As an student who does small jobs for people(hanging lights, painting, faucets etc,) I have a tool chest my dad bought when I was little. I have every thing in there to fix probably most things. Cause when you are at someone's place and you came to do a light fixtures and you are done they may want something else to be done.

As a plumber working for a general maintenance company at the time being I've repurposed my drill bag for my walk in bag. 80% of the time I get good descriptions on my tickets so I already know what I do need and I'll add things I probably won't need but will save a trip to the truck to the bag before I walk in.

I have one main bag that has my every day tools that I use on every job. I have all the same types of tools in it plus a few extras. It is nice to know that my set up is close to yours and having the right tool for the job sitting right next to you. then of course, you have 10x as many tools sitting in the van when needed.

@sparkplug1018 3 года назад

Ive really gotten into the DeWalt Tough system boxes. The smaller size is perfect for the having a box with you when you go to a customers house. You can stack them and lock them, and they have a cart to transport multiple boxes if needed. Come in a bunch of sizes, and they have some organizer units too. Pricey to get into, but they are just awesome for having multiple specialized load outs on hand, and keeping the van organized.

@BrewersYield 3 года назад

@icedink87 3 года назад

Those extra long needle nose pliers are awesome. I just saw them at the store over a year ago and got them mainly because I thought they were hilarious. I stuck them in my toolbox and they sat for a year until I discovered they are badass for getting hard to reach spring style hose clamps on the truck.

@mastersfan04 3 года назад

@foxfiresidechats5227 3 года назад

You are right Any tradesmen worth his salt is always carry’s his bag of primary tools into a job site. The 90% rule matters. The only thing that your bag doesn’t fit are drills! Lol but plumbers don’t really use drills that often so. It’s not a big issue. But for me doing electrical and wood work, I always need my drills.

@Vikingstw 3 года назад

I had to laugh because I use Hammer drill, standard drill, rotor hammer drill and bigger drills for rough in DWV pipes. At least in my experience we use drills all the time.

@robertkurowski9 3 года назад

For that red handle reaching tool I like using oversized hemostats or there something like that. Doesn’t quite have the same grab force but for the weight. I like to play the weight game to. It’s a backpackers thing. Absolutely love your bag it’s awesome! only thing I have different is I have a stethoscope too

I use the BSX Extreme welders gear pack I'm a union pipefitter/welder I keep my weld jacket, leather gloves, extra filter lenses, chipping hammer, slag saw, file, level, striker, channel lockes, tape measure, the pipefitters blue book, and my hood. Everything I need in one convent place it also is nice cause I can just put it in a lift if I need to.

@Vikingstw 3 года назад

I'm gonna keep an eye out for a backpack, I think it would be easier to carry. I got a super sweet Klein tool pouch for a 5 gallon bucket and I do love it. I can carry a lot of tools in it but it is very heavy. I really like your tools and gave me a view ideas for additions that I don't have, namely the angled needle nose type. Out of everything I got and I don't have that. That particular basin wrench also looks really nice.

When i use to do HVAC i had so many tools. But alot of those tools i ended up having when i was a auto tech. But i always carried a decent sized bag when i did jobs. I always made sure i had everything i always needed. And i always kept extra sets of tools for the tools that i used more. Just incase my tool got lost i always knew i had a back up.

Here in the UK we only use British, Scandinavian & German Tools. Monument, Bacho, Knipex, Wera. Quality tools!! Yank tools are not good. I bought a Veto Backpack & hated it, annoying straps & the internal pockets are too small & tight. The Vercity bags are better👍👍 But thanks for sharing mate.

@Mixwell1983 3 года назад

I would add in valve seat wrench and 1/2" compression ferrule puller for compresssion shutoff valves. It has saved my ass doing my own home repairs multiple times. That back pack is pretty sweet, I usually use a cheap 12" large mouth canvas bag by Husky and I have a harbor freight one. Always keep my drill/impact and general purpose in 1 bag and the other is one i load up according to what type of job I am doing from plumbing to building a wooden gate etc...

@willernst8376 3 года назад

I like how people think if your tools look good you don't use them. No!! That just means you don't know how to clean, oil, and take care of your tools. Also just keeping tools seperate, not clanging around in a lose bag, keeps wear to a minimum. It is amazing how much wear and rust comes from improper storage of tools.

@crypto118 3 года назад

Exactly. I'm not a tradesman, but I use my tools a lot. But I take care of them because they are an investment, so they look new.

@tylernewsome217 3 года назад

@austinpatrick2682 3 года назад

I use a milwaukee packout back pack for all my electrical tools with a smaller "belt-able" pouch I store inside it and grab first that holds the most used tools. But for plumbing I'm currently using the milwaukee packout toolbox. If you didn't already figure it out I'm completely invested in the packout system. I think VETO makes better bags hands down but what I have does the job. As for the tools I carry, more than you carry, too much to be fair but it saves a lot of trips to the van. If I ever decide what I do is interesting enough to make videos about I'll do a tool tour too.

I find your videos very interesting and entertaining even though I'm not a plumber. The cold water line under the sink in my smaller bathroom broke in the middle of the night. I don't have much money to hire a plumber so I went to Lowe's and bought a pvc cap to put on it. My wife and I don't use that bathroom anyway so I just eliminated the water from that part of the trailer. Do you have any advice for us?

@geezerscouter 3 года назад

You have convinced me to switch from an open bag to an organized backpack. But as neat as the Pro Tech backpacks are, I can't drop that much money. I am a "Facility Support Technician" and it isn't a tax write-off for me. I'm tempted to submit a budget request for one just to mess with my boss.

I am never satisfied with a tool carrying system, I’ve done them all, I liked the backpack thing for awhile but I ended up stuffing it with too much stuff. I went through three Klein backpacks and kept breaking the zippers, then I went to a CLC and that was great but it held sooo much stuff i could barely carry it. Now i just have an open top hard bottom Klein bag and its working out pretty good but may be time to move on to something else.
