Hi Josh's Industrial Maintenance, Great video you have produced here, I really enjoyed it, great content. I particularly enjoyed the whole video describing your whole tool kit
Man I wish I could get by with a smaller set of tools. My cart is so heavy. I work in a turkey plant so with all the water we have alot of rebuilds and have to keep all the tools that are required in our box with us at all times during production. Cool video and awesome job on details on what you think of the tools.
plastics as in for seats or for cups or like dash's in cars and such? i usually do robotic welding. right now though its seats for Ford/GM. my 2nd box i think should be out in 2-3 weeks
@@IndustrialMaintenance I agree all the new stuff coming in automation wise is metric. But I always joke you could talks most of the place apart with 1-1/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 and a good set of hex keys lol
Im currently in Operations at a chemical plant that is closing down next year. So I've started the job search for a maintenance position. Was working twords one here but obviously I didnt get in before we got the news. What was your schooling like? Theres a community college that has a certification or an A.A.S. in Industrial Maintenance Im thinking about going too. I'd love to find an entry level job in maintenance but it's been kind of difficult to find. They all seem to already want expirence...for an ENTRY level position that seems kinda backwards...oh well. Nice set up by the way. Love me some HF and I'm not afraid to admit it!
They all want 10years xp for low pay haha. I almost have my AAS for industrial from school. I think school is great with some experience just to give you a way to connect the dots to experience and helps u learn faster. School is great again because of electrical training and understanding. Id actually get on LinkedIn in your case and find a few recruiters. They can help a ton and might be able to get ur foot in the door somewhere. School is 100% worth it but doesn't replace experience
@@IndustrialMaintenance Any tips for somone with little to no professional expirence who wants to get into the industry? I have personal expirence with a lot of the stuff employers for this trade would want like welding, mechanics, and what not but can't put that on a resume since it was never my actual job. Just stuff I do at home
Get with a recruiter, they probably the best chance you have minus a personal recommendation. They might be able to find someone looking for a new tech
@@MaverickFlyBoy622 I have a section entitled 'unpaid work experience' on my resume for jobs like the ones you mention...things you have done here and there/ around the house and are relevant. Just because you were not paid for the experience doesnt mean you cant put it on your resume.
Where I live at they have a industrial systems program at my community college. I’m currently in the program and I work for a food company in maintenance. Which do you think is more valuable Experience or that Paper? My teachers told me that everything I will learn will be where I’m working that they only can teach me the bare minimum.
Work experience wins most. Things to consider though is the bare minimum school teaches on everything. When shit happens it gives u more options from learning. Electrical is a perfect example. Work experience can trump school but learning a bit of everything and codes and theory will help u excel faster and usually open ur mind to different solutions. More critical thinking you have is for the best. Im actually gonna do a video on this with some buddies so check on my channel in a month or so
I feel like some work xp then school has taught more more than school first. I learn by tinkering so if I can relate it to something I already do i remember and learn better. Hopefully that answers ur question
Josh's Industrial Maintenance thanks I understand perfectly I also appreciate your insight. I’m relatively new to this field I’m 23 and only started working 3 months ago so I have no prior experience but your channel is helping!
@@eddygoodwin7089 I second that. I had boundhus and Klein Allen. The wera are far superior. The only thing I dislike about the SAE set is that it skips sizes. The boundhus has a more complete set but are a little tight sometimes because of the paint on them. And they flake off after a while. Made in USA tho
I just got my first job a a tech. I have about 5 tools. How much you think I’ll be spending on tolls. I’m actually an automation (my degree is) tech but I got hired as maintenance tech
Depends what kinda place it is. As a weld tech I spent about 2k on tools. The place I'm at now uses a lot of different tools. I just suggest not going cheap on Allen's and pliers. Like I rarely used standard tools in welding, I still have the Walmart brand wrenchs. I have 200$ metric set cause I used it a lot haha. Harbor freight ur friend on most tools honestly until u have to use a tool daily then go buy a good higher end brand
@@joew4202 maybe, honestly my harbor freight one did 95% of the jobs I needed it to. Projects is where I needed more honesty and trades. Like I know a lot electrical and welding plus maintenance. So I had all my welding equipment and electrical n so on
@@IndustrialMaintenance dam bro tools are expensive. I’ve spent $100 in 2 days on a couple wrenches, and caliper, level, feeler gauge, and a lock. Do you use any specific locks for LOTO. I want one wheee the key stays in it when unlocked. I haven’t tried mine yet
Nice to see a video in which the tools have actually been used.
Yea I never liked the "lemme just open this new box". "Oh man this item I never used is amazing quality" hH
Same box great everyday roller not too painful if they hit it with forklift thanks for showing your tools gave me some ideas
Anytime. I've made some mods to it that I'll try and show later
Nice, we all have the wera hex keys and knipex pliers, nothing else comes close.
Agreed
That extension cord trick is awesome!
Thanks!
We need a new set up from the new job. Love your videos bro. We do the same job actually
Ty! I do miss the robots thought, changes over to amazon for now
Great channel, brother. It's good to see fellow industrial maintenance techs out there. I've been doing it for almost 10 years now.
Thanks! Been a crazy few months with OT now a new company so videos will start coming again... launching new sites is always a drag haha
@@IndustrialMaintenance have an opening? Got laid off from my last job... shameless, I know lol.
@@michaelbarbara4806 kck area hiring all over haha
Nice video, thanks for explaining why you use some of your tools over others. Oh and nice family pics.
Your welcome!
Hi Josh's Industrial Maintenance, Great video you have produced here, I really enjoyed it, great content. I particularly enjoyed the whole video describing your whole tool kit
Thanks! My big box tour is in the works after the holidays
@@IndustrialMaintenance hope your channel goes from strenght to strenght .
Awesome video! You got a nice assortment of tools 👍👍
Ty! Working on audio quality now!
Absolutely hilarious love the maintenance man
Yep, been following him for a bit now!

Yea, I got a 2nd box for the rest but my main bread and butter in the HF one. Allows me to stay light but have the big boy stuff if I need it
Gerber makes a good multi tool if your looking for a good one
I'll probably end up getting the crunch or center drive one day. I actually did a review on the Klein one that becomes public next week
Did you ever release the big box tour? Also thanks for video, i always like to see what tools people swear by!
Not yet, school/new job/ life haha. I'm actually gonna try and record it tomorrow
I work in the plastic moulding industry,what machines do run?
plastics as in for seats or for cups or like dash's in cars and such? i usually do robotic welding. right now though its seats for Ford/GM. my 2nd box i think should be out in 2-3 weeks
Nice box, also industrial mechanic. However I rarely use metic. Lol
I feel like most new factories use metric. I still gotta do a review on my 2nd bigger box
@@IndustrialMaintenance I agree all the new stuff coming in automation wise is metric. But I always joke you could talks most of the place apart with 1-1/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 and a good set of hex keys lol
@@magicrox99 true or ve like 1/2 the techs and use channel locks
Hey man, can you do tips/advice vid for new technicians?
Sure!

@@josiahlocklear2244 all good! That was me 5 years ago haha, I was just a welder that was given the chance to be maintenance.
What brand are the multi colored Allen wrenches?
Wera. Best I've had! I've tried husky/tekton/wiha/harbor freight/ boundhus and a few cheap ones
@@IndustrialMaintenance awesome thanks those are one tool i tend to ruin a lot im gonna check them out

Checkout veto pro pac high quality
