I have watched a lot of tool reviews and bag setups, and this is by far the best setup I have ever seen. It also mirrors a lot of the same items I've found in my search of the best items or tools for the job. I noticed you don't have a huge following yet, but the quality of your videos and selection of tools makes me believe this has the potential to become a very large channel. You've made the jump from learning how to use the tools; to mastering skills, and now publishing what I think is one of the best 'EDC' a general handy-man or general contractor could ever have. A few years ago I didn't know as much as I wished about tools, and I always wondered what I could do if I had 'that' tool; now I understand a couple tools with the right user can do just about anything. This tool bag is a perfect reflection of that philosophy. While most of the tools are of high quality and not necessarily cheap; if someone took enough time to understand the purpose and maximize every tool in this kit they could accomplish 80% of any repair or 60-70% of any project they ever wanted to do. If I had any advice for anyone watching this video it would be that if you invested in this exact toolset you would be amazed how to matter what you want to work on, how many jobs you could complete in comfort with this kit. Everyone should subscribe and click that bell! Really looking forward to what content you are able to come up with in the future; what an amazing kickoff to a channel!
Wow man, I really appreciate your words. This bag was the consequence of maybe two or three years of switching out tools, lugging around big set ups, and just noticing what works best for me, while pick up tools that I can get the most use out of.
tool bags and tool selection is not necessarily my forte but I’ve spent enough time working w an electical contracting crew and with some guys that are very adept in this area. Everything you say mirrors what I have had to put together from many different sources over a handful of years loving this. Keep it up!
@@BrandenBraxton hey quick tip for the Packout self opening issue, use heat shrink tubing on the metal latch. They aren't that hard to remove and place back. They'll stay shut and have a better seal.
My stuff is sort by jobs type...each one as a tool box,a bag and buckets....#1Gyprocs and framing. #2 Plaster and Painting #3 pluming and electrical basics #4 is the Work Shop where i Process big cuts or job preparation....so i have many times the contente of that bag of yours...you know what i mean,we always keep buying tools again and again...OMG its a Culte..lol...keep helping others Brother. Pce!
I’ve subscribed for about 3 weeks and I think I’ve watched this video 10 times. As a Milwaukee/Klein/Knipex fan this is the most satisfying video to repeat over and over again. My wife thinks I have a problem lol.
Those are high quality tools. It looks like you take good care of them. If you want a different topic for a new video, perhaps you could show us the supplies you keep in inventory and take to your jobs. For instance, screw and bolt assortments, electrical crimp terminals, duct/electrical/masking tapes, string, pipe fittings, etc. Thanks for the video.
This popped up on my recommended because I love tools and less than a minute in I was loving this video. Checked out your profile and this is the first video on your channel???? The quality and detail is amazing, definitely earned my like and sub. Great tool setup btw, I’ll need to check out that Wera bit set since I currently have the bulky Milwaukee case you mentioned.
Klein has an awesome usb-c rechargeable head lamp. its even removable off the strap with a little magnet for inside of electrical panels. Check it out, it was only like $30
Best headlamp for your kind of work is the Zipka by Petzl, HANDS DOWN. It's going to last wayy longer per battery than the milwaukee and the size/weight is unmatched by any brand period. You could fit 3 of them in a breast pocket if you wanted. I've tried at Least 30 different headlamps and this one beats them all no question about it (for general purpose at least)
You got good tools..... But don't think we are stupid.... Everything is New.... no tools were beaten in this video... go make forgiveness at church for lying to us 🤣🤣🤣🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Double check your milwaukee torpedo!!! Spent almost $50 on mine and was WAY off the level plane on every side. Im milwaukee all the way but this useless torpedo and zero customer support about it shook my faith in a brand iv invested thousands in
This popped in my recommends. Looks like you hit the algorithm based on the comments. Enjoyed the content and subbed. As far as stud finders I found using a strong magnet to find the nails worked the best.
For the headlight you should check out the olight h1r nova. It's a little flashlight with a magnetic base that you can use with or without the headband. USB rechargeable too
All your gear is good quality stuff, but none of them seem to have been used ?? The only things I would change would be Stabila for a level, Stanley Fatmax for the tape measure and Estwing for a hammer. Also those snap-off utility knives don't work very well on plasterboard.
Bro, it’s badass to see another young guy working with their hands. The trades are approaching a huge shortage of tradesmen so there is plenty of opportunity and money to be made by us. Subbed! Bless up brother! 💯
Look into the streamlight clipmate USB. clips on to the hat on the side with a flexible head on it and its rechargeable. We use them in the automotive trade.
Seriously. That bag and everything in it are brand new. I have tools that are 10, 20, 30 years old. And they look it. He's taking about a DEMO SCREWDRIVER HE BEATS ON, without a scratch on it. If it looks like a hack, talks like a hack..........
Hell ya man! I have a super similar layout for my tools. I would add: Electrical zipties that have the screw holes(can be used to strap down conduit or bundle wires they are also generally heavier) Klien wire stripper mini linesman tool(bright blue handle) fills multiple roles in a single tool. Light weight for general work keep full sized tools in electrical specific bag Impact rated drillbits(small kit)up to 1/2 inch for wall anchors etc. Automatic center punch to prevent drill bits walking. Demolition chisel(side strike chisel) for cutting in door locks. Breaking shit. Battery holder. AAA size holds 6 batteries Teflon tape... can double as thread locker in a pinch. Duct tape small roll...because duct tape. I also keep several options for allen keys and torx look at the wiha allen bits they have great boxes and are reasonable same with torx Makita makes decent compact socket sets as well Small klein coltage tester. Cheap and can help diagnose problems.
More stuff! Strap wrench-- non marring and can pull your ass out of the fire for plumbing and handyman stuff. Cobras you need a second larger set! They work best in pairs. Pliers wrench can sub in but can also crush plastic pipe more readily! Picks...for poking and scratching things! Glue/loctite -- small bottle gorilla glue, super glue, glue stick style blue loctite
Thanks man,you mentioned a lot of useful items! A few items I do have, just don’t have the right amount of space. Yet my veto pro pack is in the mail so I’ll be switching to that soon and making some adjustments.
Which demo chisel you use? I just picked up the hart one and some of their new vise grips put of curiosity and they're actually damn good lol not crazy amazing or anything lol but so far for low cost tools that you need to take a beating I've been extremely impressed.
I cannot recall the last time I commented on a video. However, this one was brilliant. I watched it a few times and took detailed notes and just ordered now everything I didn't have from either amazon or home depot. I have the 15 inch packout so I added a few things like a square, drill bit box, hammer, chisel, crescent wrench, vice grip, and tiny screwdriver set. I have a few packout organisers and I am not sure how to best organize those. Maybe Mr. Braxton can do videos on how to set up organisers for carpentry, and electrical. Thank you.
Klein makes an amazing headlamp that is rechargeable and has an orange rubberized headband which I love about it as well! Klein Tools 56034 LED Head Lamp
The almost immutable rule I have observed in the trades over many years is this. The older and more experienced a person becomes the less they carry with them into a building or facility until they assess the job and determine what they need. I remember working with my grandfather years ago and he just carried a simple grey sears craftsman toolbox with a few things in it… To maintain all of the stuff he had at the apartment houses that we kept up. We could’ve had so many more tools then he carried (I didn’t carry much of anything because I was a little kid) but he really wasn’t able to carry a heavy toolbox so he didn’t bring much along unless he knew he would need it. I have figured that out along the way as I’ve gotten older and my back started to hurt, that I have tended to remove anything out of my tool kit that I don’t use at least a couple of times a week unless it’s some thing that if I had to have it I couldn’t buy one somewhere close by at the store if I was in a bind.
@@natedoggin1077 true to a certain annoying extent... but I still stand by the sentiment that I can get 90% of the work done with 10% of my tools. The other 90% of my tools are specialty items that serve specific needs or are for large jobs. If I know I am going to do an equipment install I will probably take my more extensive kit, but for daily maintenance... a small backpack kit generally gets me by these days.
Awesome video and nice tool load out,man! Love the quality/style/editing on this video. A headlamp(s) I HIGHLY recommend, I also use for hiking/camping...look into Petzl or Black diamond headlamps. Those are reputable brands.
Thanks man I appreciate it, I take a lot of pride in my tools. Sounds good, if they’re used for outdoors I’m sure they’re made with quality, I’ll definitely look into those brands!
I agree petzl or BD. They have some really small format ones, even more compact than the Milwaukee you showed. Good light and I have been very happy with the battery duration (although I don’t use it day in day out)
Its possible to keep them looking new if your store them properly, not just toss everything in a bag. Saying that i use the bag method for speed so i dont need to organize everyday, also my stuff is a bit more worn. He does have a very nice collection of brand name stuff though, my kit is similar.
I love the FastCap 16’ tape measurer. Super durable, has a built in pencil sharpener and little writing pad on the face to jot down quick measurements. Also gives 1/16th measurements on both sides of the tape which has proven much more convenient than I’d even have thought. Great little tool to check out if you’re still interested in trying new tape measures!
If you want a better headlamp, stay away from tool stores and look at flashlight forums. Through extensive research the best ones for the price I found are the Sofirn sp40 and the Wurkkos HD20. The HD20 uses a 21700 while the sp40 uses the 18650 battery. The wurkkos is slightly heavier, more powerful, more bulky, and more versatile, but is also almost twice the price of the Sofirn. Also, the HD20 is actually made by sofirn but they sold the designs to wurkkos for some reason, hence the similarity. 18650 and 21700 batteries are much high performers than standard Alkaline. Also the HD20 can use 18650 and CR123 batteries if you have the battery sleeve, I believe the HD20 comes with the battery adapters for this purpose
I use pretty much all that you have the issue I have with Milwaukee lights is how fragile they are. They all seem to fail in the same location for me, and that's the clip. right now they are all clipless and missing the magnets that are all so useful. I returned them to the dealer for a warranty replacement took three months to get them replaced then they broke in the same spot a month later. Mind you that I never even used the darned clippers . Just would normal tool bag or pants pocket.. it's a shame..such useful lights particularly the longer one. My most useful light presently and the surprisingly cheapest one is my rechargeable headlamp from wal-mart it has two lamps on it, the charge lasts me all day sometimes two. it's bright as can be, 400 lumen at least. one lamp is for wide angle and the other for long throw.. combined you get to light up an entire field. It's a fantastic light if you can find it.. so good in fact I own two now. One tool that you are missing in your review that is beyond useful to me and a life saver is a pick set.. I use a craftsman set about 10 inches long or so. and it has 4 picks one straight one curved at a 90 degree one sort of curved and one with a finger bent shape ,, I use those suckers for just about anything from aligning holes in condenser covers so that I can start screwing in the 1000 bolts it has, to picking out circuitry in a mother board, or even detailing something , like to get grease that's been caked on a screw where you can't even tell there is a screw there.. tons and tons of random uses for those things, highly recommend you get yourself a set.. longer the better.. Another thing I use a lot is a contraption made by Nite-eze gear tie. It's like a chord that's you can shape in any way you want as well as you can use it to tie up your gear.. I've used it to make a phone stand, a flood light hook to hand my floodlight of an odd shaped locations, I've used it as an extra hand to hold something for me as I fix it. and of course to wrap up my gear.. hope this helps you and keep up the good videos
Made by NWS Germany. I brought the cutters pliers and snipe nose pliers by Milwaukee. Turned out to be exactly the same as my NWS pliers just re-badged. Knipex and Klein all the way.
Check out Chris Notap...his latest video is about best tools. He names a studfinder in it you may find interest in. Nice set up man. Try to make videos of you working
Great video You can set your camera to lock the focus and it will stop hunting. That is a great trick for these types of top-down shots. You can just TH-cam your specific camera and "AF lock."
I used to keep my bag filled like yours to have a nice setup but it gets heavy. No need for so many lights, just a head lamp and a good flashlight with a stand is great. Milwaukee makes needle nose wire cutters that could do the job that three of yours do. Definitely missing a wonder bar, those small blue pyrbars don't compare. Speed square and vise grips are a must.
I have the Milwaukee rechargeable headlamp. It’s a little bigger than the one you have and that makes it a little heavier than most. But I like it and it has great run time if you keep it on the low setting it’ll go for 2-3 full days. On the highest setting it’ll run for 4 hours only. Nice video, take care. I’ll keep watching
I stronly recommend the streamlight bandit pro for your headlamp solution. It come with an optional hat clip and regular head band, 3 brightness settings, usb rechargable, and a max life of about 18 hours, had them for a couple years, I love em
Awesome tools man, I’m starting to look into career paths such as yours so I’m trying to see what kind of tools I’ll need and what tools are nice to have, thanks for sharing your ideas 👍
Thanks! It’s definitely an exciting and rewarding career with any side of trades you chose. I’ll continue to play my part and release content to help with your journey.
Great tool bag. Very organized. Compared to mine. Lol. Best stud finder that never fails is the Franklin ProSensor. Exact. Before, middle and after stud. Don't leave home without it.
Franklin Sensor stud finders are the best and easiest to use if you just want a accurate location without too many other silly functions. There are various iterations but they all are multi LED based. OLFA scissor are smaller and better made than the Milwaukee ones. A tin snip (I don't think you showed one) can cut more than you expect. You may also try a Hilti Installation driver with the 4.0 batteries. You will just eliminate a few unnecessary tools. I find that anytime I actually need an impact, I need to move up to 18V. 12V impact and hammer drills are pinch tools. BTW The batteries on the Milwaukee makes the handle large and fatiguing to used all day. For multitools, Fein is a bit bigger but it will be worth the investment. Finally the new Klein strippers with the plier head is a good compromise if you want to carry a 1/2 lb less. On a larger tools, get a larger Tove (Gransfors Bruks) wrecking bar, it always comes in handy when you need naneuverable leverage.
Best toolbag set up I have seen. Very refined, i own all three Packout bags. Currently using the largest. I wish that had more slots and tighter slots.
@@BrandenBraxton Yes, I understand. I used a Klein backpack for a while. I just found I wanted open access to all my tools. The backpack definitely restricts you a bit. Does the veto stay standing up when the doors are open?
Well thought out setup. I really like the Knipex Cobras but you might want to add a 6" plier wrench. Won't mar chrome fittings. Also, I just picked up a Petzl Pixa 8 head lamp and I really like it. In a test, it ran at least 6 hours on high beam (forgot I was running test so didn't see when they ran out after the 6 hrs) on two freshly charged AA enegizer rechargables. The wide beam makes working in the dark really nice since it lights up a wide area. Keep up the helpful vids!
I’ve tried so many stud finders and always hated them. I tried running a big ass magnet and have been so happy. Never missed a stud or hit anything behind the drywall
Also I run a Stanley 26’/8m power lock tape because I like having metric and but I like my Stanley fat max way better than the Milwaukee. I’ve also tried the crescent and I like that one too
if you want a better flashlight/headliamp, my personal favourite is the armytek wizard nichia pro, very solid like with great performance. if thats out of your budget, the skillhunt H03 or H04 are great as well, especially if you wait for a sale you can get them as low as $25-30
That razor knife IS my pencil sharpener. I also suggest that you may want to upgrade your outlet tester to a klien circuit tracer ($30) it has all the same functions plus it can help you find what breaker feeds the outlet. Love my toolcheck plus... that’s one of the type of tools that I use to keep from carrying my whole bag into a house if I don’t have to. For a head lamp check out black diamond and petzl.
That’ll for sure come in handy with 90% of the houses I work on not having the break properly labeled or labeled at all. Also I’ve been hearing great reviews about petzel!
I’m an aircraft mechanic that happened upon this video. I don’t know how often you run into stripped out screws but I would recommend getting a set of the grabit speedout pro screw exctactor’s. Well worth the money you spend on them.
I'm an A&P too but I haven't had much luck with stripped out screw extractors. If you have a stripped out countersunk screw 9 times out of 10 your going to drill it out. For a button head you can slot it and use a flat blade screw driver.
Get a backlight level they are life-changing. Duracell makes a good head lamp it has one mode that does lights around instead of a beam real handy for close up work got mine at Costco in a 3pack. A 11in1 normal or 6 in one stubby are also really handy
I have and enjoy many of the tools you show here. I'm impressed how clean and undamaged your tools are. Mine are a mess. LOL I've recently picked up a Milwaukee packout cart and cases and still need to migrate over to it.
Great video man! If I may add 1 suggestion: Buy the pica dry pencil. They are around 10 dollars and can write on almost anything wet or dry. They come in multiple colours and will last a damn long time.
Thanks for the video. As for a headlamp recommendation I use a Zebralight and a Fenix. Both use 18650 rechargeable batteries and give you a ton of runtime at a respectable lumen output. It's a must for me.
Outside of store shelves I've never seen so many tools in what appear to be brand new or unused condition. I need to start working in a dust free hermetically sealed environment like this guy.
@@k2silence True enough but in my experience even when working indoors tools show signs of use in relatively short order. I'm not able to say one way or the other but I can tell you this much- You'll find a whole lot more guys who buy tools that they don't actually use than you will guys who use their tools and keep them looking brand new. I'd say the chances are that this dude spends more time shopping for tools than he does actually working with them.

Lol thanks man, no worries my girl thinks I’m crazy for liking my tools enough to review them smh. I appreciate the support!
I also think you have a problem
it's crazy how almost all of these tool bag videos show tools that look like they were just bought that day. I wish my tools looked that nice.
I was just thinking that!! the bag and almost every tool looks brand new!
It is because these guys are buying tools just for fun, i doubt they are using tools every day.

With the exception of the putty knife and a offset for a drill, everything is dust and scratch free.

One of my vials started turning so I’m trying to get a replacement
Stanley fat max tapes are the best I’m a big Milwaukee guy but dislike the tapes
Everyone has been saying that, I have a few jobs this weekend so I’m going to give one a try!
Same. Tried the Fatmax a few years ago. Been hooked ever since. Only tape measure I will buy
This popped in my recommends. Looks like you hit the algorithm based on the comments. Enjoyed the content and subbed. As far as stud finders I found using a strong magnet to find the nails worked the best.
Doesn't tell you where live wires are tho lol
For the headlight you should check out the olight h1r nova. It's a little flashlight with a magnetic base that you can use with or without the headband. USB rechargeable too
regarding the stud finder, check out the ones made by FRANKLIN SENSORS, they are the absolute best that i've ever used.
All your gear is good quality stuff, but none of them seem to have been used ?? The only things I would change would be Stabila for a level, Stanley Fatmax for the tape measure and Estwing for a hammer. Also those snap-off utility knives don't work very well on plasterboard.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I’ll have more content coming soon
You bastard, do you realise what this video is going to cost me 🤣. Great video bro, im subscribed.
I just use a strong magnet to find studs. The stud buddy is really good. Franklin semsors is good for an electric stud finder.
Stanley fat max tape measures 8metres are fantastic- better than Milwaukee. Plus get rid of klein tools and use the Knipex tools.
Milwaulkee has a 700 lumens head light rechargeable will run you 150 bucks but can't be beat
Hey man I think you got a heck chance to do good work so keep it up especially if you work at Apartments or home, neat set of tools.....
Bro, it’s badass to see another young guy working with their hands. The trades are approaching a huge shortage of tradesmen so there is plenty of opportunity and money to be made by us. Subbed! Bless up brother! 💯
That’s a fact, it’s sad the jobs I have to do for most man lol. But as you mentioned it keeps the opportunity open for us to make a profit.
Stud buddy is the best stud finder about 3 inches tall just a straight up magnet that finds the screws in the studs. 10$ at Home Depot
I like the magnetic stud finder by C.H. Hanson.
I’m a Zircon Center vision stud finder but the .C.H. Hanson is definite when batteries die.
C.H. Has never let me down. The only con is it’s so small it’s easy to lose.
@@LisaLovesMySi I always attach it to one my metal tools ie. Hammer, long drill bit, or long extension. That way it stays in place.
No wear or fading on the knipex? Barely used as those bar codes and part numbers disappear real fast with use.
Check out coast headlights ive used them in heavy industries work for years they are the best ive used
Fenix headlamps but don't believe the run times 100%
Look into the streamlight clipmate USB. clips on to the hat on the side with a flexible head on it and its rechargeable. We use them in the automotive trade.
Great tools, be a pity if somebody used them.
I was thinking the same... Most of those tools looks unused
Lmao, you guys are savage

Pry bar is the only thing with wear on it. Anyone who uses that particular one knows that paint comes off immediately. All of it
He won’t even dare reply to this lol
Hell ya man! I have a super similar layout for my tools.
I would add:
Electrical zipties that have the screw holes(can be used to strap down conduit or bundle wires they are also generally heavier)
Klien wire stripper mini linesman tool(bright blue handle) fills multiple roles in a single tool. Light weight for general work keep full sized tools in electrical specific bag
Impact rated drillbits(small kit)up to 1/2 inch for wall anchors etc.
Automatic center punch to prevent drill bits walking.
Demolition chisel(side strike chisel) for cutting in door locks. Breaking shit.
Battery holder. AAA size holds 6 batteries
Teflon tape... can double as thread locker in a pinch.
Duct tape small roll...because duct tape.
I also keep several options for allen keys and torx look at the wiha allen bits they have great boxes and are reasonable same with torx
Makita makes decent compact socket sets as well
Small klein coltage tester. Cheap and can help diagnose problems.
More stuff!
Strap wrench-- non marring and can pull your ass out of the fire for plumbing and handyman stuff.
Cobras you need a second larger set! They work best in pairs. Pliers wrench can sub in but can also crush plastic pipe more readily!

I watched it a few times and took detailed notes and just ordered now everything I didn't have from either amazon or home depot.

I have a few packout organisers and I am not sure how to best organize those. Maybe Mr. Braxton can do videos on how to set up organisers for carpentry, and electrical. Thank you.
Best headlight I've ever used is the streamlight double clutch. Can use AAA batteris or a rechargeable battery pack.
Klein makes an amazing headlamp that is rechargeable and has an orange rubberized headband which I love about it as well! Klein Tools 56034 LED Head Lamp
The almost immutable rule I have observed in the trades over many years is this. The older and more experienced a person becomes the less they carry with them into a building or facility until they assess the job and determine what they need. I remember working with my grandfather years ago and he just carried a simple grey sears craftsman toolbox with a few things in it… To maintain all of the stuff he had at the apartment houses that we kept up.
We could’ve had so many more tools then he carried (I didn’t carry much of anything because I was a little kid) but he really wasn’t able to carry a heavy toolbox so he didn’t bring much along unless he knew he would need it.
I have figured that out along the way as I’ve gotten older and my back started to hurt, that I have tended to remove anything out of my tool kit that I don’t use at least a couple of times a week unless it’s some thing that if I had to have it I couldn’t buy one somewhere close by at the store if I was in a bind.
This is true, I'm already beginning to split up my tools.
it seems that the second i take a tool out my bag is the second i need that tool the most
@@natedoggin1077 true to a certain annoying extent... but I still stand by the sentiment that I can get 90% of the work done with 10% of my tools. The other 90% of my tools are specialty items that serve specific needs or are for large jobs.
If I know I am going to do an equipment install I will probably take my more extensive kit, but for daily maintenance... a small backpack kit generally gets me by these days.
@@Soldiershak At my mature age i dont buy anything without 6 or 8 inch wheeled tool bags:)
@@michaelsmith9308 what are some good wheel tool bags?
Branden Braxton - I highly recommend this headlamp. I have tried many and this is my go to. It uses 4 AA batteries. Fenix HP15 UE 4AA Headlamp
Thanks, it must be good because someone else recommended it also.
Awesome video and nice tool load out,man! Love the quality/style/editing on this video. A headlamp(s) I HIGHLY recommend, I also use for hiking/camping...look into Petzl or Black diamond headlamps. Those are reputable brands.
Thanks man I appreciate it, I take a lot of pride in my tools.
Sounds good, if they’re used for outdoors I’m sure they’re made with quality, I’ll definitely look into those brands!
I agree petzl or BD. They have some really small format ones, even more compact than the Milwaukee you showed. Good light and I have been very happy with the battery duration (although I don’t use it day in day out)
If a handyman came to my house with this quality of tools I'd faint. Most the time these guys around here use Walmart tools. Even the techs.
Lolol
When someone gets a toolbag for christmas 😂
I mean it looks like u never use any of ur tools.
Its possible to keep them looking new if your store them properly, not just toss everything in a bag. Saying that i use the bag method for speed so i dont need to organize everyday, also my stuff is a bit more worn. He does have a very nice collection of brand name stuff though, my kit is similar.
I love the FastCap 16’ tape measurer. Super durable, has a built in pencil sharpener and little writing pad on the face to jot down quick measurements. Also gives 1/16th measurements on both sides of the tape which has proven much more convenient than I’d even have thought. Great little tool to check out if you’re still interested in trying new tape measures!
Nebo headlight, rechargeable and low cost, last ages, super bright and well made.
If you want a better headlamp, stay away from tool stores and look at flashlight forums. Through extensive research the best ones for the price I found are the Sofirn sp40 and the Wurkkos HD20. The HD20 uses a 21700 while the sp40 uses the 18650 battery. The wurkkos is slightly heavier, more powerful, more bulky, and more versatile, but is also almost twice the price of the Sofirn. Also, the HD20 is actually made by sofirn but they sold the designs to wurkkos for some reason, hence the similarity. 18650 and 21700 batteries are much high performers than standard Alkaline.
Also the HD20 can use 18650 and CR123 batteries if you have the battery sleeve, I believe the HD20 comes with the battery adapters for this purpose
I use pretty much all that you have the issue I have with Milwaukee lights is how fragile they are. They all seem to fail in the same location for me, and that's the clip. right now they are all clipless and missing the magnets that are all so useful. I returned them to the dealer for a warranty replacement took three months to get them replaced then they broke in the same spot a month later. Mind you that I never even used the darned clippers . Just would normal tool bag or pants pocket.. it's a shame..such useful lights particularly the longer one.
My most useful light presently and the surprisingly cheapest one is my rechargeable headlamp from wal-mart it has two lamps on it, the charge lasts me all day sometimes two. it's bright as can be, 400 lumen at least. one lamp is for wide angle and the other for long throw.. combined you get to light up an entire field. It's a fantastic light if you can find it.. so good in fact I own two now.
One tool that you are missing in your review that is beyond useful to me and a life saver is a pick set.. I use a craftsman set about 10 inches long or so. and it has 4 picks one straight one curved at a 90 degree one sort of curved and one with a finger bent shape ,, I use those suckers for just about anything from aligning holes in condenser covers so that I can start screwing in the 1000 bolts it has, to picking out circuitry in a mother board, or even detailing something , like to get grease that's been caked on a screw where you can't even tell there is a screw there.. tons and tons of random uses for those things, highly recommend you get yourself a set.. longer the better..
Another thing I use a lot is a contraption made by Nite-eze gear tie. It's like a chord that's you can shape in any way you want as well as you can use it to tie up your gear.. I've used it to make a phone stand, a flood light hook to hand my floodlight of an odd shaped locations, I've used it as an extra hand to hold something for me as I fix it. and of course to wrap up my gear..
hope this helps you and keep up the good videos
Thanks for the insight brother, I definitely see how the pick set can come in handy.
3:07 I keep a 1x4" scrap strip of soft leather in mine to against protect wench teeth marks on fixtures/fasteners
I strangely yet thoroughly enjoyed this video lol. Making me second guess my duffle bag load out 😆
Lol appreciate it man, every time I watch a video I find myself moving something around
Lufkin or Komelon for measuring tapes
Nice set up!! I'm copying alot of your ideas Sir!! Thanks
Thanks man, and not a problem I’m happy to help!
I have a set of Milwaukee wire strippers and I love them. Definitely recommend. They are more sturdy than others I have used
Made by NWS Germany. I brought the cutters pliers and snipe nose pliers by Milwaukee. Turned out to be exactly the same as my NWS pliers just re-badged. Knipex and Klein all the way.
Franklin stud finder best on the market
Make the switch to the Milwaukee wire stripers they're a little bulkier than normal but I can't recommend them more.
I have a pair of the red handle MKE which I do enjoy, I keep them as a backup.
Check out Chris Notap...his latest video is about best tools. He names a studfinder in it you may find interest in. Nice set up man. Try to make videos of you working
Thanks man, I’ll definitely check him out
You sure that's a laser level at 1:51 ? Looks like the Bosch laser measuring tool to me but I could be wrong.
lol you're correct, I was to lazy to mark the error.
Fenix headlight, never fails
Nothing looks used.... typical...
Sorry if I missed it, but a telescoping magnet and mirror would be good additions.
Nice setup but it doesn’t even look like you use your tools. They all look brand new.
Check out my last eat video and you see why they look new.
Great video
You can set your camera to lock the focus and it will stop hunting. That is a great trick for these types of top-down shots.
You can just TH-cam your specific camera and "AF lock."
Thanks , that’ll help a lot because I’m sure the hunting kills the battery.
Bro I use the same home depot glove holder on my 10 in bag hahaha. Good video! Subscribed
Thanks Brother, they definitely come in handy. I keep one on my jeans also.
I used to keep my bag filled like yours to have a nice setup but it gets heavy. No need for so many lights, just a head lamp and a good flashlight with a stand is great. Milwaukee makes needle nose wire cutters that could do the job that three of yours do. Definitely missing a wonder bar, those small blue pyrbars don't compare. Speed square and vise grips are a must.
I have the Milwaukee rechargeable headlamp. It’s a little bigger than the one you have and that makes it a little heavier than most. But I like it and it has great run time if you keep it on the low setting it’ll go for 2-3 full days. On the highest setting it’ll run for 4 hours only.
Nice video, take care. I’ll keep watching
Petzl rechargeable headlamp is by far my favorite. You can get multiple batteries as well. Worth every penny
I'm gonna agree with the Petzl and also recommend KNOG smaller and rechargeable. (I learned about them with rechargeable bike lights)
the tools or the bag don't look used at all
Bro not even your beating screwdriver has a mark on it, might as well get a sponsorship from Milwaukee fam
Lol that would be nice
Nice setup, looks like you like good tools. You need to add a stabila to your arsenal.
Thanks man, I recently added the pocket mini and feel complete now lol
I'm guessing you like milwaukee. Or the colour red
Lol both, but more so I love MKE tools. My older brother has always used them so they’ve grew accustom to then early.
I stronly recommend the streamlight bandit pro for your headlamp solution. It come with an optional hat clip and regular head band, 3 brightness settings, usb rechargable, and a max life of about 18 hours, had them for a couple years, I love em
Knipex and Milwaukee just work well together
This is true, keep it simple and get what works.
Can't beat O-light for the headlamp.
Stanley fat max is best tape measure
I like to see a video on how you install a TV and all the tools you use. Basically a full tutorial on how to hide wires, secrets etc. Thank you.
Check out my Instagram @handymanbrax
The guys I know all have the toque hat with rechargeable head lamp instead of the head band battery driven flashlight type
Awesome tools man, I’m starting to look into career paths such as yours so I’m trying to see what kind of tools I’ll need and what tools are nice to have, thanks for sharing your ideas 👍
Thanks! It’s definitely an exciting and rewarding career with any side of trades you chose. I’ll continue to play my part and release content to help with your journey.
@@BrandenBraxton thank you so much
Great tool bag. Very organized. Compared to mine. Lol. Best stud finder that never fails is the Franklin ProSensor. Exact. Before, middle and after stud. Don't leave home without it.
Check out any light by olight
Franklin Sensor stud finders are the best and easiest to use if you just want a accurate location without too many other silly functions. There are various iterations but they all are multi LED based. OLFA scissor are smaller and better made than the Milwaukee ones. A tin snip (I don't think you showed one) can cut more than you expect. You may also try a Hilti Installation driver with the 4.0 batteries. You will just eliminate a few unnecessary tools. I find that anytime I actually need an impact, I need to move up to 18V. 12V impact and hammer drills are pinch tools. BTW The batteries on the Milwaukee makes the handle large and fatiguing to used all day. For multitools, Fein is a bit bigger but it will be worth the investment. Finally the new Klein strippers with the plier head is a good compromise if you want to carry a 1/2 lb less. On a larger tools, get a larger Tove (Gransfors Bruks) wrecking bar, it always comes in handy when you need naneuverable leverage.
Best toolbag set up I have seen. Very refined, i own all three Packout bags. Currently using the largest. I wish that had more slots and tighter slots.
Thanks man! Honestly that’s another reason why I switched over to veto for more organizational area.
@@BrandenBraxton Yes, I understand. I used a Klein backpack for a while. I just found I wanted open access to all my tools. The backpack definitely restricts you a bit. Does the veto stay standing up when the doors are open?
Nice set up, looks ready to tackle most jobs. Great presentation as well.
Thanks, it definitely serves as a solid base for most jobs.
Well thought out setup. I really like the Knipex Cobras but you might want to add a 6" plier wrench. Won't mar chrome fittings. Also, I just picked up a Petzl Pixa 8 head lamp and I really like it. In a test, it ran at least 6 hours on high beam (forgot I was running test so didn't see when they ran out after the 6 hrs) on two freshly charged AA enegizer rechargables. The wide beam makes working in the dark really nice since it lights up a wide area. Keep up the helpful vids!
Thanks, I recently added the 6in wrench pliers after this, they made a huge difference.
I’ve tried so many stud finders and always hated them. I tried running a big ass magnet and have been so happy. Never missed a stud or hit anything behind the drywall
Also I run a Stanley 26’/8m power lock tape because I like having metric and but I like my Stanley fat max way better than the Milwaukee. I’ve also tried the crescent and I like that one too
Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely picking up a Stanley during my next THD trip
if you want a better flashlight/headliamp, my personal favourite is the armytek wizard nichia pro, very solid like with great performance. if thats out of your budget, the skillhunt H03 or H04 are great as well, especially if you wait for a sale you can get them as low as $25-30
Great video man. Very high quality and you’re a great public speaker haha. Can’t wait to see what else you put out
Thanks brother, college came in handy for something lmfao. But I definitely have more videos coming soon!
That razor knife IS my pencil sharpener. I also suggest that you may want to upgrade your outlet tester to a klien circuit tracer ($30) it has all the same functions plus it can help you find what breaker feeds the outlet. Love my toolcheck plus... that’s one of the type of tools that I use to keep from carrying my whole bag into a house if I don’t have to. For a head lamp check out black diamond and petzl.
That’ll for sure come in handy with 90% of the houses I work on not having the break properly labeled or labeled at all. Also I’ve been hearing great reviews about petzel!
I’m an aircraft mechanic that happened upon this video. I don’t know how often you run into stripped out screws but I would recommend getting a set of the grabit speedout pro screw exctactor’s. Well worth the money you spend on them.
Thanks, I have a pair which I keep with my others bits. I’ve been using the Ryobi brand, but I’ve had my eye on speedout.
I'm an A&P too but I haven't had much luck with stripped out screw extractors. If you have a stripped out countersunk screw 9 times out of 10 your going to drill it out. For a button head you can slot it and use a flat blade screw driver.
Why all his tools look new?
Get a backlight level they are life-changing. Duracell makes a good head lamp it has one mode that does lights around instead of a beam real handy for close up work got mine at Costco in a 3pack. A 11in1 normal or 6 in one stubby are also really handy
dang to many flashlights
Tools and Clase Azul... what’s not to like...
Lol thanks
I have and enjoy many of the tools you show here.
I'm impressed how clean and undamaged your tools are. Mine are a mess. LOL
I've recently picked up a Milwaukee packout cart and cases and still need to migrate over to it.
Yeah I try my best to keep them in good shape,I clean them after every major job. Especially when dealing with drywall.
Great video man! If I may add 1 suggestion: Buy the pica dry pencil. They are around 10 dollars and can write on almost anything wet or dry. They come in multiple colours and will last a damn long time.
Wow. My apartment maintenance coworker put me on Milwaukee and I’ve been obsessed ever since. He has the same tote bag too
thank u brotha i wish you greatness
Thanks for the video. As for a headlamp recommendation I use a Zebralight and a Fenix. Both use 18650 rechargeable batteries and give you a ton of runtime at a respectable lumen output. It's a must for me.
Outside of store shelves I've never seen so many tools in what appear to be brand new or unused condition. I need to start working in a dust free hermetically sealed environment like this guy.
I know some guys that wipe down their tools often and if he’s doing work in home it’s generally cleaner than commercial/industrial sites.
@@k2silence True enough but in my experience even when working indoors tools show signs of use in relatively short order. I'm not able to say one way or the other but I can tell you this much- You'll find a whole lot more guys who buy tools that they don't actually use than you will guys who use their tools and keep them looking brand new. I'd say the chances are that this dude spends more time shopping for tools than he does actually working with them.
Check out my Instagram to answer those questions lol, simple answer is just to clean your tools. Big Wipes are a great brand. Best of luck.
Hey guys just do what Franky says “just relax”
