 Hey guys, it's me and back. So today what I thought I would do is show you what I got my tool bags here And so I might be kind of jumping around a little bit This one Actually be a bit on the longer side because there's some tools in here that I think are gonna take some time to explain Cuz I got my tool bag and everything. So first and foremost, let me just Bring some attention to you if you look on this page I just want to call your attention to the learn more button if you hit that learn more button in on the Facebook page If you're watching this on YouTube head on over to the Electric Academy Facebook page You see at the top there on the picture There's something about a download or free resource for online resources for electricians Definitely check that out being tons of downloads on that lately So and I've been actually getting quite a lot of feedback on it So please download it check it out and if there's something you think I should add to it I would love to hear from you guys. So if you could do that, that would be great Now let's get on to this here. Let's take a look. So first off Let me just get this down here this bag right here. I just bought this bag and it is one of the best things I bought It's a rolling bag. It's like a suitcase a rolling suitcase It's got a telescopic arm so I can just drag it along there. It cost me I think 200 bucks at Home Depot. It's a husky brat I know Klein makes a version of this as well, but and I love Klein, but you'd pay a lot for the name So let's keep that in check. So you can fit a lot in this thing Let me show you what I keep in this. So first and foremost, I got my little bag of tricks my tickle trunk as I call it It's got my Lumex connectors Annie shorts 832 632's all that fun stuff some wood screws So I got that there all these side pockets still haven't found a home for whatever goes in there Let's take a look inside there now in there. I have got my tool bag So I just toss that in there and I can roll it in outside to whatever jobs I'm going to I also have my cordless drill Which sadly is starting to go. I've got the 18 volt XRP I'm looking at possibly Going Milwaukee on my next one because these batteries are freaking huge. Take a look at that thing. It's gigantic So anyways, the Chuck's starting to slip a little bit on this. It's done me. Well, I've had it for like 12 years So anyways, there's that and in here. I also keep the charger Let's get that out of there The battery that goes with that my extra battery drill index Some spade bits What else I got I got my gloves. I always got to have those gloves around I've got an assortment of full-sauce. I do a lot of Renault work So I've got to keep this all off Going like this. I got all these full-sauce for different size potlates So you guys know what I'm talking about. You guys should do home Renault's auger bit. That's a must-have Another drywall saw Cat's claw you definitely don't want to have that that comes in handy I used this yesterday just to take a mirror off somebody glued a mirror to a bathroom wall and I had to change that out And then I just got some more whole slots. Also whole slot, whole slot, whole saw. I got my Allen keys Another pair of pump pliers or channel locks another pair of strippers My hook knife if you watched the video from a couple days ago what knife you're using I do have my hook knife here I've got my adjustable wrench. Let's call it a crescent wrench and Then I have some extra blades for my Olfa So that's what's in this rolling tool bag, which is amazing then I also keep let's push it out of the way I Know if some of you guys love this bag I keep this bag with me at all times too because in this bag. I've got all my meters. I use a Fluke 87 3 multimeter and I'm gonna do a video on multimeters in a couple days So I've got that I use this one all the time as well. It's my clamp on Fluke 3037. I like to have two multimeters around just in case one gets starts giving me funky readings And I can back it up the thing with these guys is when you have when the battery starts going on them They start giving you weird readings at one house. I was reading what I was expected to be 240 was at 287 on this meter So I use this meter just to double-check that and actually had 238 And I found out that the battery in this one was starting to go so you've got to watch over that again That would be my meter talking sometime. I love this meter though the clamp on features great Then I also have yeah the stud finder. So you want to make sure you got one of those around I have my old stud finder. I've had for years. So the old Zircon Keep that on that side. So that's my meter side Then on this other side I've got my fish tape hacksaw Obviously I'm gonna want a torpedo level my hammer. I've got an extra tape measure because These freaking things go missing all the time some cable cutters My beater hammer you can tell it's my beater screwdriver right there my number three Which is a number three Robbie head And then again a pair of pump pliers or channel ops So that basically covers what's in both bags. Let me get this out of the way I'm not going to put it all away for you right now I'll do that on my own. Let's talk about what's in my tool bag I get this question a lot for my students. I teach and I make sure that I want my kids kids My students to know what's in this tool bag So what I find essential so every time I go to this thing comes with me sometimes that guy says in the car Or the van the other bag stays in the car of the van. This is the first thing that comes out with me So first things first, I got my tape measure What tape measure are you guys using if you can make a comment down below that'd be awesome If you're liking this video, you know, it doesn't hurt to like this Or give me the old thumbs up. So I would use a Lufkin and honestly, I'm not too impressed with these guys the rigidity of it Kind of sucks. Like when I go for long distances It breaks pretty. Oh, no, no, it's not going to do it Brings pretty easy So I'm not a big fan of this Lufkin. If you guys have something that works better than this Lufkin, let me know Okay, what I do love are these ergonomic ideal strippers They are frigging fantastic So I definitely love them. I love the way that they've got the the hoop there I've gotten used to using these they go from what is it 16 to number eight So again, highly recommend using these guys I've got my side cutters And again, these are clients. I'm a big client fan I highly recommend spending lots not lots but spending good money and tools these clients. I've had from Since 1996, I believe So they last as long as you take care of them and they've been sitting out in rain and all that fun stuff All you do is you throw some wd-40 and it gets rid of Then we have back to the knife. I keep my awful knife in my bag I use should have that put away because my kids get into this sometimes Um, again, very dangerous very sharp, but I highly it's my knife of choice Then I got a pair of channel locks that I keep with me Then in my bag. Well, this one actually should go back into here. These are my um crimpers I was doing some motors recently. So I had to crimp some stake-ons. So that's why those are there. Let's take those out of there Then I've got My lion's been again client and I know there's the new journeyman series and all that But again, these are pair that I have had for I'm 21 years now. So yeah, they last a long time and they've seen some Work that you can see the side of them there at sea. They're all nicked up I've used it as the old electricians hammer all that fun stuff. So They're awesome I always carry a crescent wrench with me and again, hopefully look at that climb tools So this is not a client ad by the way, but definitely want to have the crescent wrench. Let me lay this stuff out Then I carry Some of you guys call it a voltage pen tick tester Again, I wouldn't use this to save my life, but it does tell me that there's a voltage present. So there's that Then I've got my, you know, I've got a flathead screwdriver I got this teeny phillips head screwdriver. Sometimes I need it. I don't use it often, but I keep in my bag for what I do I've got another flathead screwdriver. This one I use basically for um Like cover plates and that sort of stuff and we'll talk about cover plates. I got a good rant on that I hate the way people put the screws in sometimes when and maybe it's just my ocd I don't know if you guys Freak out when you see this but when you see a screw going this way And then the other screw on the bottom going that way or if they're kind of going cockeyed I either go straight up or straight this way now. I'm a guy that goes straight up and down I don't know where you guys sit. Let me know if you guys are straight up or down or or a side one Let me know Phillips, obviously Oh the old needle nose He's uh, these ones have good story on the inside of them Is my name? Well, it's not my name. It's chud flying. I work for this with this guy named alec power He is probably like 10 years younger than me, but he was like 40 years older than me. He felt like we called him poppy power alec if you're watching this You know what i'm talking about He used to call me chud flying. My name is chad flin. So he got a hold of my Needle nose probably about 20. Well, no 15 years ago and wrote the name chud flying on the inside I got some stories about him. I got my number one Uh robbie for you americans. I'm not sure if you guys use robbertson that much we do up here in canada because it's awesome So number one robbie my number two robbie, which is probably one of the most useful ones i've got Then i've got another flathead I already showed you those another This one's actually a master craft, which is canadian tire crap But it's kind of a beater and then i've got this little control screwdriver for when i'm doing controls And that's what is in my tool bag the essentials that is in my tool bag So if you guys think i'm missing anything, let me know and maybe add a comment to the bottom here And basically whenever I show up to the job, these are the three bags i'm bringing And especially this bag and if this bag here is talking about your tool pouch your hip pouch This thing i've had forever now they make some awesome awesome new ones now The problem with this one now is that first off Well, don't forget about this the pencil. I make sure I bring a mechanical pencil with me Um, I know there's the carpenter's pencil and stuff, but sometimes you want to make a really Small small side. Oh, I've got thanks dave, but I do have the the meter in the volt ticker Yeah, I got the volt tester right here, buddy, and I've got my meters Again, I use the fluke 87 three was my big one. What are you guys using for meters these days? I'd love to know And is this bag It's got more sentimental value than anything to me. It does not ergonomically correct. It hurts your back if you're sitting there Forever on it. So I don't usually use it a lot But honestly, are we care are we putting these on our hip and working all day? I'm not very often Usually we're carting around a bag a lot of guys are using like this bag to carry their hand tools in So that's it. I don't want to go on too long on this. I just thought I would give you guys a A little idea as to what is going on in my toolbox So again three bags this roller bag. I cannot rave about it enough It is it's changed my life I used to have a couple bins that I carried around with me And it was a pain in the ass Now I can just pop this thing on the ground roll it wherever I need to go and that's what is going on All right, I just wanted to let you guys see what's in my life as far as tools are concerned Always add in the more I've got a whole garage full of other tools You know socket sets wrench that's allen key sets A nut drivers all that fun stuff. I've got Neil garage there. Maybe one day I'll take you into the garage.
