Looks like you have some lower priced tools where they'll suffice and some good quality tools where needed. That's the way everyone should shop for tools, instead of being blind to new and different stuff and sticking with a single brand. Great video, thanks!
If the guys scavenge tools when the guys leave, I would suggest getting a storage locker for that bag. Always keep your tools safe, they pay the bills.
I used to see all the maintenance guys in the plants carry around the SK (saltus) or flex head socket wrenches. Of course that was before the new style ratcheting wrenches came out. Looks like you're set up fairly well for battle, nice bag-o-tools.
Good set of tools man. Lot of weight to lug around though. I do this kind of work too. We climb. Silos. Cat walks. Lots of ladders so we tend to haul our stuff up in bucket caddies specific to whatever job we're doing. On the ground we carry backpacks
I'm doing this too, got about the same stuff.. started a new job where they all share one tool box. I said nope..... I can't do that lol. Went to harbor freight and dumped $100 on a set and a bag. It's a company that fills and packages cans of automotive refrigerant, and some larger tanks. Industrial maintenance type stuff. I feel your pain lol
Been there. Dudes tend to "forget" tools in their pockets and take them home only to "forget" to bring them back everyday. I have my own tool box I keep in my truck and love how easy work is. I don't care if the other guys think I'm being an asshole.
I'd trust a Klein meter any day...#1 name in electrical work for the last 100 years. Yeah... Fluke is the best but nowadays everyone is on a budget. I'm thinking about getting a Klein meter myself😁
Get yourself a $5 Home Depot Bucket and, their $8 Bucket Caddy. I did and, I love it. You can fit a lot of tools in it too. It may be easier than digging through a bag. Just a thought.
Hello sir fine post and good luck with the new job. I have the xbeam wrenches I like them alot, I bought a small set 5pc from Napa for 15. Bucks that's 3.dollars a wrench
Great video, add this one to your list. Have you ever seen the A-SURE OUT extractor? It can be removed in seconds if it breaks, no Welding EDM or DRILLING. After seeing it, only a fool would use anything else! All materials and labor made in the USA! For over 100 years the bolt extractor has changed in many ways, however the failure of a bolt extractor seems to have been carelessly overlooked leaving all users the possibility of catastrophic failure. Help support an American company. Thank you.
Great question man, I've been thinking about that lately myself. After using those Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches a couple weeks now I'm going to do a review and share my thoughts on them. Stay tuned!
The only tools that were replaced since I purchased and put them to work are the Milwaukee diagonal cutters (poor performance) and the Klein DMM (it stopped working). I replaced the M cutters with a pair by Knipex cutters (I highly recommend) and the Klein DMM with a Fluke. Other than that, I still have and use all the tools you see in the video and would recommend all of them.
i started and still use alot of hf tools.since then i have much better quality power tools.hand tools really arent as important imo as far as buying milwakee kobalt or dewalt power tools
Love the channel lock retaining ring pliers, works well BOTH ways.

Nice setup. It looks like all them tools should serve you well.

every company specializes in their own thing that's what you gotta look for
I didn't see a screw driver that takes the 1/4 bits that might come in real handy. Thanks for the tour good luck at the new job.
I have an 11-1 screwdriver and an 8 inch adjustable wrench (and a 1/4 in. bit screwdriver) at the workplace rightnow. Pretty sparse right?
Get a Kline 12 in 1 keep that in ur pocket with a tweaker flat head and a knife and flash light that should get u started trouble shooting most calls

Looks like good choices to me. I need a new brass hammer. Might check out the Freight.
Nice set there brother
I highly recommend the knipex pliers wrench?? I don’t even carry my crescent wrench 🔧 anymore!!
I also love them. Can’t recommend them enough!
Klein makes a damn good meter at a damn good price. I’m not one of those fan boys either but gotta give credit where it’s due
Wow! Great selection of tools I might add!
Great tools
Me personally I prefer channel lock tongue and groove pliers. They’ve never let me down. Just my preference
Hello sir fine post and good luck with the new job. I have the xbeam wrenches I like them alot, I bought a small set 5pc from Napa for 15. Bucks that's 3.dollars a wrench
thats a lot of tools to lug around i have husky usa tools they never let me down
We have a cart to haul our tool bag on so it’s not too bad.
My husky lunch box has NEVER let me down-EVERYONE wants one:)

Gedora adjustable wrenches. Check em out. The 62 P 12
Good Sunday morning from the Great State of Texas. What type of work are you doing? Also, why two different hammers?
Maintenance mechanic. The brass hammer is a softer material, used on steel shafts so it won’t damage or deform it.
Great vídeo thanks.knipex cobra and knipex wrench is wanderfull very biutiful and strong tools 😎😎😎.
1st tool set ive seen that didn't have some sort of pliers wrench lol
I'm curious, if you're comfortable saying, what did the cost come to roughly for all that?
Husky Allen wrenches and t handles are junk.
Bondhus is the best.
I'm looking for a good set of ratcheting wrenches which ones do you recommend?
Great question man, I've been thinking about that lately myself. After using those Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches a couple weeks now I'm going to do a review and share my thoughts on them. Stay tuned!
Tim's Tool Reviews thanks for quick response!
No way are they all fitting in that bag
It was a challenge but everything on that table did go in that bag. I have since split everything into two bags.
Knipex 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How did the tools hold up
The only tools that were replaced since I purchased and put them to work are the Milwaukee diagonal cutters (poor performance) and the Klein DMM (it stopped working). I replaced the M cutters with a pair by Knipex cutters (I highly recommend) and the Klein DMM with a Fluke. Other than that, I still have and use all the tools you see in the video and would recommend all of them.
