I'm in the electric technology class at mideast in zanesville. The class comes with all the tools you showed (kline) and a whole lot more. They hooked us up with the backpack, but we have to many tools to fit in it.
The one tool I've never seen in these tool collections is one that I used frequently. That's a 6" crescent wrench. Great for nuts on al-thread. Nuts on pipe straps. Being an older electrician most electricians in my day always carried two pair of channel locks. I preferred the 430 size as being large enough to handle fair sized pipe and still small enough to be convenient to carry in your pocket. And of course only bare handles because you reamed the out side of the pipe with the jaws and the inside with the handles. On larger pipe you had to push them well into the pipe. The hardest tool to find was a decent hacksaw. I had a spartan but it always cut crooked. The problem was that they often got tossed on the concrete and would spring out of alignment. I finally ran across an old craftsman hacksaw with the wheel adjustment and still have it today after decades of use.
Should also include a receptacle tester. Klein has an amazing one that will also inform you if the outlet is wired differently. Checking all that shows that your focused on the little details and makes a huge impression.
I’ve ended up having multiples of these tools since they are the most used. Just in case I lose one or it gets lost. I’ve actually left screw drivers,strippers, under houses and in attics.
Wow, really outstanding video. Reminded me of an "Old-School" hardware store in the best possible sense. Sure, you wanted to sale me stuff, but you also went out of your way to educate. Great job! I look forward to more.👍
Thanks Wesley, that means a lot! We like to put a major focus into education with these videos; there's no point in being experts on this stuff if we can't share that knowledge with other people!
Fantastic Video, awesome part numbers, pictures and descriptions. Great quick moving Video and love you’ve focused on 2-great Brands. The Klein Back Pack is a Failure. Work with a Maintenance Man and the Bottom of the Back Pack collapses and sit up anymore. Thanks for a great Video 🙏
I have the USA made Milwaukee lineman pliers and diagonal cutters. I have a set of each from every big brand that everyone would recommend - and I can honestly say the Milwaukee models are a nice choice. For me, NWS are the models to beat - but compared to Klein the Milwaukee seems just as nice.
Good list. Assuming by the title that you're only using Klien and Milwaukee since they're known names but I wouldn't touch klien screw drivers again and the Milwaukee ones are bulky and horrible. I bought a multi bit screwdriver from klien and within a few weeks the rubber was coming off. The milwaukee voltage tester I would stay away from as it's extremely bad, difficult to open to change the batteries and falls apart, for voltage testers Fluke and Klien are both good. For the channel locks(aka slip joint pliers) I would go with the Knipex Cobras as they're are far better as the Klien channel locks have zero bite to them. The backpack is debateable as a small bag with a larger bag with wheels is better for the back and hips. I use a husky set which is very sturdy and strong. The knife can be a utility blade or a hawkblade/the wire stripping knife from klien. Best tools in all honesty is Knipex for all cutters, strippers and cobras, wera for screw drivers, tape measure doesn't matter, the klien level is best due to the magnets only, Klien/fluke voltage pen tester, bag is better with the packout of some sort. Also a small pouch is a must as it allows you to carry the tools you use most on you at all times. All in all very good informative video.
If your new and want to be set get the Milwaukee screwdriver pack USA made preferably and Milwaukee or Klein lineman cutters diagonal cutter needle nose pliers and strippers as well as the Milwaukee 10inch channel locks if your doing industrial/commercial if your doing res don’t worry abt it and also a Klein tools voltage meter with receptacle tester Milwaukee tape measure would be good too and level if doing ind/comm utility knife Milwaukee fastback is good and maybe a roll of tape but that’s everything you will need as apprentice could leave a few things out and get them as the money starts coming in a little more
Is this for construction laborers or electricians? Not a single DMM on the list. Klein and Knipex for hand tools. Fluke for all meters and testers. Milwaukee for a drill and driver. Veto for a tool bag.
Ohio power tool, aka the company 1000% better than tool nut any day of the week. I cannot tell you how many times I've regretted not just buying something from them instead of tool nut. But those Jack wagons paid to be the first on google search. But never again, Ohio power tool you have my business!
Really happy we have been able to take care of you and earn your business! That's all that matters to us! Don't like to speak badly of any of our competition, we'll just stay focused on our customers and rest will sort itself out. Thank you!
They are not commonly used as they are designed to meet European safety standards. The differences in country standards honestly just boils down to monitored testing, that's all.
@@OhioPowerTool Thanks for the info. I was just interested as I always see US spraks on TH-cam with non insulated drivers. In the UK it'd be very rare to see a spark without VDE screwdrivers.
The ncvt is good and all if you know how it works via capacitive coupling so it's not always the most accurate I usually use it as a second check that something I'm working on is dead or to see which wire in a cable is the hot wire but I always test on a known live source first and don't forget about a good multimeter you don't need to go crazy expensive the fluke t5-600 is a good starter multimeter for anything low volt 120/208/240 granted if you start working industrial or commercial and on medium voltages like 277/480 347/600 I'd go with something at least 600 volt cat 4 1000 volt cat 3 rated. But defo get a multimeter that will give actual values and is much much more reliable than a ncvt.
Best advice for apprentices is to pass on the Milwaukee hand tools and stick to Klien with the mindset that you will replace any of the tools with Knipex or Wiha as the Klien tools wear out. Klien is still a decent brand but they arent what they were 15 years ago. Knipex is what all the commercial and industrial electricians strive to use especially the Cobra line. I dont know a wireman who doesnt say Im going to buy a pair of knipex pliers as soon as my current pliers give out.
Hey Martin! I'm sure we could figure something out; this video is the result of extensive research and time, so it may take us a while, but we should be able to throw something together!!
Hey Martin, always happy to hear that someone wants to be a carpenter. They aren't really about tools, but if you have some time to kill here on YT look up Larry Haun framing. The videos are kind of amazing and will teach you a ton about layout, planning, terms etc. Also watching the guy and his brother drive nails is mesmerizing. Admitedly, they were shot in the 90's so some things have changed but the basics are still the same.
Certainly can upgrade to that, Veto makes great stuff. Our local trade school recommends the Klein backpack version but functionally they do the same thing.
We also carry Wiha and Knipex and love them! No sponsorship here, these are just a little more price friendly and the most common ones we see from the schools that we partner with. You are correct though, there are plenty of great options out there!
Beginners don’t need tools. Wait, save, buy as needed. I find a lot of great stuff is made by Ideal. If Home Depot carries it, it’s probably not the model you want. But at the electrical supply house instead.
The tape measure, please don’t show that image before you showed the klein tape measure. We’re not measuring our bodies here. For the tape measure itself, for easy sake, make everyone buy with metric, just in case the jobsite people go to will be measured in metric Other than that, not bad for a starter tool list! I had most of these tools from the start. There are some pet peeves that i have in some of these tools before, so i changed them
Nice list of tools, I'd change a few of them to different brands but the list is solid. What happened to the other guy hope he's doing well, not that “ weird Al” isn’t doing a good job.
At the end of the day, the brand is really up to personal preference; we just wanted to highlight which specific tools you'd need with some examples! The other guy is doing just fine, he's just moved to a more behind the scenes role!
I’d just like too add that this is relevant to the USA, and not here in the UK. I have an extensive collection of Klein VDE tools, screwdrivers, pliers, pump pliers, side cutters etc. Also the non insulated 11 in 1, 4 in 1 stubby and 4 in 1 precision drivers, hacksaws, tape measure, magnetiser, digital temp probe, multimeter, several volt sticks etc etc you get my drift. So, I’ve spent all that money but I’m about to ditch Klein in favour of Milwaukee, Wera and Knipex. Why you may wonder, it’s because of poor aftersales support. It’s impossible to get things locally, and import costs are prohibitive. So, I’m going to predominantly buy European manufacturers tools, and not USA things. My OCD won’t let me mix brands/colours etc so the Klein kit will be retired, but kept as a possible backup if I’m unfortunate enough to experience another tool theft. I have the Milwaukee nut spinners you featured, them and a set of non insulated drivers will be my only outside EU tools I’ll have, backed up by Knipex and Wera. Apprentices, buy quality tools, buy a tool a month, build them up and take good care of them, they will be earning you your living going forward and some VDE stuff could save your life. Other manufacturers like Wiha, Stanley Fatmax ( owned by DeWalt ) Bahco ( owned by Snap On ) have very good quality tools and are worth consideration.
Not the tools or the models I would recommend to a new electrician apprentice. Tools are too basic when there are better alternatives. This video looks more like an informercial than anything else.
Klein and Milwaukee are used by a lot of professional electricians and they’re readily available. Yes there are other options like Knipex and Wera but they can’t go through every company’s products in a video. I’d say these were solid recommendations.
Klein and Milwaukee are definitely used by majority of electricians , especially apprentices who can go to they’re local big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes
@@rds9872he means even Klein has other options that are better from the bare minimum Kleins to 1000v insulated Kleins and journeyman Kleins a lot of other options
Milwaukee does have a few options 3, 4 & 10 piece insulated screwdriver set. Nothing in nut drivers or any other hand tools yet. Hopefully they can ramp up that USA made hand tool factory and fix that. www.ohiopowertool.com/brands/milwaukee-tools/milwaukee-hand-tools-screwdrivers-and-fastening/milwaukee-tools-48-22-2210
For 3rd year Apprentices and up. After you save some money. Upgrade all these tools mentions here to KNIPEX , WERA , WIHA AND VETO PRO PACS. Empire makes the best levels and keep some milwaukee strippers and knives . Klein suck
This video is bad. Y'all don't know what you're talking about. 11 in 1 klein (HD or extended) 32751 klein (square and small Phillips shafts are nice too) 6 in 1 nut driver shaft (handle not needed Bosch 6in extension Klein hybrid lineman's Knipex 7in and 10in cobra 13 71 8 Knipex strippers (expensive but way better, or needle nose version) Fluke pen tester 14 in 1 klein precision driver (or 27/40 piece) Klein or knipex dykes Husky little bucket pouch or 18in bag Klein 6in level Husky 4 in 1 ratchet wrench 3/8, 7/16, 9/16 impact deep sockets Klein adjustable length screwdrivers, 3in and 6in (only need the shafts) Midwest Sheet metal cutters Also good... Knipex lineman's with strippers Klein needle nose with strippers klein katapult strippers ---- This is way better than the video. Smaller, lighter, way better quality. Probs more money, like 2x, but also about 5x as useful and 3x better quality. The video is a salespitch. Klein has good stuff. But single drivers for newcomers is ass. And Milwaukee tools are ehh at best. At best. Channel is bad for selling a lot of trash as top tier.
Jose, this is a great list! Thank you for sharing! We know when it comes to building a perfect electricians tool kit everyone is going to do it a little differently. This is NOT meant to be the perfect kit. We just wanted to share what the apprentice program has for the minimum tools required, of course these students can add or upgrade from there!
You must not be an Electrician, best electrical pliers are made by Klein and Knipex, also Milwaukee have very good electrician handtools that keep getting better and better! Milwaukee make my favorite wire strippers (Milwaukee 6in1).
@@mikeaustin1323 Yeah the video talked about Electrician apprentices, and it shows that you re not an electrician from the brands choice (General construction? Plumbing ? Although most plumbers love channel lock and Ridgid)
I tried a beginners courses in electrical andni fell in love with the trade.
Im 38 soon to be 39. I may be old for it but im going to do it anyway.
Not too old at all. The avg age for electricians is 41. Get after it.
Never to old to learn a new skill

I think the list is fine, but I would add a magnetizer/demagnetizer. Klein has a nice one on a keyring you can attach to your bag.
A magnetizer would be an excellent addition!
Any magnet will magnetize. Smack it on concrete to demagnetize.
Klein hand tools and Milwaukee power tools is all you'll need. Take it from me I'm a pro.
Listen to Ron, folks! This man knows what he's talking about!!
I've stuck with Klein as well because most of the handtools are made in America.I will try the Milwaukee US made handtools.
Should also include a receptacle tester. Klein has an amazing one that will also inform you if the outlet is wired differently. Checking all that shows that your focused on the little details and makes a huge impression.
Very solid recommendations i personally use milwaukee but my buds all use klien its all about what you like personally. They all get the job done well
I’ve ended up having multiples of these tools since they are the most used. Just in case I lose one or it gets lost. I’ve actually left screw drivers,strippers, under houses and in attics.
Union electrician 15 years and counting. Klein tools, Fluke testers. Milwaukee for power tools. CLC tool bags and belts.
I like clc but veto hands down has the best bags

Ncvt is fine but I'd recommend a multimeter until you understand how to use ncvt as it's not always entirely accurate depending on the situation
Knipex has some amazing stuff too a bit on the expensive but man are they good
That's very true! There are a ton of great options out there, and Knipex are definitely up there among them!
I’d definitely spring for the cobras if anything
What size cobras do u recommend for a homeowner? I’ve been looking at the knipex but wasn’t sure which size would be best. Thanks!

The best tools Klein offers is the plier wrench and the needle nose wire strippers.
Snips, multimeter, 1/2 inch chuck brushless drill.
Good explain.
I saw stay away from the Milwaukee channel locks they are more likely to slip and pinch your hand
For real, something about the way the end of the handle feels when it hits you is punishing
what about the milwaukee ECX screwdriver, no electrical apprentice should be without!!!
Great content!!
