What bag are you rocking right now?
TP4 and tech pac
I have two Veto’s I use lots , an OTMC , and a TPXXL ( always overloaded) . I also have a Veto OTLC ( bid assed opentopped tote , typically carrying saws , and larger drills , plus things like hole saws etc .
My next one will be either a TP6 , or a TPLC ( I confess , I’m Fo sure a Bag Whore ) , an outside possibility is a Tech Pack MC Blackout .
I've been using the tough-built 16in tote for a while, large enough for everything, has held up and is priced really well.
@@GuardianMT No disrespect to Tuff Built , their stuff is solid ! Veto is somewhat better designed , and in theory might last longer , both are great choices ! Veto stuff just fits my needs and workflow better !
As a 3rd year I find the insulation screwdrivers are more comfortable and lighter. I have the Klein ones and they are great.
Would also recommend an adjustable wrench. Don’t use them much but definitely glad to have them.
Don’t go cheap. Not worth it at all.
Stay well stay safe! 🇺🇸
People crack me up with their 25 foot tape measure 😂 a stick of pipe and strut are 10 feet. 16 foot tape measures are king 👑
That’s how I roll
Ayo jus bought my Veto Tech Pac MC before the promotion ended so hopefully I get this TP6B and with time convert it into a hot work pouch. Yr vids convinced me tbh. Thanks👍🏽
1st tool, tape measure
2nd tools, pens and pencils
3rd, a level.
Not a busy man this
A solid video man!! I'm a 3rd year apprentice and I do commercial service so I have the TP XXL because I never know what I'm getting into on the day to day that I have to have so many different tools, but that is a awesome loadout you have!!
Thank you! I’m a commercial and industrial service tech. This is just a setup I made for apprentices. My full bag is this: th-cam.com/video/7lEDEiKKra0/w-d-xo.html
You never know what you’re going to run into in service work!
Do you like the to XXL?
In the union there’s a tool
List that we must have power tools are provided
Nice vids
Hey bro! I am tempted by the zyklop pocket set. One thing I read about it though is the sockets very easily slip out. What is your experience with this?
Very good option ! Any Smart Newbie , would do well to take note ! Another set up that might work , the Veto OT MC , and a Veto TP1 ( the TP could ride in the OTMC !
That’s a great choice! I love the TP series bags that attract to a larger carry option!
@@americanelectrician For the record ; not my idea ; got it from another Dude on U Tube ! Good ideas need to be shared !
Completely agree!
@@americanelectrician His handle is Blue Electric . I’m playing with OTMC loadouts ! I also make waterproof nylon “ rainhats “ for anything open topped bags, here in Canada , snow / freezing drizzle/ rain , can be a total PITA
@@americanelectrician The Dude’s Handle is Blue Electric .
Nice load out,love Wera and Knipex.Individual screwdrivers is the way to go in my opinion also.I have to say tho,the Knipex strippers dissapointed me.I don't like them at all and the reason is I find the straight handle uncomfortable and not ergonomic.
I remember my first pair of knipex cobra's, never bought anything else since lol
There’s nothing like them!
Where you from cuz? I got a crazy load out man you definitely gotta see
The knipex wire strippers are the best for cutting mc, too. Every other pair of strippers will not do the trick and will get messed up.
Klein came out with a cool socket set
I know I’ve seen it but I haven’t tried it yet
Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I enjoyed watching your video. Are there cheaper options for tools. The tools you have are all expensive compared to other brands. A new person out of high school may not have the money to buy the expensive tools that you have. Also, where do you keep your sockets? I like your setup, I am just concerned about the cost for a newbie. Thank you and be safe. Have a good day..
U don’t need the expensive ass tools bro, he has the rly expensive ones cuz he’s probably been doin it for a while. Klein sells high quality tools just don’t go cheap with cutting tools.
Klein is the best bang for your buck. High quality and don’t break the bank
What should an apprentice electrician have for tools. Most important is to not go out that first day with a new tool pouch and all new tools. That will lead to instant harassment. When my youngest son joined the trade I gave him a used pouch and a complete set of my old used tools. A few days later he was thanking me after seeing the crew make fun of an apprentices new pouch and pristine tools. I would also suggest in most cases a tool bag is far superior to a tool pouch. I seldom ever needed more tools on me than would fit in my hip pocket. Having a bag nearby kept me from climbing with all that unnecessary tool weight. Tools necessary will always depend on what type of electrical work you do. I was a commercial electrician for 40 years and tools changed over the years. At one time we all carried a six foot folding rule and no measuring tape. Today wooden rules are relegated to the past. I always carried a pair on 9NE's with the hard red grips. Two pair of uninsulated channellocks. I preferred 430's as a good all around size to handle larger pipes and fittings. Quality hack saw. A few flat tip screwdrivers including one for trim. A phillips screwdriver and one insulated split tip for starting screws in hot bus bars. A pair of klein needlenose with the #12 stripping hole. One pair of t-strippers. A machinist's level, far more magnetic holding power than an electricians level. Pencil. Flashlight. Some type of tester. I always carried an ancient knopp tester. One pair of dikes. Now I also carried a few optional tools that made life easier for me. A screwdriver that could take a square drive bit for receptacles and switches. A small tap and bit set. A drill driver for wirenuts. Pen sized voltage detector. A roto splitter after ideal quit selling the original bx cutter( a far better, faster tool than a roto splitter.) A two foot length of jack chain and a small roll of nylon line. A small clamp on one vial level for pipe bending. A six inch crescent wrench. Union shops were required to provide all other necessary tools like drill motors, benders, etc. Why were the channel locks uninsulated? For pipe reaming.
That knipex pronunciation hurts but i agree with your list :)
i like to watch tools load out especially when they are used and don't look so clean like straight out of the packaging.
Are you saying these are too clean or that these are used?
@@americanelectricianthose are surely beat up. sorry I didn't made my point clear.
No no bro you’re good. Sometimes people say either one. I try to keep my stuff clean so I don’t track dirt through every building I work in so sometimes guys give me crap about it online
Honestly if I get crap for insulated tools I only have one response, I have bad luck with hurting myself.
Hey buddy first things first, great video! I have a question and it is definitely not a relevant one either. I’d like to know if I’d have a better future and make more money as a master electrician vs a car salesman? It will be in the Houston area in TX. Yes I do plan on opening up my own electrical contracting company as well. TIA
Two totally different jobs and life skills. An electrician is gonna be good money but wear and tear on your body. A car salesman could be even better money and no wear and tear on your body…. But major wear and tear on your mental state. Pick which you’d rather break down…. Body or mind and sanity.
Sadly, the FLIR does not do DC.
Non of them NCVT’s does that
need a better cam with auto focus fast response
What’s wrong with the Klein beater?
Nothing wrong with it but I definitely like the Wera better. It’s actually got the pass through shank and is much sturdier than the Klein. I also like the Wera handles much better
@@americanelectrician ok I’ll have to check out the Wera sometime. I’m pretty sure the Klein shank passes all the way through to the cap
The metal one does yes. If you ever get the chance to hold the Wera one you will understand!
Gotta work on that camera focus. Most of the time the camera wasn't focused on your face or the tool bag. And it was never focused on when you brought the tool directly in front of the camera. Lastly, easy up on the fake zoom in/out/camera movement. Too much of that is distracting and makes the viewer nauseous. Thank you for not having background music in your videos anymore.
I missed it up front. I fixed the settings a couple minutes in but I had it set for working behind the camera which didn’t work out so well
@@americanelectrician If you want to show a close up, do a still shot, or cut to you using them later. I've watched 3 of your videos now, and the whole zoom thing is really bad and annoying. The last video I watched you had a camera above the bag, and were showing the tools up close to the camera above you , and it really takes away from the production quality. You seem informed about the tools you talk about, but I don't want to watch any more of your videos with the way you show the tools up close and the zoom issue.
@@TmissinglinkC so did you see the bag or not? 😂😂 y’all hating this hard is crazy bro, he will get better with the video quality over time man that’s the easy part
Channellock is a brand; Knipex is a DIFFERENT brand.
Good content, good delivery, bad focus. You are in focus, tools are not. Back up to keep everything in focus. Then cut to a closeup to view the tool. I just bought a Klein lineman and a Klein needle nose and it was loose.
Pro tip: look into the camera lens, not at the camera screen. It makes you look more connected to your audience and not looking away from your audience.
Much appreciated! The camera work is a little different than what im used to do there’s some getting used to. I appreciate the tip!
@@americanelectrician second pro tip. To get the camera to focus on the tool your holding up close to the camera. Cover your face. Either use your left hand behind the tool or use the tool itself. That way you get the quick focus on the tool.
In english, it's okay to drop the K and pronounce it "nip-ecks". It's exactly like "knight" and "know". These are foreign words assimilated into english and we dropped the k over time. Just don't let the germans hear you.
Dude im dizzy with all the zoom
Apprentices, don’t EVER carry a spine twister like this….ask around your job sites….how many fused vertebrae, back problems…
What you do to your body when young affects you later in life….a lot.
Yes, keep a full tool bag nearby…within reason, some tools are not covered for theft.
Otherwise, enjoy the work, support each other.
It’s a bag, not a pouch or belt.
What is up?!?
“We measure and we write on things” don’t forget standing around and pointing lol do all that and you almost an electrician
