What's in my toolbag 2022? - Essential Electricians Tools 

Yes

Really? Even using insulated tools to beat things with? Lol noob

You have been in a game for 30 years and you are looking for advice from under 30 year old kid. Interesting. I have been in electrical and air conditioning game for 40 years and I would have quite a lot advice to give to this kid.

​@@BobanMisevic cheap mindset

@@BobanMisevicyears doesn’t equal knowledge

When I showed some other worker it they thought it was gimmicky and couldn't figure out the adjustments but also said I had an advantage over other workers while using it

Kewtecknik blade runner is better smaller lighter and has a roller on it so smother rotation

I use a sacs tool is miles better than the armour slice

have you thought about a tool vest? i use the snickers 4250 and i find it much better because the loadout is spread around the body rather than all being weighted on the hips.

Take a look at the Velocity Progear range of tool bags, they have a variety of designs by a heating engineer to hold soldering kits, analysers, general tools etc. There’s something for us all. I have the 2.0, it’s a small shoulder bag ( mines the orange version which I wondered could I keep it clean, and the answer is yes, easily ) which is the small one of the range. As a mobile engineer ( employed as a combustion engineer) I cover a wide range of breakdowns ( boilers, heating, plumbing, electrical ) and it’s filled with tools that I use regularly. I have other dedicated boxes but my bag is a first response general kit which will suffice for 90% of my jobs.

@@marklucas2548 I've seen the helmet he posted a link in the description to it on amazon

Buy quality, buy slowly and look after your purchases because your life could depend on it. I went the Klein route, I have the insulated version of the ones shown at 13:00, the set of 5 at the time cost me £230 with lifetime warranty of which I’ve replaced a few for free already. Get a quality bag/box to look after them, dedicated pockets tend to show if something is missing, tools thrown into an open style box are easy to lose. Get a torque set of screwdrivers, I don’t see enough electricians owning a set and they should be using them now. I have the Armeg ones, Wiha have a good set too, as a maintenance engineer ( albeit a mechanical one ) I come across loose connections all the time when fault finding. Protect your eyes, hands, feet and knees, don’t lift anything heavy, get help, plenty of worn out sparks/plumbers by the time they hit 50. I’ve always protected my knees but mine are shot and I’m waiting for an operation right now - I’ve been off work all year with no money earned at all 😞 I wish someone had taken me aside as an apprentice and told me what I know now, before you know it you’ll be my age too.

Absolutely, your life could depend on it.

Europe requires all tools be insulated

@@residualelectrical come on brother! thats not a fair analogy lol. a fairer one would be why have airbags when the car never leaves the garage lol

@@residualelectrical I have also everything in my car I just don’t carry everything

Better to have them and not need them, rather than need them and not have them…………………

Millimeters, stuffing gland (type of cable entry) and I don't know what else to call trunking. It's kinda like square conduit with a lid that runs along the length of it. I'm sure I've heard an American call it something else but can't remember what it was. Greets from the east of the big pond ✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@anne_frank_ ahh, trunking sounds like it would be a trough. Thanks for the info!

We keep them in the 'trunk' and shuffle them each time we stop for 'gas'. While eating 'Vytamins on the 'sidewalk' .
