A particularly interesting term in that its two different meanings are indicative of opposite ends of the quality continuum.
1. When used to refer to tools of the trade that might be used by contractors, this term is used to indicate tools that are very rugged and of the highest quality.
2. When used to refer to the equipment & materials that a contractor, when left to his own devices, will install in a house or building, this term means the least expensive materials the contractor could get his hands on to get the job done.

Get the Contractor Grade mug.While most people would think that a contractor's kit might consist of a hammer, nails, and maybe a saw to start with, the truth is that these things are of secondary value to most general contractors. The real Contractor's Kit, which can be found in the back of any work van or truck on any jobsite across the country, consists of the three general contracting essentials: a 30 pack of beer, a fifteen ft. length of rope, and a Smith and Wesson with one bullet as a backup. Usually used to describe your displeasure with a certain scenario or certain circumstances.
ex. 1. "Hey Joey you wanna go to that party over that broad's house tonight?"
"Ya sure, but if she talks to me im gonna go out back and string up the Contractor's Kit."
ex. 2. "Hey Matty what you doin this weekend?"
"I dunno not much probly just gonna string up the Kit off the side of the Tobin Bridge after work you wanna come?
