Did anyone notice that he doesn’t even have the electrician’s common tool which is a 9 inch linesmen pliers. It don’t matter it’s residential, industrial, or commercial everyone should have a good pair. I’m a carded journeyman and I think that’s the number one tool should have.

I’ve never heard a box end wrench called a dog bone, I like that lol. I’m gonna use that.

The color in this vid is on point!

Nice to see tools that actually looks like they been used.

Great video, i like that bag as well. I am an electrical apprentice, seeing the different bag and tools gives me an idea of what will work out for me. I currently have a klein tool pro backpack. However i am a fan of smaller bags with great capacity.

nice video!! makes me want to do a video of tools i use as a controls electrician!

I'm really intrigued by that tool bag . I must check into that.

As an apprentice who does mainly service, into any job ill take my basic belt with pliers, cutters, long nose, screwdrivers, automatic strippers for if i cant be bothered using my sidecutters, a level, and a knife, plus my impact driver. If i need other stuff ill take whatever i need, but since i have a van i have tons of extra stuff just outside

VETO PRO PACK fan, and fan of those everlasting Klein model screwdrivers, I've had mine my whole working life, and every time one breaks they replace it, I paid a lot for them at first, but they have a lifetime guarantee. Only thing is hard to see in the veto pro pack cos the handles are black... need a head torch on to see them sometimes.

Never knew about the dog bone wrenches. Thanks for the video!

Get to the bag! No talking! 💪🏼💪🏼

I'm currently working for a master electrician/general contractor. The goal is to become an apprentice and become licensed. So I love seeing what guys have in their pouches and bags. Do you have a tool belt that you wear to get stuff done or do you simply work out of the bag all day?

That red handled screwdriver is also known as a Monday Morning! Lol

I like the conduit spacer

I do insustrial electrical work as well i would suggest some ratcheting cable cutters i have both the klein and southwire ones the southwires are about $50 cheaper and i highly recommend them at $150 they are a work horse u can get it at your local lowes

Greenlee are my favorite I think right now. I've tried Ideals aswell.

Tool boxes are more durable than tool bags but tool bags are way more comfortable to take tools out and put them back in.Bags dont take much of a beating. Usually you need only classic pliers(lineman pliers),side cutters- preferably for steel wire and screwdrivers ph2 and 06x0,35. Insulating tape,multimeter(with clamps to measure amperage) and a diy test lamp... and ofc. A nice hammer :) I very rarely use channel locks .. or so called pump pliers.. I am from Eastern Europe :) Ps. Noone uses wire stripers here instead everyone is using cheap razor knives( utility knives, those used for opening cardboard boxes) or simply using the side cutters to remove the insulation...

"oh my god, he doesn't carry a hammer everywhere?" ... I thought that was funny because I also don't carry a hammer around in my bag unless I'm stapling wire or something. But it really does surprise me to not see a pair of side cutters or needle nose. i can even see an industrial electrician not really needing side cutters as much, but not having needle nose is pretty surprising. Also, thanks for saving me 30 bucks on that Klein nut driver. Blows my mind they include a 32n'd size but not 1/2" ... size skipping drives me nuts, but skipping the most common size while including oddballs is inexcuseable.

Only appreciate electrician love showing off there tools 🤔

Good video

Don't just eyeball something straight to check your level. Put it on something that is without a doubt level and make sure it reads level - then turn it the other direction and see if its still reading level. If not, it's out.

Hohmies Mcfly I have found that I rarely have to use my pliers (and hammer) having previously assumed that they were an essential part of my toolkit. I still carry them but only use them for occasionally bending cable ends over or extracting stripped screws. At 30 years man and boy, my trusty pliers are the oldest surviving tool in my box having avoided theft, breakages, burglaries and my own carelessness (usually me leaving things above ceilings/under floors) The cutting edge however has seen more than it's fair share of live cables and it now quite a wrestle to get it to cut any smaller cables.
