I used to be the guy who brought half his truck into a service call. Now it looks like a 6in1, meter, stub gauge, service wrench, adjustable, coffee and cigarettes of course.
Nicely played. I created my bag to handle 90% of diagnostic calls. I prefer stubbies over a full manifold, personally. Every bag should have a thermal imager IMO. For the new techs, your bag will be different based on your path, refrigeration, commercial, residential, etc.
This was helpful. I have the DeWalt right angle adapter and that Rigid plumbing 45 degree wrench. I see they will be helpful. I want get that ratcheting crimp tool and the magnetic thin ratcheting bit holder. My Knipex adjustable pliers have a thin head and helped remove the spud connection for valves on radiators. They are very strong. I dulled the teeth on a pair after years of use. They help with refrigeration connections too. Thanks this video was clear and concise.
Always nice to see other techs tool bags. The last guy mentioned he had a nine mm. However my back was turned away from the screen at the moment. After my eyes got big when he said 9mm. I was wondering if he had a Smith and Wesson or a Barretta. So when I replayed that portion I seen it was only a 9mm combination wrench. First my thoughts were cool if the equipment is really bad one would just shoot it. Hope you get a laugh out it like I did. Thanks for sharing.
Was interesting. Would have liked explanation why they may have chosen Testo gauges over others and same with camera. I see old school has his lineman’s pliers sporting the purple insulation grips. Have had 1/2 dozen stolen over the years. 🤬😂
I'm not surprised Eric Is the one with the most complete tool bag and the only one with a Knipex item . Surprised he don't use Bahco adjustable spanners though .
Gentleman #2 tools is just about everything... Dont carry in a full socket set when your only going to change an evaporator motor.. As a great mechanic i knew from the past would say... (he only brought in so many tools like guy #2) he said if i have to go to the truck for more special tools, They have a bigger problem. Although doing supermarket work, You have a shopping cart, no big deal to bring in more tools... Then again if your going up on a roof, avoid trips by thinking out what you need when your at the van.
I go with a 4way and channel lock pliers until I figure the job out. I carried bucket buddies & various bags for years and it all comes to a 4way and channel locks and a meter. 🤣🤣☕🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🍇🏌🏻♀️ Stay safe. Retired ( werk'n) keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.
most of our guys at coolsys have veto bags of some sort, i’ve had a few of them for years and they have held up, i did sell the large tech pack because i tended to load it up fully and it weighed like 50 lbs so now i use the smaller backs to limit weight
great information

It’s good to get a roller cart for around the store when working on cases
