I had to go out and buy a a complete set of tools that would fit in a tool bag for my new maintenance mechanic job. These tools were purchased with the company card so I had to stay local.
Looks like you have some lower priced tools where they'll suffice and some good quality tools where needed. That's the way everyone should shop for tools, instead of being blind to new and different stuff and sticking with a single brand. Great video, thanks!
If the guys scavenge tools when the guys leave, I would suggest getting a storage locker for that bag. Always keep your tools safe, they pay the bills.
I used to see all the maintenance guys in the plants carry around the SK (saltus) or flex head socket wrenches. Of course that was before the new style ratcheting wrenches came out. Looks like you're set up fairly well for battle, nice bag-o-tools.
Good set of tools man. Lot of weight to lug around though. I do this kind of work too. We climb. Silos. Cat walks. Lots of ladders so we tend to haul our stuff up in bucket caddies specific to whatever job we're doing. On the ground we carry backpacks
I'm doing this too, got about the same stuff.. started a new job where they all share one tool box. I said nope..... I can't do that lol. Went to harbor freight and dumped $100 on a set and a bag. It's a company that fills and packages cans of automotive refrigerant, and some larger tanks. Industrial maintenance type stuff. I feel your pain lol
Been there. Dudes tend to "forget" tools in their pockets and take them home only to "forget" to bring them back everyday. I have my own tool box I keep in my truck and love how easy work is. I don't care if the other guys think I'm being an asshole.
I'd trust a Klein meter any day...#1 name in electrical work for the last 100 years. Yeah... Fluke is the best but nowadays everyone is on a budget. I'm thinking about getting a Klein meter myself😁
Get yourself a $5 Home Depot Bucket and, their $8 Bucket Caddy. I did and, I love it. You can fit a lot of tools in it too. It may be easier than digging through a bag. Just a thought.
Hello sir fine post and good luck with the new job. I have the xbeam wrenches I like them alot, I bought a small set 5pc from Napa for 15. Bucks that's 3.dollars a wrench
Great video, add this one to your list. Have you ever seen the A-SURE OUT extractor? It can be removed in seconds if it breaks, no Welding EDM or DRILLING. After seeing it, only a fool would use anything else! All materials and labor made in the USA! For over 100 years the bolt extractor has changed in many ways, however the failure of a bolt extractor seems to have been carelessly overlooked leaving all users the possibility of catastrophic failure. Help support an American company. Thank you.
Great question man, I've been thinking about that lately myself. After using those Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches a couple weeks now I'm going to do a review and share my thoughts on them. Stay tuned!
The only tools that were replaced since I purchased and put them to work are the Milwaukee diagonal cutters (poor performance) and the Klein DMM (it stopped working). I replaced the M cutters with a pair by Knipex cutters (I highly recommend) and the Klein DMM with a Fluke. Other than that, I still have and use all the tools you see in the video and would recommend all of them.
i started and still use alot of hf tools.since then i have much better quality power tools.hand tools really arent as important imo as far as buying milwakee kobalt or dewalt power tools
