Thank you for the video. It was a great introduction to the modern tools used in HVAC for our high school students. The Klein finger ratchet wrench was the crown jewel for me. The students went through and priced up all the tools from your links. ~$1200 with the meter, which was the only item that did not have a link.
I bought a harbor freight magnetic tray from the 4" one and at the bottom of the radius I drilled a 1/8 hole and thread through split ring key ring and added a snap leash end. Like what goes on a dog leash . And just clip it to my veto MB3 . If you don't want to make one you can buy a titan brand magnetic tray from O'Reilly's auto parts store . For $6
Cool video, thanks for sharing. I’m a 3 year technician who just moved into a “selling tech” role and trying to rework my tool bag to minimize weight and bulk and maximize versatility. I purchased the tech-Mc pack today, in my market I end up on my belly for hours at a time in crawlspaces repairing or redesigning ductwork so I need something that can be zip sealed.
I have this same bag I do all my service calls out of for electrical work. I love this bag! Especially because you can put a meter in the middle and also a M12 drill! Great stuff man!
The open top bags are more efficient to work out of. I use a similar open top one from HD. I think its husky or something. That one is super nice. Well organized. I like the tools with a purpose. Good job
Thanks! Super Thanks. I am a DYI Landlord now entering the HVAC trade for a hobby. None of our local stores have Knipex; mainly just Klein and ridgid. I would have never known about Knipex tools until I viewed your video !!!
Check your local supplier stores or warehouses. Like Platt, johnstone, gensco, or Ferguson. They all have knipex. At least in my area. They are really for just your average joe to walk in and by. Normally they want a LLc or CCb account. But if I’m wearing my company gear they’ll let me buy stuff with a card or cash.
I have a klein backpack that my company gave me that I took two plano tackle boxes and filled with connectors. I'm a sparky but I also do HVAC on the side. Hvac is my first love, but I am an electrician at a university for the benefits lol.
I been using the same bag now for 2 years and I love it, my bag is set up kinda similar to yours, couple different tools, one thing I’d reccommend is keeping a shearer tool in the bin and I’m assuming you don’t use a stubby screw driver because you have the little wrenches but I’ve always found a stubby a bit more useful, definitely a couple tools out of here I’m gonna get and adjust my bag a bit
There is a code number in the handle of Knipex tools.The last 3 numbers is the length of the tool(in millimeters). Nice bag,nice set up and nice video.
This is the bag I'd use if I did Installs everyday instead of Service. Love how the clamp meter and leads drops into the center compartment. Too big for Service though.
Excellent video and a very neat and tidy load out...A few things I would add "just in case" : magnetic pickup tool, an led pen light two AAA torch for getting light into nooks and crannies, and possibly a magnetic work light, perhaps something that runs off M12 batteries? Finally, I would also consider a Non Contact Voltage Detector and possibly a mains outlet socket tester....
Good afternoon from the Great State of Texas. I carry mot of the same tools you also carry. However I use my bag for repairs around my house and my church. I do use a difirent bag. I do carry a real hammer. I do like your bag. I am going to go and find me this bag. Thank you very much for your video
@@rawchickensandwich Are you high from your Chicken Sandwich? The posting thread he would take Fluke over Fieldpiece. Fluke is junk in comparison to Fieldpiece. The only think you can say you saved money when your Fluke fails. So what are you talking about? This was over a month ago. A little late to the conversation.
My Dad calls it pookie. He's not in the trade but knows a little bit of everything.😂 I call it mastic or duct sealant. Those two are what I hear most when working with others or at supply houses.
😊 look wonderful, bag for use every day! But what about the small drill i living in Kentucky, i 'll came to see you store for buy i new in it work in HVAC !
What is your reasoning carrying a full nut driver set with handles as opposed to a multi screw driver that accepts regular magnetic nutdriver tips to save space? I did that for years with all the handles but can carry so many more usefull tools if I just carry the nut driver set with a universal handle. Also allows me to easily adapt to a 90 degree driver, flex bit, or extentions to put on a impact gun.
Not relevant to this video, but some of the individual nut drivers have a hollow shaft so can be really useful. Getting back to what's shown in the video, the little nut driver set coupled with the other shafts he already carries, might very well cover everything the Klein nut driver set does already...
Klein put that 11/32 socket on the nut driver for a reason and I'm curious because I've never had to use a 11/32 socket. I bought the klein flip socket set for my impact that goes all the way up to 3/4 but it didn't come with the 11/32. Have you ever used the 11/32 size socket for anything? what are they for?
Been looking for a bag like this for a couple of years now . I do access control and automations ( from electronics to motors and welding/ steel working side of things) . Here in South Africa you just can't find it .
What is that right angle adapter?? I have a decent one from Milwaukee but that one is MUCH slimmer and could be much better in cramped areas. How could you not post a link!
Was your handle riveted to the middle plastic insert? I bought the OT-LC Blackout Edition and took out all the screws holding the handle in place. But mine was riveted to the plastic insert on both sides.
Man your videos are awesome! full of great info and advice! I am about to retire from the military (20 years aviation maintenance/maintenance management) and due to the aircraft I work on I have my universal license already and I am really looking into the HVAC field post-retirement. Quick question: Do you have any advice for a guy like me that has zero "normal" HVAC experience and has only worked on an aircraft with 2 VCCS' onboard?
He's back working for a company as of a video he made like 6 to 9 months ago. I think he's more focused on his you tube and brand deals anyway. I've been in hvac and plumbing for 15 years and I've never met somone that only uses brand new name brand tools unless they are making these tool haul videos. It's making him money I get it but I don't see the difference between this and all the bimbos making a get ready with me video selling makeup products.
Yeah I can’t tell if he’s serious or not like why do you want your bag to weigh 30 plus pounds haha especially if you’re doing 3-5 calls a day and half are in attics and you have to go up a 8’ ladder
Can you please identify the bag where you got your replacement handle > was it a Veto or some other bag? Looks like it works well instead of the handle that comes with this bag. I may try to do what you did with this bag.
The handle is a veto . I have the same veto handle on my MB3 . Do not overload the bag with that little handle the clips will fail . Mine did I know my MB3 bag weight's 24 pounds veto suggest the max weight is 20 pounds . The clips would just let go and the bag drop. I since replaced the factory clips with steel clips and make a new slug system to hold the bag with a hard bottom
Those are just called cutting crimpers - not used much anymore bc most strippers or linesman pliers have a crimper built in. Great video! Big fan of the Knipex (and Wera, Wiha, etc) from Germany!
People that take care of their tools don’t let them look like shit. Dont throw them around and beat the crap out of them, clean them and they look new. Dont be a troglodyte.
If you are looking to make money, just have a silver tongue. If you just want to fix stuff and do service side stuff, you need a multimeter, 11-1 magnetic Klein, jumpers and a door switch magnet if you want to diagnose and fix most things. Maintenance side just bring whatever company you work for requires you to carry so you can enter info on service titan.
Why don’t they make a bag with a place to put a tablet?? Almost all companies now use tablets and they suck to carry around!! Please veto come out with a tool bag that we have a safe place to put a tablet!!!!!!
I pretty much exclusively use, uh what is this this, oh yeah any tool which sponsors me. Yeah this one uh pretty much does everything, but heres another one that does everything as well. So yeah guys, basically every tool i have basically does everything and more, thats why i have so many different tools that do absolutely anything and everything. Basically any tool i have is really good at its specific task but also does everything else perfectly. Make sure to use my sponsor link guys and ur good to go if you know what i mean.
Edit: I'm mocking the presentation, not the products. These tools are top of the line and if you know how to use them, and why, you can't go wrong with any of these. If you don't though, it's probably better to get good at having nothing first. If you rely on what you have, you will always lose to those who rely only on what they know. So just learn more and know more.
You must not been in the trade long , I wouldn’t carry half that stuff doing commercial calls on a roof.. I go minimalist, unless I’m replacing a compressor.. most of calls are quick, wearing yourself out for nothing! Use a small tech bag for calls and have a bag for replacement or repair..
These are my favorite kind of videos.
I have this bag set up for install work. I like it so far.

A magnet tray on the top of the square bin would have been nice for all screws that are removed..
You can purchase one from veto for pretty cheap, I had one on my bag when I had that style
I just put them on the floor and then spend 30 seconds looking for one screw that grew two legs and walked off

Ditto but I am HVAC. It is awesome.
Great point on the M12 and the meter
Awesome tip on the handle. The original handle does look like it is in the way. I'm waiting for them to do a blackout version of this bag to get one.
The open top bags are more efficient to work out of. I use a similar open top one from HD. I think its husky or something. That one is super nice. Well organized. I like the tools with a purpose. Good job
That handle unclipped hack is a game changer! I have the OT-LC and the standard handle is always right in the way. Nice video mate cheers 👍🏻

Been trying to figure out how to take that handle off now I know thank you.nice bag load out giving me some ideas🤔
My 7in1 magnet came out, it was hard to put back in but super glue and weird angles did the job nice bag setup 🤙🏻
Mine came out too. I need to get a new one
@@rawchickensandwich I put some super glue and let it sit about 12hrs and hasn’t came out since, maybe even some light epoxy
Love the run through, all of our favorite tools !!!
Good job zack keep rock and rolling
That Klein rachet is great. Btw secret move. You can take the plastic piece off of it and it holds 1/4 sockets.. yw
What plastic piece? I took the entire thing apart and still have no idea what you're talking about
Hooked tools on the side always fall. From drill to tape measure. The only thing I attach on the sides are nut sets strips or electrical tape
Love your work ur work help me alot
I love my Veto Tech OT-MC
I just did the exact same thing with that Klein ratchet!
Can’t go wrong with Klein and Milwaukee. I’d go with Fluke over FP. Good stuff.

Really enjoy your videos
Thanks and keep ‘em coming
Keep the videos coming 🔥🔥
😊 look wonderful, bag for use every day! But what about the small drill i living in Kentucky, i 'll came to see you store for buy i new in it work in HVAC !
The 7 in 1 for the nut drivers put them on backwards I was pulling them out of my bag and dropped them off the ladder 😢
this is literally my best investment
Don’t think fieldpiece makes the 460 anymore. They replaced it with the SC480.
Awesome video!

Getting back to what's shown in the video, the little nut driver set coupled with the other shafts he already carries, might very well cover everything the Klein nut driver set does already...
Nice set up
Its hard to get 460 the feildpeace 480 newer one available
I only carry the 14 and 1 for service calls
I carry all of the tools you showed except I use the fluke meter
Now for your tape measure, would you rather prefer one that: 1) has inches and fractions for measurements, OR 2) inches and centimeter measurements?
Inches and fractions as well as being certified for measurement length
Can we get an update on the Nissan high top van? Looking at getting one and wanted to hear about it more!

can you specify on what kind of handle you switched it too?? or what bag it came off of??
@qualityhvac what is the link for the tackle box
how is this bag for commercial and refrigeration? You don’t have no worries of tools falling out while going up a ladder?
Any cheaper alternatives for a clamp multimeter? Not trying to cheap out just need a temporary alternative
Slick!
