Infrared Detector Card. Not super important in a world where everything is IP and Serial but i use mine all the time for troubleshooting.
[Link: amazon.com] An option for the IR detection card (I know I have a couple but not where they are) is a smart phone that has a camera on the face- these (definitely iPhone, don't know for sure about others) do show IR when a remote is aimed toward the lens.
And something we rarely think of for a service kit...but SOOO important. How many times have you had to re-terminate water resistant cable thats filled with grease or gel...or had to dig around in cables that have been stored in an attic.
I don't like the ones with silicone- it works, but squeezes out and heat can cause it to leave the connector. I have switched to Heat N Seal terminals and have never had a failure.
They come in high and low temperature versions- some create a soldered joint, some are crimped and heated.
Man sized nitril gloves. NAPA has black gloves that are much more durable than many, in case someone doesn't have Fleet Farm/Farm & Fleet, Tractor Supply, etc.
