that happen once at a commercial job. It was a carpet wand. they kept it nice and safe in their janitor's closet.

 

[Old Coastie]

It seems obvious, but establish a depot near the door. Put down a clean moving blanket and park your vacuum, spotting gear, chemicals and other equipment on it.

Make it a habit. Make the elves adopt the habit. Then make them do a slow walk through after every job.

But you will still leave something now and then.

Idiot

 

[KevinD]

For all you operators and techs that leave or forget stuff.

Establish two rules.

Never ever set anything up on anything!

When finished with something always place it on the floor behind you towards the door that you are working out of!

I never found them to be that terrific. Don't know if I got a bad batch without a lot of adhesive but I had a lot of difficulty getting them to stay on.
