Good stuff for a first or second year but there is a lot to be said about a person's quality in there profession and how it translates to the quality of tools that they are willing to invest also the way they care for them.
Awesome vid man, honestly don’t know what all the negativity with the “cheap” tools is about. You buy what you want as long as it serves you well. Heck I love me some quality tools, regardless of what brand they are! Some of the “cheap” tools you can buy are really quite bad but others are great and can be just as good as name brands.
I personally know a lot of professionals who've done a lot of work with lower cost tools and they swear by them. I always buy the best I can afford...for my personal tools. I see a lot of criticism from people who also like to spend more on higher end brands. It all depends on the type of work you do and what your budget is.
6:02 When I have bought a tool bag with a bright logo, I alway's painted it with a black sharpie because if you have a nice tools out in the open, not only do people ask to use your tools but it's like a target that attracts thief's on huge job site's.
As a electrican I think we. Carry more tools then anyother trade. I have like bags and bags of tool. Not including pipe benders, stud punchers and low voltage tool plus program tool for burg and fire alarm.. tools tools . Saw, drill , inpact drill, hammer drill, pvc heat blanket exc. I think electrican carry more tools then any other trade.
I went to a trade school for Electrical and have been working in the field for the past 9 months. I'm in New York and make shit money for the school I went too/9 months. I was wondering how many years of experience you have/did you go to school? I'm 19 turning 20 in soon.. Is this field worth staying in?
its an excellent field if you get into the right settings and can make very good money. personally going to a trade school might have been the wrong way to get started. while you do gain knowledge of electricity, the credits you get most likely will not be recognized by a state or local jurisdiction when you want to take the Journeyman test. they typically only accept recognized apprenticeships such as the ABC, IEC or NECA. I would highly recommend contacting your local IBEW union about joining. if youve only been in 9 months youre just barely getting started. you could go through the IBEW apprenticeship, earning a pay raise every 6 months or so, in addition to benefits you would not get working for a non-union company, such as pensions, and employer paid insurance. also once graduating and becoming a journeyman, you have alot of control over your career. you can travel the country from local union to local union working on a great variety of projects you would most likely not work on non-union such as steel mills, and factories. while the pay scale will vary from local to local it can range anywhere from the mid $20s per hr to well into the mid $40s per hour, whereas non-union will pay significantly less and have fewer benefits, some of which you have to pay for yourself. ive worked in the field for 20 yrs, my first 8 were non-union and i can speak with experience about both sides of the fence. id be happy to answer any other questions you may have
I have a question for you, its 11 months later though haha, so how would I go about the path, It seems like a genuinely interesting and fulfilling path, so as someone who wants to be an apprentice, what should I expect, say I get in with ibew whats my chances of having steady work and learning? Should I call in and go in or should I just show my face to the office, should I start buying tools now to bring or not? and just some general advice would be appreciated too
Jst found ur vids & subbed on that husky box is that clear top compartment pretty tough! I keep my screws, rawlplugs etc in those compartments but they usually get cracked or broken cus of somebody using it as a step up
that Husky socket set us sweet. i have the same one. can not be beat for the price. mine is at least 6 years old. if you dont use it a lot why soend more.
people don't waste money on all these tools. buy a m12 hammer drill impact and bandsaw, a 6 in 1 screwdriver bit for the drill, a small socket set with a drill adapter, knipex 10 inch channel locks, knipex pliers and dykes, a knife a pair of strippers fat max tape measure with magnetic end and level. that's all you need when working for a company. I haven't bought a screwdriver or nut driver in years. I use 1 big flat head to beat on and use my drill with a dewalt 6 in 1 bit for everything including working on panels.

Take your husky ratchet back to home depot and warranty it out. They will give you a new one for free. Husky is warranted forever.
