Electrician tool load out
I work for a smaller company of about 40 people in Denver Colorado. we do mostly commercial, multi family, and custom residential housing
I did a video about the tools I use about a year ago, and since so much had changed I figured I should do another one.
the only tools not shown are my EMT bender‘s
and FYI the blue thing in my backpack is a scratch awl :)

I am a second-year apprentice out of Colorado and these are the tools I carry with me to the job site every day. I just want this video to be too long so I didn’t go into a lot of detail on each tool, but I plan on making more videos highlighting a group of tools or individual ones in the future Boulder bags - belt Bother bags - suspenders Boulder bags - ultimate electrician material pouch Boul...

    That specific Wera rapidaptor bit holder isn’t actually impact rated. Not saying it’s going to explode if you put it in an impact, I’ve seen plenty other guys on YT use one in an impact, I just don’t know how long it’d last.

    Just watched the last video, notice you switched to the same hammer I use too. I was going to suggest that except they're old videos. Now I'm looking for those meters! EDIT - There it is! It's a less expensive meter, but I've never heard anything bad about it. It'll do more or less anything you need a meter to do. I have a T5 in my bag, used to keep a T+ Pro in there. Pros and cons to each - but they're both small enough to stuff in the bag, and gets the vast majority of what I need done. Every now and then I have to go back to the truck for "more meter" but none of the others fit in the bag well. I want an update, especially test equipment! Klein has an inexpensive insulation tester that I've heard good things about. Beats paying 600 bucks for a Fluke. Wire tracers are good to have, but they're hiiiiighhhh dolla! I haven't found one under close to a grand without a clamp, a little over a grand with one. A less expensive alternative is a toner and probe - Fluke Pro 3000 or 3000 Pro or something? You're not finding underground wires, and its sometimes hard buried in walls - but they do work. Cheap ones suck though, and you have to ... not use them like some guys use them for best results.

    I don't think I've ever seen a 2nd year apprentice anywhere near this equipped. I know journeymen that aren't near this well kitted out. The only thing I don't see is a meter, which is pretty shocking! Its an old video, I'm sure you're no longer an apprentice, and probably have more than one meter, and judging by the rest of the kit they're probably top notch. Good show my man! Those Klein J2000 - most people don't spend the extra few bucks and get the regular Kleins / dykes. I'm sure you know, but for other peoples benefit - J is the Journeyman style handle - 2000 is the better grade induction hardened steel for cutting tools. I have that exact pair of Kleins. Not particularly fond of the J handles, but they don't make the 2000's with the crimper and that kind of tape puller with the D handle. 2000 series is worth every bit extra IMHO. Whenever I wear these thick handles out, I'm gonna replace with the D style glow in the dark ones.

Still a mess for finish. Mostly because my companies version of finish plumbing still includes rough in type work. Very frustrating. I duplicating things just make my set up more efficient. Expensive but the functionality of it is undeniable. I also climb trees. No pack out for that yet!! 😆
