Wow I'm a 40 year Mechanic and I was impressed by your tool carrier and all the well thought out Professional tools. You dont see it alot anymore with the younger guys. You take Great Pride in your Abilities and Profession.
@Sparky Channel. Thanks for reposting. Keeps reminding me of the various tools of the trade that will come in handy. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Appreciate the links that’s included in description of your videos, and after reading (as I do), it reminded me that I gotta get a new case for my fluke multimeter. Thx for the reminder 👍🏻
Great video and nice selection of tools. It is good to see some oldies like the Klein needlenose and Fluke117 along with some Knipex and Veto. It will be interesting to see the 2020 edition. Thanks Sparky.
Hi Bill, would you be able to make a video showing when and why one would use the alligator clip attachment for the Ideal Suretest Circuit Analyzer? I have one and love it but have struggled to justify the price tag of the clips....maybe I just haven't thought of a situation where it would be useful. Thanks
Bill, you got a great setup there for your tools. Veto has some really great bags, totes, and pouches...& yeah, not cheap😉 4:47 Warren made a pretty great tool, imo, and use my Voltclaw quite a bit, your review of it was great, by the way. 6:22 I’m currently using Southwire electricians combination pliers (S7N1HD) that was sent to me almost 2 yrs ago now, and they are still in my main work bag. Really do like them and the cutter. Very similar to the Knipex you have, just the southwire ones aren’t insulated. Started a house Reno 4 days ago, and it’s interesting, as the homeowners did all their remodels, added an addition, & anyth8ng else to this house...all themselves (which I’m not saying is “bad”; but when a person does something and it’s totally wrong & unsafe; well....it is bad. Imo). The timeline for the job is end of May to first week of June; for everything to be finished and new ppl can move in. Never amazes me that “you think you’ve seen everything”; and then something surprises you when start on a new jobsite....OH MY😅 Have a good one Sparky and thanks for the channel. Always enjoy watching and listening to what you have to say; and the stories you tell, LOVE the stories✌🏻
The OT MC is my wet plumbing bag . The only issue , is that it’s open topped , attracts prying eyes and sticky fingers ! Also not great for snow ,Ice and frozen slush ( big deal in Canada ) . My present fave. as far as Veto is concerned , is the newish TP XL , rides on the top of my Milwaukee Packout . I totally agree on your choices in re: non contact voltage testers ! I’m glad you turned me onto the Klein Hybrids ! We have the same taste , in most important areas !
Hi Chris! My thing is that I want to get the work done ASAP. Especially with renovating houses, time is money, serious money. My crew is generally me and 2 other guys, one mostly non-skilled, one pretty skilled and me. I do carry extra drivers etc. to loan out but I don't loan out the testing equipment and the VDE tools. I live in a dry climate without sticky fingers around so the OT MC is perfect for me. Keep on truckin Chris!
I used to use open top bags exclusively. Until I bought a Veto MC bag. Been hooked on Veto ever since. Now I run a Tech MCT. Every professional tech deserves a Veto Pro Pac.
7:09 - also you can use the square edge to deburr conduit. And it's a crimper. I work with electricians and since one left me on the lam with an incomplete job I got those pliers. I'm surprised not to see a Klein stubby or a Wiha slimline multiscrewdriver. Guess it helps with biceps.
I'm sorry he left without finishing the job but you scored a really nice pair of pliers! A stubby multi would be a good idea. One might make it into "Sparky's Favs 2020". :)
7:04 I'm dying, hahaha. "THEN YOU GOT THIS BAD CUTTER RIGHT HERE! Don't put your finger in there, it will cut it right off. WooHoo! NICE." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey, Bill. First, I want to start with a thank you for all that you do when it comes to teaching and explaining all things electrical in each of your videos. Second, you have motivated me to return to the trade and go back to school to become a licensed electrician. Well, you and my little brother. That's why I am taking the time to write a comment on this video. I am sure I am just overlooking this, in several videos that you list your tools on. But I have not found the link to "NTC" so we can order the tool that your friend invented. I had to pause the video at just the right time and look the company up myself instead of following the link. Is there a reason you are not linking the tool on your video tool list? I just ordered a set for my brother and they are not an expensive tool, but the shipping is a little high. Again, thank you for all that you teach us! I know I will be paying closer attention in the upcoming months ahead.
Lol, you have no idea how many DIYers or handymen use drywall screws on boxes. This is why I also carry a small box of 8-32 and 6-32 screws (long ones so I can cut them to fit) as well as the tap so I can fix them every time I run into one.
Happy Thanksgiving Sparky I love you videos I need some help with something Kenmore oven gas bake igniter changed still takes two hours to heat up 350 any suggestions thank you

This guy knows the stuff. Knipex is the top line. Ideal is so expensive but worth it in long term. Nice set!
Hey there BIll, I was confused for a brief moment. I thought I heard Scotty Kilmer for a second.. lol
LOL! Rev up your receptacles!
@Sparky Channel. Thanks for reposting. Keeps reminding me of the various tools of the trade that will come in handy.

I just got this bag, what an awesome setup you have here!
Appreciate the links that’s included in description of your videos, and after reading (as I do), it reminded me that I gotta get a new case for my fluke multimeter. Thx for the reminder 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! Yes, cases are important for meters. And not dropping them. LOL!
thanks for the tips Sparky! hope you are having a good day today!
Thanks! You too!
Loved The Tool Bag

Thank you for posting all the information of tools and places to buy them.
No problem, thanks Jose!

Thanks! Onward and upward with the new Sparky Channel!
7:06 “Don’t put your finger in there you’ll cut your finger right off” 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 thanks Mr. Sparky.
No problem, thanks!
Awesome set up!
Thanks Sparky! I own 4 products from VETO and yes in my opinion they are top shelf all the way!
Yes they are!
As an HVAC technician, electrician tools are so clean lol
Was waiting for this video!!! Thankyou for uploading. Love your content.

Thanks Valerio!
Can you make a video on the voltclaw ?
Sparky. I wasn't sure where you keep your torque screwdriver at in that tote??
@4:42 love that volt claw !! I got mines today, I also ordered the Grab claw since I got a good deal for both , can’t wait to use them !!
Excellent. You'll really like it, especially for the deep boxes.
I think you should make a short video on both of the volt claw tools.
I believe I have one on my hard drive. I have been getting lots of questions about it, so I will if I can find it. Thanks!
Nice! Thank you for the list. Grabbed the tap-driver thing, no more upgrading fixture screws to drywall screws!
Excellent. Thanks Joe!

Hi Ruben. Sounds great!
5:03 Amp*
I prefer my old leather klien pouch!
They are hard to beat, I understand.
you need a fluke 289 in there. :)
The 289 certainly has it's place because it is so accurate, etc. But the size and weight makes it more of a really nice bench meter. Thanks Dave!
Out of all the nice tools you got a Stanley tape measure
It's my favorite.
They’re the best
Is that a bad thing? I have a couple fax maxs and haven't had any problems.
@@jake-mv5oi theres a reason everyone has 1
You 3 hybrid pliers in there!? Are you building up your biceps!? ;-)
Yes! LOL!
Nice setup but lots of redundancy in your array of tools.
Thanks!
حقيبة جميلة
Only thing I would change in your set up is those Dewalt drills for the Milwaukee m12 fuel set . Besides that great tools .
Yes, the Milwaukee m12s are excellent!
Why choose?
Running dewalt and Milwaukee for years.
M12 is my finish drill
Dewalt 20 light drilling
I enjoy this video just like my daughter enjoy see cocomelon 😂
Excellent!
Cool How much ???
Well over 1k usd
I’m old enough that I used to flash the circuit instead of using the circuit finder.
Too crazy and stupid for today’s sparkys
But that’s what we did
What does "flash the circuit" mean? I assume from your comment it was a bit dodgy?
@@ianbutler1983
Flashing a circuit is deliberately shorting the hot out.
The short causes the breaker to trip and kills the power ( and the electrician if you’re not extremely careful)
Not a method I advise using, but we used to do it that way
@@itaintrocketscience Yikes.
Thanks.

It's like 10k tools in there
nah more like 500-1K
