Obviously there will be differing opinions on what brands to get, but this list below shows you can get everything you need for under $1500. Some of the tools are new, some used. Lineman gear is meant to take a beating so buying used is the way to go imo.

?? Climber shields
Dont need unless they wont let you climb without
?? Gaff shatpening kit
Dont need. I have one, never used in 5 years and gaffs are still sharp. Just dont walk around on gravel in your hooks and your climbers will stay sharp. Plus everyone else will have a kit if you really need it.
350 supersqueeze. Like someone else said, call buckinham and see what kind of deal you can get as an apprentice.

200-350 composite toe climbing boots. I reccomend composite toe because they offer the safety of steel toe but your toes dont freeze off in the winter.Example http://amp.jharlen.com/p-11181-carolina-ca1904-lineman-boots.aspx
$1425 total. Can be more or less depending on what you choose or what deals you find.
They also asked what type of materials linemen use.
It may be worth buying The Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook for anyone else interested. I've seen it recommended, and it may even be a required book in the schooling itself. That would definitely give you good answers.

Combined with a hammer clip do you think that'll do the job?
The tools u/YashinNashi mentioned is the plan to fit in there.
Are those child size soccer shin guards as climber pads??
why yes they are:

This is what I use and it works way better than dykes. They also easily cut nails and such.

You might want to try /r/flashlight. There are also rubber hard hat straps that should fit most headlamps.

Hey, I really hope this gets upvoted, but what you are complaining about is the beginning of carpal tunnel from the vibration. My suggestion (and I’ve had to do this before) is buy these https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Medium/dp/B002NLGNW8/ref=lp_13106341_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1550548653&sr=1-4&th=1 or similar ones for each wrist and sleep wearing them every night.
The reason why you have the pain is from sleeping and having your wrists bent so the tendons can’t relax. Trust me on this you will feel better. (Like I said I had the same issue from vibration and the surgeon I went to suggested this)
I will also add that while this will help and ultimately keep you from doing permanent damage this is only a temporary (3ish months) solution. If you keep doing the repetitive action causing this you will do permanent damage and workers comp will not pay for repetitive motion injuries. So start using the wrist braces now.
