Thanks for video, nice to see different approaches of organizing the tools. I am electrician, installer, Sweden. I haven't yet figured out the optimal way. For now my go to, and the only one tool box is the RAACO COMPACT 47. It's an amazing box, will drawer boxes for the screws etc. It works as a work bench to cut smth, and one can sit or stay on it. All my hand tools are in this box . The small things, such a pencils, non-contact probe are in the trousers pockets. The most common way to organize work in Sweden is the way when one brings all once tools on the place (tote, bag, box, depends on taste). And then one puts the tools one needs in the pockets of once trousers. I mean pockets which are kind of extra hanging pockets in addition to the standard once. Now I am considering about to test pouches. Because of trousers often becomes too heavy getting damaged from the sharp tools. And I want to separate tools a bit in different bags (maybe backpack + pouches) because my RAACO box Is too heavy.
Haven’t had an issue. I work with a lot of solar so they’ve definitely been put through their paces. Can try any combination of tool set ups you like. I like the journeyman pouch for carrying most things (including m12 driver) and the small electrician pouch for small jobs.
Over the shoulder Milwaukee electrician pouch, keep my meter in the front pocket, use the Milwaukee Magnetic Flood light aswell as the Milwaukee rechargeable head lamp
Use the same two pouches. Mp1 on my hip when running calls and the 3 for installation work. Keep the weight down on hip by using combination tools and 3 get all my insulated tools.
I’m a plumber/gas tech I carry a veto tech mct because I need a lot of handtools and different types of meters at every job. It’s actually a bit too small but I really don’t want to tote around a tech LC even though I’d love owning one
That’s the hardest part. Choosing the amount of tools and how to carry them. I always overload my bags. Then they get to heavy. I’ve just moved to a Milwaukee tote to see if I like using a tote. It’s been great so far.
Im an Apprentice Sparky and just ordered the same pouch because of you mate! Awesome set up and just subscribed to your channel, love your videos mate!
Hey John! You’ll seriously love it. You’ll also have it for along time which is always good to know. What year apprentice are you and where are you located?
As someone who works in the plumbing industry here in new Zealand. I still haven't found a decent tool bag geared towards plumbing e.g. to be able to fit the crimpers, pliers, pipe saw etc...
@@AddictedtoTools right now the mp1 redoing mc4 solar connectors. I also have the mp3 and mp5b. But normally a personalized occidental leather belt. I did a video on it if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/RPJtoVlg4V8/видео.html
Try the buckaroo belts, they are great and you can get suspenders for them. I run one with a milwaukee sparkys pouch and a buckaroo 3 pocket pouch. I dont know how I survived without it!.
Thanks mate. I have seen the Lenox folding knives. They look great. I bought a cheaper folding knife awhile ago. Wasn’t a fan, but the Lenox blade would be better I’m sure.
Thanks for the tip of the shoulder strap. Always didnt like tool belts cos I end up putting to much in them and they end up pulling your pants down. I have gone over to a tool bag, But might try the combo of a tool bag and a tool belt on a shoulder strap. Problem with a tool bag is you start yo yo ing when you are on a ladder. Also if you stuff to much in your tool belt when you take tools out you can drop others. I have found storing your pliers handles down helps this and is faster once you are use to it.
I have this bag and from watching your video I didn’t know you can fit all that in there😁 I guess I have to just play with it I use this bag for running low voltage wires Or for finish work It’s too small for my everyday work I have a gator back full pouch with suspenders
FYI Milwaukee and a Klein both have Sheetrock saws that fold now. They’re awesome and you change the blade to whatever you like. Look that up you won’t need that sleeve anymore over your blade.
It's good if you get it for $50 or so, its not worth full price though. The pockets are too deep and not enough of them. The bag never stands on it own, always need to prop it against something.
Do you always keep your pouch on your belt/shoulder or do you sometimes put it down when you enter a room etc? Do you ever pick tools based on the weight of them in order to keep you comfortable
on my 3rd mp1 pouch as the snap buckle keeps breaking.one good thing as veto have upheld the warranty on them.thinking about getting the tp3 before the buckle snaps again
@@AddictedtoTools I’m not sure of the brand, it’s pretty generic and got it when I started my apprenticeship, belts are a must here in WA though, I’ve only ever seen blokes use belts or a strap supported belt system.

Highly recommend the toughbuilt system. Can use a combination of padded belts/shoulder strap etc. very easy to clip on and off too for versatility
The tough built system has looked great. Good price for those as. How has it lasted?

Nice. Sounds almost like what I do. Gotta love the veto gear👌
please do more veto videos! 😩 absolutely love all their gear

@@AddictedtoTools 2nd Year in Sydney mate. also looking at getting the XXL bag or the backpack if you recommend those too?
The tp-xxl? I love the tach pac. Used it for years on and off planes.

The TP5b is way different. It’s huge and worlds great for a small carry around on the hip. Love the strap and set up though!
I’d be keen to try it out. What belt do you use at the moment, if any?

Cheers mate. Just subscribed👌
I use the same bag for antenna work. Best bag I have used so far. Used and abused and still holds its shape perfectly
They can definitely take a beating. Glad you’re also loving it.
Love that pro pack. Always wanted something from Veto
Try the buckaroo belts, they are great and you can get suspenders for them. I run one with a milwaukee sparkys pouch and a buckaroo 3 pocket pouch. I dont know how I survived without it!.
I’ve looked and tried on the buckaroo with the suspenders. loved it. maybe in future.
thanks for info👌🍻
really nice little set up i will only recommend to replace the milwaukee drywall knife for a lenox folding drywall knife
Thanks mate. I have seen the Lenox folding knives. They look great. I bought a cheaper folding knife awhile ago. Wasn’t a fan, but the Lenox blade would be better I’m sure.

I have this bag and from watching your video I didn’t know you can fit all that in there😁
I guess I have to just play with it
I use this bag for running low voltage wires
Or for finish work
It’s too small for my everyday work
I have a gator back full pouch with suspenders
I definitely overfill my bags. Always happens😂
I’ve been looking at getting a setup with suspenders. How have you found it?
I went to a buckaroo belt and it’s helped heaps
Great to hear. I was trying some today. Which one did you get?

A bit of inox goes a long way. Spay those Channellock’s and they’ll be as good as new. Same goes for all your tools/gear.
FYI Milwaukee and a Klein both have Sheetrock saws that fold now. They’re awesome and you change the blade to whatever you like. Look that up you won’t need that sleeve anymore over your blade.
Thanks for the info. I’ll have a look for sure👍
It’s a good pouch, should review the Milwaukee electricians pouch if you get one ☝️
that pouch is garbage mate, dont bother!
It's good if you get it for $50 or so, its not worth full price though. The pockets are too deep and not enough of them. The bag never stands on it own, always need to prop it against something.
@@gigaturtle4920 agreed. was pretty disappointed after using if for a couple weeks, only good part is the belt itself
Do you always keep your pouch on your belt/shoulder or do you sometimes put it down when you enter a room etc? Do you ever pick tools based on the weight of them in order to keep you comfortable
It really depends on what I’m doing but sometimes I do leave the pouch on the ground while I work. I definitely keep in mind the weight of the tools.
Can you run through exactly what bits you have attached to your lanyard set. cheers
ive been torn between this and the tp4b but think the 4 might be too big for just standard daily tools
For myself, the 4 did start to get too large. I like mine small and light though.
@@AddictedtoTools yeah I just want one for 2nd fixing and maintenance as long as it holds Couple screwdriver, level, voltages testers and cutters
What tips would give to someone starting a 1st year Electrical Apprentice?
Hey mate. I made a whole video on that one. Might be worth watching
on my 3rd mp1 pouch as the snap buckle keeps breaking.one good thing as veto have upheld the warranty on them.thinking about getting the tp3 before the buckle snaps again
I use a belt, clip round, I’m still struggling to find a setup that suits me perfectly. I just do new resi.
It’s hard to find that perfect setup. What belt are you using?
@@AddictedtoTools I’m not sure of the brand, it’s pretty generic and got it when I started my apprenticeship, belts are a must here in WA though, I’ve only ever seen blokes use belts or a strap supported belt system.
i have a belt, gatorback . thank u .
I don't believe I've seen them here. do you rate it?
@@AddictedtoTools a 10
Hi can a fluke t5 be in the big pocket of the mp1
Where's the wire strippers?
Pliers?…
Try the TP4B the TP5B is too big and clumsy.
I’d be keen to try it out. 👌
This is a joke if u would way to many tool in a small not quick enough to get it u need a way bigger bag
Hey mate. Maybe you run a different setup. Why would you call it a joke though? I’d be happy to take some advice and maybe see your setup. Cheers
