I suggest a worklight new milwaukee slim one is nice but you can get away with a carabiner flood style from husky olight it's all good. I clip that on the handles so it's always ready.
Try the shears from crescent, they don’t have the cutout like the Knipex version but they feel sharper and have a better hand/grip design than the knipex’s tiny finger holes
I run a crescent ratchet adjustable with the flip jaw with pass-thru sockets in mine and a really small multimeter by Aneng A3008 and because it works like a non contact voltage tester, I stopped carrying that...
Uggghh i want one of those pro packs. I'm only a year and a half in electrician apprentice. Too expensive for my blood. That's all good, I am getting at least one or two high-quality tools every so often, build it up slowly. My next is gonna be the VDE. knipex pliers wrench 10.5 😍
lol, I know man - the "DIY enthusiast" bag and it's too expensive for someone in the trades. I've been in the trade for so long it's not even funny anymore, I've got a few veto bags: and yes theyre expensive but they last forever (for the most part). You're doing it the right way though dude. Keep at it and buy yourself the quality gear when you can. Back when I was a first year apprentice just outta school I had basically nothing and the journeyman I worked with told me to buy a new tool you need with every check (of course more expensive tools may be once a month). He was a tool, but he had some good advice sometimes and that was one of them.
Keep an eye out every March 1 - May 31 the past few years, Veto runs promotions. I got my bag shown in this video and the TP6B- 6 Pocket Tool Pouch last year. Either can be good DIY bags or full job bags. If you can find someone that's interested in one or the other it's a good way to get 2 bags and drop the cost down since it's buy one get one free.
Love your reviews and enthusiasm mate. My recommendation is for you to add a pair of the Engineer PZ-57 screw extraction pliers. Much better at handling tiny little screws that the Knipex Twin Grips can't. Also, I definitely get your love for knipex, but if you haven't checked out how good the quality is of some of the Japanese tool makers, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise
They must send stuff to him because my Lowes either has zero Toughbuilt stuff or they have two SKUs with 2 or 3 in stock. Its usually great stuff but Lowes just wont stock it….or toughbuilt can't produce enough…
I agree that Wera does make some amazing stuff, but as far as allen keys go, I have the wiha magic ball end ones and haven't looked back. they're dandy
Sucks that toughbuilt went out of business or whatever stage there in right now,the tip of toughbuilt tape measure broke so I wanted to go get another one which turns out there’s none anymore smh
Hey bro, our boss is a huge fan of yours-he’s absolutely obsessed! He’s really eager to get our new product, the Etenwolf tire inflator, in your hands for a test run. We’d love to hear your feedback. Please, give us a chance!
Good for handymen but not a great video for DIY. DIY doesn't need professional tools. That Veto bag alone overkill for a DIYer. The whole point of DIY is that its done with price consciousness in mind. And DIYers usually work from home so no need for an expensive toolbag. Everything here is basically intended for pros. I work with ryobi and husky for at home DIY projects. It gets the job done because DIY usually doesn't require the durability and longevity of professional tools.
@@ezekielgarcia4917 there's always that one dude that wants to feel superior. It has nothing to do with being broke. A DIY'er is typically someone who tackles on a project on a weekend and probably won't use those tools for another month or so. They're not professionals who'll be abusing their tools all day every single day. So they don't need to buy $50-$60 dollar knipex tools or get a $200 plus tool bag. A $10-$15 husky tool will get the job done and will probably last him for years to come.
I hear what you’re saying but there’s a lot of DIY guys would like the nicer high end tools. I get comments about it all the time and it’s what I know best and what I use. Most people don’t need high end stuff but they enjoy using it
Don't use ball end hex keys to break loose tight fasteners. Ball ends are good for fasteners that aren't rock tight, or for running down fasteners quickly. Ball ends break off under high stress. Even the best ones. Electrical connections should never be able to be that tight...but tooling and other mechanical fastening can be a problem. Once you break the ball....your day gets bad really fast. I gave up on the fast run down in favour of non-ball end hex keys. I do tooling/machinery...not electrical. Electrical connections should be ok as they (likely) can't lock up so tight.
There’s a plumber on TH-cam/tiktok who I think is sponsored by Knipex, anyways the dude uses insulated screw drivers as chisels… it really bothers me..
How heavy is your bag? I recently bought a Yato YT-08874 to spread my tools from my other bigger toolbox. Before it weighed around 40+ kg, now one is around 25+ and the yato is around 20 kg (it has weight too even empty). I use the tools for hobby, diy and I don't move the boxes alot except between my properties (I do most of the maintenance for those properties, some are rented, in some I live). Most of my tools are an overkill for what I do (Knipex, Wera, Milwaukee, Wiha) and the electrical ones are Makita LXT, Dewalt 12V, Bosch (12V) and I made the beginners mistake to buy amateur tools at the start and I spent on those a lot (Einhell, Parkside, Dexter) . Now most of them are replaced and kept as reserves only the ones that I rare use I won't change. I was thinking of buying a Veto bag (the big ones) or the Velocity Raptors but they won't fit all my tools.
Most of them I’ve used pretty extensively but there are some newer tools as well. I clean all my stuff as needed so the stuff that’s been worn still has the color there but some of it is my less used stuff since what I do on the daily doesn’t require it very often. It’s also not my main bag so a lot of it are extra tools I have from buying kits or stuff that I tested a while back or I use a different version of it daily
There’s nothing DIY about this setup. Don’t get me wrong, great setup, great tools. But really this is a professional general purpose setup. DIY usually consists of, “Hey, I’m going to try to tackle this project myself to save money. Let’s get the bare minimum of tools to get it done.” Not, “Hey, let me drop $1,200 real quick on top of the line professional grade tools for general purpose.” You could probably achieve this exact same setup with more generic tools, avoiding the name Knipex and Veto, for 1/4 of the cost.
Always enjoy your videos. Very informative.
Thank you so much!
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

Love the twin Grip my first Knipex tool
Try the shears from crescent, they don’t have the cutout like the Knipex version but they feel sharper and have a better hand/grip design than the knipex’s tiny finger holes
I'd recommend adding a ratchet and some extensions and wobble socket or two to go with the flip sockets
Great video for DIY enthusiasts. Thanks to these tips.
Thank you!!
Coworker has that bag... I got the Milwaukee structured bag.... damn that bags smaller in person 😅

Cool. A vessel electric screwdriver could be a nice addition for smaller screws. I've been using mine (280rpm/2Nm) a lot...it is so cool.

Needs a metal saw option. Best bet is one of the handles that can accept sawzall blades if you are keeping the volume down.
Why do we have to have 25f tape measure?
I gotta ask man how do you find all the toughbuilt hand tools and items? Everywhere I look, no one stocks them.
They must send stuff to him because my Lowes either has zero Toughbuilt stuff or they have two SKUs with 2 or 3 in stock.
Its usually great stuff but Lowes just wont stock it….or toughbuilt can't produce enough…
@@briansavage932 for real
You can buy things on the internet now.
DIY content!! Let’s goooo
Try the spyder mach blue drill bits the best I have tried so far. I do electrical job both home and business.
I agree that Wera does make some amazing stuff, but as far as allen keys go, I have the wiha magic ball end ones and haven't looked back. they're dandy
Well... you dont have ME in that pack so you're missing that
ME?
@@austine2680 me (the person) it's a bad joke 😃
Just got this bag a week ago and it is definitely worth every penny.
It’s a great bag. Glad you’re enjoying it
It's funny. I actually have that bag. But I consider the pocket side to be the front
What brand for the first lamp?
olight
Sucks that toughbuilt went out of business or whatever stage there in right now,the tip of toughbuilt tape measure broke so I wanted to go get another one which turns out there’s none anymore smh
I wondered what was up with Lowes and now that you mentioned it, I looked it up. Woah lol
First time luxrul kuch different colors ka LV bag dekha..very elegant....good choice

you have to buy clamp meter, cable cutter,
Clamp meter is great but for this bag I opted not to put one in. I always have one with me in one of my bags. A cable cutter would be great

DIY people can just replace those components with cheaper versions. Agreed on the bag, most DIY will just have a toolbox of some sort 🧰
Just say youre broke bro

Missing a multimeter mate.
Bruh do you even use those tools? I work in industrial and my new tools get dirty in a day.
Fun fact, wipes exist.
@jeffreyesguitar5129 fun fact I use a food service wipe towel to clean all of my tools. Doesn't get all of the dirt stains. About 90% of it.
I work industrial too, but i clean my tools daily, wipes❤
@@Thompson-from-Finlandwork with plastic and sticky resin, oil and clean my tools weekly
Maybe he cleans them. Not everyone wallows around in dirt all damn day with there tools.
There’s a plumber on TH-cam/tiktok who I think is sponsored by Knipex, anyways the dude uses insulated screw drivers as chisels… it really bothers me..
Gotta work on yourself then
Don't use them for that if you don't want to. Hope that helps.
