This is such an awesome video Jeff!! I actually am planning to do something similar and organize all my tools into different bags by trade. Do you think you can do a video showing yours, would love to see what tools you recommend as I’m just starting to build my sets!!!

My earliest memories are of my Grandfather coming home from work and cleaning his tools everyday. I would sit and watch him and we would talk, then when his tools were all clean and sharp and ready for the next day’s work, we would wash-up and go in the house for dinner. So growing up with someone who took great pride in his tools and his work, I always notice someone’s tools. If they’re dirty, rusty, dull, etc, I don’t respect him. So for those who say Jeff’s tools are too clean, I say maybe they ought to take a look at their own tools and the image they are projecting.

imagine cleaning your tools everyday, he must not have been very busy!

I am strictly Commercial/Industrial and a Foreman but I also do a lot of hands on work with certain projects, mostly critical typpe work and outdated equipment. On most jobs though I bring one of my personal gangboxes for all my tools and then load up according to what I am doing. I have everything from Loppers to cut copper up to 800 kcmil to full set of Terminators (small control screwdrivers. I keep an underground tracer, circuit chaser, Low Volt strippers, crow bars (Small and large) 4' level, 2' level, Plumb laser and a cross level laser, and a ton more of stuff. I also have several different toolbelt rigs for anything from control work to working on big gear like SES' and a variety of aprons also for a variety of jobs. Also the Klein version of this DeWalt open bag, a bag with a zipper for CEWA (Critical Electrical Work Authorization) jobs and a 12v cordless drill and impact, two cordless 18v drills and two Impacts. But for a general install I would add add a few things... 1. Tap/Drill set... great for taping an existing hole, sizing up a hole or making one without needing a pilot hole. 2. Eagle Beaks... The small cable cutters for cutting up to #2 copper and they're good for cutting MC cable. 3. Gripper screwdriver... for putting in screws in tight spaces where your fingers can't go. 4. Hole saws.... typical hole saw kit, various Uni-bits and a small knock-out set. 5. Driver tips... 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2" 6. Socket tips... 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" drives so you can use sockets on your impact drill. 7. Sockets... same sizes as the driver tips but also with 9/16", 5/8" and 3/4" sockets... deep and shallow 8. Headlight... for hands free light. 9. Punch... one of those adjustable impact punches for marking holes and giving you a point for drilling without travel. 10. Tips and extensions... SQ2 and SQ3, Philips, Torx and a variety of extensions for them. 11. Wrenches... same sizes as sockets with ratcheting box ends 12. Vise grips and Vise clamps... Small C clamp vise grips come in handy a lot. 13. Waterpump pliers... 14. Notepad/book... cuz I am old and forget shit 3 seconds later. I also have a pair of Gripple cutters for cutting aircraft cable. Aircraft cable will ruin linesman pliers plus Gripple cutters will leave a cleaner end if you have to put it through a keeper/connector. Allen set for my ratchet and drill, T-handles and a small and large combo set. Hickey heads for 1/2", 3/4", 1". A Maxis lay-out template and way too much more to name... (He's says now) But I have been a Sparky for 51 years and have accumulated four gang boxes of tools. When I finally retire at the end of 2020 I am giving everything to the apprentice with the most ambition to be a good Electrician and has the right attitude (being a Craftsman).. got two in the running at the moment. What I don't have in my bags is material and parts... if I need them I use one of my material carts... depending on the environment. I have one small cart that I keep pristine, even cover the wheels because I only use it in clean room situations. Then I have two large ones and other small one.

Thanks for the video. This is not a hater comment. I'm going to guess that you haven't worked through any type of apprenticeship.. You had an electrical background, and turned that into an electrician's career. There is nothing wrong with that, I did mostly the same. I spent several years programming PLCs and doing control work, but the past 18 years doing construction and repair. my tool pouch is quite the opposite as I am very much a minimalist. It may have 6 to 8 tools in it only. However, I have a custom utility truck and enclosed trailer that has all the tools I could need parked just outside at the job-site. In it there is everything from mechanics tools, manual and hydraulic pipe benders, hydraulic knockouts, hot boxes, Power tools, and all sorts of meters and test equipment. Don't mind the negative comments. Ask one of the average electricians to write a simple paragraph explaining what electricity is, and they would mostly be lost. But, they can read a print and bend pipe and pull cable according to it. Keep making your living repairing the crap work left behind by everyone else.

What do you think about an electrician tool backpack? It can be closed so that we don't lose the tool, and when we open it, we see everything we need. I'm thinking of buying either an open bag like this or a backpack because I can put the backpack on my back and carry a tool case in my hands?

The radio shack strippers, if you were working with more stranded wire I'd keep them on, I get the impression you're not though. Doing residential work, you really over spent on the meter. Stick with Fluke, but you'll never be doing anything above 600 volt. In your world if it handles 240 and ohms out, your set. Take that tick tester and after you use it replace the batts every time. Seriously. Get an ideal wiggy or a Knopp wiggy. That will NEVER let you down. Never use anything to mechanically twist on wire nuts, you'll figure that one out the day you do service work.

@@jeffostroff our outlets look completely different (all plastic, single moulded item) no such thing as wire nuts (wago or BP connector) everyone uses impact drivers (usually 18v). The naming is different for a lot of things (gfci is called RCD residual current device.. and protects every outlet no matter where in the house. And from what I know, colours and voltages are different too.. we use 240v per phase and 415 three phase everywhere (commercial, industrial and domestic) , some older houses have 2 phase too..

Sounds awfully like Charlie Sheen .......good video btw

jeffostroff yeh they do thats what ive been using, you just use those wire cutters its got on it. Pit a sort of loose grip when you clamp down on the wire and then pull, its not that hard tbh it just needs time to get used to but it sure as hell if more convenient once you have the hang of it

If you wanna try to tell me that a $500 Fluke digital multi meter is not used for electrical work then you're nuts. The problem with the construction business is there's too many arrogant electrical people and arrogant plumbers and while everybody is sitting up there on their high horse I'm the one that always comes in and has to clean up their mess that they Left behind and sloppy and illegal work that violates building codes. Who the heck cares who has what in their bag if they know how to do the job fine.
