(OP)
Just curious, what is in everyone's reference binder? The binder that you always refer too the most.
Right now mine is mainly piping specifications
When I did MEP work I had a binder full of equipment sizing charts (VAV, diffusers, AHU's) and heat load calculation go-bys

If it's not in there, don't use it.

RE: What is in your toolbox
Aren't we in the paperless age yet?
I find that even a figurative binder is too small for anything I would put into it; my job tends to meander across a bunch of different disciplines, so every time that happens, I wind up collecting a bunch of articles and books. They used to be paper, but that got too silly, so, now, I only collect digital stuff. My portable HDD (electronic binder) is pushing past 3 million files. and even the 2TB drive is getting a bit cramped. Of course, being a pack rat isn't helping, but at least, everything fits inside a nice 2.5-inch format HDD, regardless of how many documents I have. I'd get a solid-state drive, but they're not cheap enough for the capacities I need.
But, the portable drive isn't really the tool, per se; Google Scholar is the prybar for finding articles on the stuff I'm generally looking for, as is CiteSeer. FreePatentsOnline is useful for getting PDFs of patents.
