As a spark myself When you look at the technical references books and Regs we work to I find it unbelievably frustrating when you have other trades and some customers dismiss or playdown what we do when they don't actually realise the amount of knowledge a tester had to know.
with the exception of the wander lead, those tools look nice and clean 🙄 Thanks for sharin mate 🙂 A Fuse Finder absolutely essential for me sometimes. Turn up to a restaurant and no ones got a clue which badly labelled breaker does the circuit you're supposed to be working on
FLIR CM275 clamp meter with thermal imager built in; pricey but incredibly handy. Actually bought mine originally for working on overhead cranes because it's light and easy to carry (there isn't much room on crane gantries) and it's my go-to for quite a lot of stuff now.
@@residualelectrical I've had a couple of cases recently where cranes have had an intermittent phase loss on a contactor and TI highlights it more easily than trying to probe onto a contactor output and run the crane; it's useful for finding mechanical issues that stop a motor also. If I'm doing an install, I can do a load check and a quick thermal scan of a DB to spot any unknown / unseen problems before starting the job.
Hi Mike, A very informative video on the testing kit and literature you take with you. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that you are a natural behind the camera! Take care, stay safe. 🙏🏼
The packout box works quite well for your testing setup. Not much different to my setup really. I do carry a voltage tester and proving unit plus a small level in my domestic / light commercial. For my industrial set up I add spanners / sockets and a lot more socket adapters and then an earth tester in a separate bag with all its leads and spikes and clamp.
Would you recommend any theory books for learning about fault finding? I work mainly industrial construction for my apprenticeship and don't get a chance to learn about maintenance/fault finding.
In before all the comments about those tools look clean/unused... every tester there is minimum hundreds of dollars, I've got a near 10yo fluke clamp meter and its in pristine condition cos I'm not an idiot... I like the loadout in the packout box, I used to keep all my testers in the exact same box - upgraded to the drawers though recently 👌 I also write 'today' on all my lockout tags 😂😂
Ciuld you do a video on contractors and replays like a basics kind of crash on the how to connect them, how there worth using and there operation, only if you get time like as I'm sure your flat out 😄
Hi Mike, are you still keeping your test gear in packout? I'm racking the van at the moment and currently have my test gear in a Veto MB3 - when on site do you find the packout restrictive not having a bag to carry around with accessories etc.I've a KT65DL so the setup would look similar to yours. Hope you're well.
Great video. Plus one on the thermal camera, particularly if you do any fault finding on electronic equipment as well - the bit that is too hot is usually the bit that is broken, and the camera is better and safer than the fingertip spit and sizzle test... Same with the paper documentation - Google is great, until there is no mobile signal or WiFi. As to lock out padlocks - there is always some idiot/psychopath who thinks his work is worth more than your life, and will go looking for his hacksaw. Unless the guy really was trying to kill me, of course. Regards, keep up the good work, JP.

I find it handy to have one not only for bonding but to go round all the metal faceplates if any and touch off them to see if the earth is continuous
Testing is the boss and so important for the client's safety

Good video. LOTTO = Lock Out, Tagout, Try out. More common on machinery when you want to see if it moves etc.
Can you explain the full packout combo you have purchased?

I’d definitely have a rethreader in there, see so many knackered threads
One of the most important tools in my bag

Would the fluke tester fit in this case?

@@residualelectrical Thanks for the reply. A video would be great when you get the time. Cheers for all the content mate
Is Guidance Note 3 (or other parts of the series) specific for UK electrical installations?
Hello in the background a Milwaukee digital torque worth a buy ?

Damn you’re very angry about this for some reason lol.
are there any good reference books and reg books for aussies? i struggle to find any
all in a posh box you absolute dork.
good video, cheers
Just discovering this now 🤩

Which pack out box is this?
Would you say is better dewalt or milwaukee 18volt range wise
My light meter for when I do Emergency Lighting Inspections. Love your channel and have now liked your Instagram

@@residualelectrical Cheers, matey. Think it will be easier in some packout.
Not a spark but interested to know if it's a requirement to get all your testing equipment regularly checked and calibrated (with certificate)?
@@residualelectrical 🙏
Salutare MAESTRE...Un link pentru multimetrul KEWTECH se poate??? Mulțumesc anticipat și spor in continuare...Toate cele bune👍👍👍

Wouldn't a meter box key be helpful 😂
