That's awesome! If you want my advice, get a couple of years of experience and work on getting your CPO (pool) certification and EPA (refridgerant). With those two certs you can do maintenance pretty much anywhere, and some companies will pay for the classes entirely. Try to eventually find a place that isn't poorly built and falling apart- this line of work can either be the best job in the world or the worst depending on location. Best of luck, and thanks for the comment!
I used to use that big HF flathead as a beater but the plastic handle cracked fairly easily. I ended up with the Milwaukee demo tool that has the groove for hvac and it’s a beast. Nice setup and liked the video. I subbed to help you out.
Thanks for the comment and sub! Just looked up that tool and that looks like the king of beater flathead screwdrivers! My wallet fears the day I see that thing in home depot
I have that same tool bag . Carry my Klein knipex and my Milwaukee tools in it. And just like you on the opposite side I keep my M18 surge and charger the smaller pack Diablo paddle bits and square. Also on other side with straps I carry a 16 in Swanson savage level in addition to my Milwaukee torpedo level. My set up is almost the same as yours. We could trade bags for a day and I'd probably never know the difference. I also have the Milwaukee packout tech bag. They both weigh a ton. I use that bag every day. Although I didn't see any lights in your bag . I recommend the Milwaukee rover light the small one with the carabineer also Klein light with the carabineer. I have both and there great.
This guy knows whats up! That klien light does look perfect. I used to keep a headlamp with me and kept wrapped it around the handle of the tote, but recently took it off and havent needed it since. Reason being, I keep a mini amazon cobb light that has a magnet and a stand in my headphone case on the belt loop setup. I also EDC a flashlight on top of that and of course have my phone light. Since the skil 4v has built in LEDs, sometimes I don't even need a light to work in dark areas. Thank you for the comment, if I do end up needing something more substantial I'll definitely look into that klien light!
@@sasquatchrosefarts I've been playing around with that self amalgamating silicone tape stuff and really like it for electrical connections- especially stuff thats near water (like appliances)/outside. I'll probably end up throwing that roll on the tape lanyard thing on the side of the bag. Who knows it might save my butt to make a quick water leak repair with it too while I get the tools and parts to fix it properly
it looks like there's strings on the things that hold your bits on the keychain setup. what is that part called and is it on amazon? I've seen the keychain bit holders, but not in that style with the string
Initially had regular key rings that came with the bit holders, but I wanted to keep the weight and jangling to a minimum. I ended up replacing them with replacement zipper pull strings. If you look up zipper pull replacement you can find them on amazon in a 5 pack for $12. Look for the ones with the hole in the rubber tab- that way you can attach as many bit holders as you like to a single big key ring. Keeps it a little less noisy
@@wookiescookies oh cool. thanks for the reply and congrats on making the jump over 500 subs since that was the gaol at the point of filming this vid. you should look into setting up an amazon affiliates account and posting links on your old videos. I've heard it adds up pretty well over time. I'm watching one of your newer videos right now and adding some stuff to my wish list
Good afternoon, and of course! I do general apartment maintenance, but I'm exploring other trades as my career progresses and always looking for opportunities. I'm sure that explains the variety of tools I carry- For my property I'm the plumber, electrician, HVAC guy, appliance installer, painter... and the list goes on. Which I think makes all of these tools pretty useful for home owners. Apartment maintenance has a lot of drawbacks, so I'm looking into HVAC or something more niche and higher paying like power plant maintenance. Thank you for the comment!
If I'd done the same video a month ago, you wouldn't be saying that haha! A lot of these are new tools I've bought to reduce the weight of the bag, or just upgrades from cheaper/old tools. Here's a list of the new/newish tools: -Milwaukee M18 compact 1/4" Impact -Knipex Swedish Channel Locks -Wiha 1/4" Stubby -Malco Tin snips -Purdy painters tool Everything else I take good care of by routinely checking for rust and oiling if needed.
@@OShackHennessy no, I'm the guy pointing out this guy just bought a bunch of new tools and is telling people how good they are when he himself doesn't know.
It largely depends on what I'm doing. It's easy to clip the whole thing onto my toolbag, nearby cabinet handles, water lines, or closet shelves if I don't want it on my belt. I like that because I can almost always clip it somewhere in arms reach while I'm working, and then I have a mobile tool setup that isn't on my belt at all if I'm on my back or working in a tight space. I personally don't like tool pouches because they're bulky and if I need to run during an emergency all my tools fall out
Good question and thank you for the comment. The purdy painters tool has a metal striker on the bottom and that covers most of my needs day to day- it's taken a lot more abuse since I filmed this and is still holding up well. I have some additional tools in my tool box on my golf cart that come in handy and those include a 16 ounce hammer, a dead blow for vinyl, little sledge hammer (the pursuader), clamps, bolt cutters, pry bar, vice grips, various channel locks, and the list goes on hahaha. Typically I only need to grab one of those tools once a month or so, and storing them on my golf cart keeps the bag light.
It's a good bag that hasn't sustained any damage over my two years of ownership. Zippers still work like new and the handle is sturdy and comfortable. Tons of good sized pouches (many of which I don't use) so you can load it up with a ton of tools if that's what you're after. I really only have one complaint- I don't use the side straps so they can sometimes get in the way when trying to lock the organizer to the bottom of the bag, but if you intend to use them for a level or something that wouldn't be an issue. In fact I may just cut them off entirely. I do have my eyes on that new 15" structured tote bag, and if I end up buying that I'll make a comparisson video. I wouldn't recommend the packout backpack to anyone because it's pretty unstable and can be frustrating to deal with on a regular basis, so I've converted mine into an emergency "go bag" with extra tools and towels that might come in handy in emergencies like a water or gas leak.
Awesome overview. I've got my tote so overloaded that this offers refreshing ideas for lightening things up. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I think i found my calling im currently working in a manufacturing plant but ive always loved general maintenance

Love your vids man I do industrial maintenance and you give great tips that help me evolve my edc
Thank you! Comments like these always make my day
@@wookiescookieselectrical tape. But mostly pretty good kit.

do you use only those tools? sounds funny, i didnt see a lot of basics tools
Great video man 👍

Good afternoon from the Great State of Texas. May I ask, what type of maintenance
do you do?

nice setup! you have some weird hinges though...
You don’t have to worry about hitting 500 subscribers. TH-cam is putting enough ads on your video already!
Good stuff !
Got to be honest every single tool that you say you were using all the time looks brand-new and didn't have a single scratch on it

Why is it you can not see the number of dislikes?? Talk about privalge… Sad working man video ,😂
My TH-cam studio app says 95.7% likes vs dislikes on this one, which tells me most people liked it 😁
Pretty sure this “Dude” has never washed a car in “his” life.. tell me about a dryer bro, I worked for Lowes delivery for 5 years… your a joke..
Thanks for the laugh
