Nice setup! Lots of great tips and ideas here. Good tour of the veto bag too. Constructive comment on the step bits... I have that DeWalt one and others. The spiral flute ones are much harder to resharpen. The straight flute ones can be resharpened dozens of times quite easily, effectively lasting longer because of this. Spiral flute does cut faster and clear chips better, but they also can pull into thin wall material like a conventional twist drill bit, which can be a significant downside.
I laughed at my kids when they watched other kids play with toys on RUclips, but I just realized that I watched 45min of adults playing with their tools and wasn't even bored..
Over many years I have been putting repair kits together for various purposes….home repair, motorcycle, mowers, saws, autos etc. never able to put the perfect one together. I feel I just took a graduate level course on repair kit assembly and interchangeability of components. Outstanding presentation. Thank you!
You gave me some great ideas and introduced me to some new tools. Not sure why so many commenters feel the need to point out that many of your tools look new. I thought my do-it-all bag was loaded to the max, but you put me to shame. Side note: I have a lot of older tools that are Made in USA, and while they have served me well, I am converting some of them to German/Swiss/Japanese tools and bits with no regrets. Look forward to more videos!
I wanted to thank u for taking your time and describing everything u have in your tool back and the feedback of how much u like each an every tool. I appreciate it
Ha, not exactly true, but a lot of the tools are newer after decades of buying tools and buying something better rather than running out in the middle of a project and buying something at the hardware store. The idea is that they are CURRENT and optimized, not what I randomly bought… otherwise why make the video? Thx for the comment!
@@kartikmalhotra6469None of my tools have a speck of rust. I treat them like I treat my firearms. Garden tools get power washed, sanded, painted, and a coat of wax. I prefer fiberglass handles but would handles get a coat of boiled linseed oil. Hand tools are meticulously cleaned and oiled regularly. Some tools get waxed. Still have every Craftsman tools I bought with my first paycheck 35 years ago and, while they do have a little bit of wear, They're as nice as when I opened the packages. Just got to take care of your stuff.
Best setup ever. I am a DIY (professional homeowner) and I see I already had most of them, except the bag ! Bought the bag and just putting it together in a similar way like this video, was a lot of fun, thanks for sharing !
Two things, 1) that things weighs a ton. I thinks it’s super cool you have maximized your space in such a creative way. I do think the life of the bag and your back are going to be cut pretty short however due to the stress. 2) I actually have found a way to effectively turn this into a backpack. Underneath the two meter bags on either side is a location where you can place a stainless steel eyelit. Place a nut on this with a washer. Now just place aftermarket backpack straps. This should help out your back way more.
I am working on a smaller bag load out. I think at the end of the day, it’s how many tool run trips do you want to make vs bag weight. Neither is ideal. Thanks for commenting!
skip to 30:05 for a statement that describes me perfectly! great video man. i have this same bag with a very similar set up. some great tools on show and a few i dont have which ive been eyeing up and will now probably have the motivation to grab. i did catch the measuring tape clip on the front of the bag whilst on a cat ladder and it tore the leather. really upset me. other than that cant fault this bag its been great. I have that tape measure too! love the 8th inch measurements. that long shank klein is really cool. i dont keep a long shank as they take up too much room but thats perfect. gave me some good food for thought buddy thanks.
This is a great video!!! I love using my Circuit Locator from Klein!! Love your videos buddy! I like to operate the way that I’m seeing that you operate as well. Meaning I’d always rather be looking at it… than looking for it in any situation. Yes this is quite a lot for a EDC some Are probably thinking… But if you just think about it any situation that could rear its head, makes a bag like this very useful when dealing With day to day operations and being out and about making a living. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee OverLand I use as my work vehicle and the entire back is nothing but a Full Klein ModBox Kit with all of my stuff that’s mobile… I have of course my everyday tool bag and I like to get my tools out in the morning and think about how I’m gonna execute a lot of different tasks throughout my day. Anyone who Works with me especially my Foreman knows he can find me 15-20 Min early just about every day putting my key tools in my EDC Job Bag that I’m using for the day. Yes it is a lot and it’s also quite a bit of money. But once you have it you have everything you need and that gives me some peace in life. We are never done with our kit because we are constantly replenishing or replacing certain tools but the core is very seldom changed. Keep the good videos coming brother and stay safe!!
Right. The approach to this bag was to be able to cover whatever you run into. I have other bag loadout videos that are focused on being lightweight. Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, I have most of the same items, infrared thermometer and anemometer in mine as well, I can do most of what I need in the house or car. Bag weighs 30lbs but man is saves me a lot of walking to get tools from the shop. I try to get all things that serve more than a single function!
@@projectpinehills Of course, you picked all great quality tools perfect for most jobs. It's fun knowing you can solve most issues with one bag and you can tailor it to your needs. Mine is certainly a work in progress!
Maybe I didn’t explain. The entire bag is an update. Why would I make a video before the update? Who wants to see my 20 year old CLC bag? Thanks for commenting!
@@projectpinehills I love to see, the tools you guys use up there in the states, it's a same we can't get most of that cool stuff down here at México...regards from mexico
Nice clear load out. Please consider adding some more electronic tools. An exstention camera/borascope now costs around 10 dollars for 5 meters and it is very usefuel for variaous inspections. Also a thermal camera like Infiray P2 costs now just 300 dollars and it is a super tool for themperature measurment, leak detection and short detection. I would personally also add a can of liquid insualtion, it is perfect for electric work and patching most holes.
Nice packout! I appreciate you doing this, I did pick up some good ideas for tool choices. Maybe add some 3:1 oil and steel wool for tool cleanup? My problem with canvas sacks is that they don't seem to last and if they get the slightest bit of water on them, the tools rust out in the bag and theres a big mess. I don't use my tools like this every day and that might be the problem. I've pretty much given up on a one bag solution. I have to organize by the job. Electrical | Plumbing | Framing | Mechanical | Demolition etc.. Seems like every job I get I end up using every tool I have, and still manage to need to buy more. I do like the new stackable pack=out systems Rigid | Milwaukee, but they are heavy and klunky, but they do the job in protecting the tools from the element, but they aren't the best tool organizers. I think I am going to spray the inside of the black boxes orange/white so I can see easier what I have, don't know why they don't do this automatically ... just put everything down in a black hole, brilliant.
Nice setup! I carry a very similar cross section of tools in my Veto backpack and it serves me through 90% of the repairs I do in any given day. I don’t think you’re overloaded at all-I think my bag weighs around 50lbs but that saves me from walking across the plant and back to the crib for parts (most of the time) or tools. Thanks for sharing a peek into your workflow.
Right on, thank you! That’s the thing with tool organization, there are lots of ways to approach it. It’s really comes down to the process/workflow and it’s never perfect. 👍
👏 Well done! The magnetic screwdriver.. ehhemmm.. level made me chuckle. Kudos for the video though, there is alot of helpful tips and suggestions in this hidden gem.
Isn’t blue metric? That’s what I’m used to. Loved the tour. I really need to put a bag together. Save the trips back out to the garage. Thx for sharing. Lots of good ideas. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
wow i just got same bag and when it arrived i thought it is too small. then i saw this video tonight and going to try to set up similarly. it would be handy to have a list of all the tools you have in there but very amazing video thanks
It is larger than you think and I have overloaded it a bit. I have a list of all the tools in the description, did you check that out? Thanks for watching! 👍
This was the most helpful Video I’ve seen in a while Unfortunately now I have tool bag envy But There are A couple of things I’m going to buy one is a step bit another is a centerpunch and a socket to receptacle adapter and faucet aerator tool removal thanks for the video
It’s hilarious how all the gate keepers always say “these tools look like they never come out the bag”. I didn’t know it was a right of passage to have beaten up/greasy looking tools. My policy is to not be concerned about what others choose to do especially when it doesn’t affect me or the rest of humanity in any way.
It never fails, there's always one lol. I wasn’t going to make a video talking about what I planned to do, I put in some new tools right before the video. It represents improvements not what I used 20 years ago when information about tools was limited. Even the bag is new. Who wants to see my collapsing 60lbs CLC bag? And if your going to produce a video, it makes sense to have a clear presentation. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you. I found my next bag. I do a lot of work for family and friends. This will be great. I have a smaller one but I think its time for an up grade. Just Purchased!
Great bag, very similar to mine. I use the open top mc-ot and I have it completely packed but because the bag is not to big it’s still a reasonable weight.
You have a nice load out, im sure it weights alot. I have a couple veto products and love the quality. So what I have done is purchased the rolling tool bag from harbor freight and put my veto bags in that, it saves on the shoulder.
I was pumped when those Milwaukee 7-1 pliers came out bc I love the Klein hybrid linesman strippers with the grey handle so I gave these milwaukees a shot and bc they can strip #10 solid I figured they would cut it Np right? WRONG! First attempt it bent the blade so bad it looks like I cut a live circuit and they have a hole right in the middle?!? Milwaukee doesn’t warranty hand tools so they’re in the garbage pile with the rest of my Milwaukee hand tools which have been switched out, years ago, to Knipex pliers and Wera drivers. Nothing cuts, grips and feels like knipex and they’re just as costly as Klein and similar.
Save your back and load-out a few different 'Task Specific" bags rather than drag 30lbs of tools to a task that only requires two or three of them. I try to keep my Veto TP4B under 15lbs...or closer to 10 without the impact. I used to lug-around a fully-loaded MC and MCT bag - and THEN the backpack ALL of those things are like 30lbs. Now I run the TP4B and keep my OT-XXL on the van with the things I don't use daily or doubles of 'must-have' tools. I utilize the CP4 and CP5 pouches for things like a dual-port manometer with all the wrenches and drivers I need to check gas pressure - for example. I like to make these kits for other tasks that I may only do once a week or once per months (or season tools) to keep the weight out of my main service bag - it's all trial and error - been perfecting my load-out for HVAC Service for almost 8yrs now.
Thanks for your feedback. I have a TP3B I’m building out and considering a TP-LC to have something lite. I’ve had a lot of luck with a tool pouch I put together for small jobs. Thanks for watching! 👍
In my rush to get our newest tech setup asap I mindlessly used your Amazon links to quickly order everything but ended up with 1/4" Makita sockets rather than 3/8 to go with the ratchet & extension. My fault for not reading the product description but frustrating none the less. Maybe fix that link for the next guy. Other than that everything was great. This bag is unreal! 😎
@@projectpinehillsThe jab saw link is wrong as well. The Klein is way too heavy & I'm not even sure it takes standard sawzall blades. All that said, it's all the links you provided that really set you apart from everyone else. Nice work!
@billmartin3198 I linked to Klein because the Milwaukee wasn't on Amazon at the time of making the video but it appears to be now. I've updated the link to Milwaukee, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Veto worth dropping the coin on? Inside wireman apprentice who just got on an industrial service crew. Our truck service bed doesn’t fit my Klein tradesman backpack very well in the bins. Looking to downsize and streamline. Well wishes from IBEW LU 520
I’ve found they rust a lot less in an enclosed tool bag. If they are stored out of the bag in a non conditioned space, corrosion is a problem. Thanks for watching!
You carry a phone, with a flashlight? 2 flashlights and the Klien area light? Light on your drill? I think you may be over back- upping things. What about multiple other tools? Weight is a consideration also. Cheers 👍
iPhone doesn’t mount on my hat or anywhere. It's the Two is One, One is none concept. I will probably remove the Rofis flashlight, I was still trying out the Olight when I made the video. Thanks for watching!
I couldn’t imagine this tool bag being practical for everyday/ in and out of truck use. First off,,it has to be extremely heavy. I wonder how many flights of stairs you could get up without sitting down to take a break😂. Second, there’s way too much to keep track of. Lastly, many items are redundant and can be removed. For example, the battery post cleaner, wire brush, toothbrush, sandpaper could be replaced with one scotchbrite pad that’s cut into small pieces.
How many trips do you want to make up and down those stairs? I have lighter bag loadouts on the channel. Not sure scotchbrite pads replace a wire brush. That doesn’t sound practical. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehills I hear ya, but do you use that bag on a daily basis? I sometimes make multiple stops per day (and I am pushing 50) so that’s why I cringe. The wire brush is light so that’s not a big deal, but the mechanics tools are weight killers. I carry a Veto XLT and I wish I could carry smaller. Everything else is subcategorized into pack out cases or systainers depending what job is on deck. Rough in work is in the pack outs, trim out work is in systainers. So I’ll grab my Veto bag and whatever kit I need. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy your reviews and don’t mean to sound overly critical.
Try hauling that thing around for an 8hr shift 😅 great tools and neat setup.. lot of things could be ditched to give your self a more feasible setup. Lets be serious carrying that thing must be painful. You could do all the same jobs with a quarter of the tools. Just saying. Very clean and pretty tho.
It’s a loadout… it’s not the only loudout. Thats the point. You have to figure out what suits you. I have lighter loadouts. Ideally, I’d say it’s good to have a light bag and a bigger catch all bag that you can pull tools from. Thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehills Thanks for the info. Struggling to find UK supplier and overseas shipping +50% of cost then remembered I had a mobile phone car vent holder ( clip fitting) with swivel magnet on the end which I can clip onto my bag/strap. :-)
It’s about 30lbs, I use the shoulder strap. Definitely times to have something smaller, I’m thinking of setting up a tool pouch, I have a couple I got for free under VETO promotions.
you seem to be a proponent of klein. maybe you don't know about this one - but you can eliminate most of those right angle screwdrivers with it, and replace them with a klein ratcheting screwdriver (65200). it's like a service wrench, kinda, but just accepts standard 1/4" screwdriver bits like you already have clipped on one of those D-rings anyway. check it out, maybe you'll like it. they're convenient and would help to lighten your back marginally by removing those right angle drivers
You have a wide assortment of tools and was going to ask what type of work you did and then noticed you had a piece of Romex in the bag so I’m assuming you’re an Electrician. Are you a maintenance Electrician/Mechanic?
I do all kinds of work, but mostly electrical and maintenance. This loadout is for all around work meaning it’s not for a routine take you do several times a day. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching! 👍
42:20 I live in a 240V country and I can imagine things getting dangerous if one decides to pull 3000W out of a fixture that is made to handle a light bulb, maybe even just an led/energy saving bulb these days
I’ve had bags like this and after a few years I realize they are not efficient for a tech. I roll with the MCT and when I need the full arsenal I’ll roll the packout with everything else
You are exactly right and I have made that update since I did this tool bag loadout. I have some videos on mini ratchets, check those out. Thanks for posting! 👍
Nice setup! Lots of great tips and ideas here. Good tour of the veto bag too. Constructive comment on the step bits... I have that DeWalt one and others. The spiral flute ones are much harder to resharpen. The straight flute ones can be resharpened dozens of times quite easily, effectively lasting longer because of this. Spiral flute does cut faster and clear chips better, but they also can pull into thin wall material like a conventional twist drill bit, which can be a significant downside.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
I laughed at my kids when they watched other kids play with toys on RUclips, but I just realized that I watched 45min of adults playing with their tools and wasn't even bored..

Great bag, very similar to mine. I use the open top mc-ot and I have it completely packed but because the bag is not to big it’s still a reasonable weight.
I really like the Milwaukee Inkzall pens vs Sharpie.
All mine dried out. Maybe they sat in the store too long. Thanks for watching! 👍
You have a nice load out, im sure it weights alot. I have a couple veto products and love the quality. So what I have done is purchased the rolling tool bag from harbor freight and put my veto bags in that, it saves on the shoulder.
I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching!
you should look into the Purdy folding 10 in 1 scraper tool nice and compact similar to the Milwaukee folding saw
I have and I have a Hyde duel blade. I like the old Hyde because it has no openings for scraping really dirty stuff. Thank for the feedback! 👍
I thought my bag was loaded. This is amazing.
Maybe too loaded! Thanks for watching!
I was pumped when those Milwaukee 7-1 pliers came out bc I love the Klein hybrid linesman strippers with the grey handle so I gave these milwaukees a shot and bc they can strip #10 solid I figured they would cut it Np right? WRONG! First attempt it bent the blade so bad it looks like I cut a live circuit and they have a hole right in the middle?!? Milwaukee doesn’t warranty hand tools so they’re in the garbage pile with the rest of my Milwaukee hand tools which have been switched out, years ago, to Knipex pliers and Wera drivers. Nothing cuts, grips and feels like knipex and they’re just as costly as Klein and similar.
Sounds like the Klein’s are worth a look, thx!
Great setup love all your tool picks.
I worked for Lowe’s delivery for 5 years, delivering and installing all appliances.. the Irwin is so much nicer than the Klein.
I love my mct blackout and 5 gallon bucket but that bag is fire😂
Thanks for watching!
Save your back and load-out a few different 'Task Specific" bags rather than drag 30lbs of tools to a task that only requires two or three of them. I try to keep my Veto TP4B under 15lbs...or closer to 10 without the impact. I used to lug-around a fully-loaded MC and MCT bag - and THEN the backpack ALL of those things are like 30lbs.
Now I run the TP4B and keep my OT-XXL on the van with the things I don't use daily or doubles of 'must-have' tools.
I utilize the CP4 and CP5 pouches for things like a dual-port manometer with all the wrenches and drivers I need to check gas pressure - for example.
I like to make these kits for other tasks that I may only do once a week or once per months (or season tools) to keep the weight out of my main service bag - it's all trial and error - been perfecting my load-out for HVAC Service for almost 8yrs now.
Thanks for your feedback. I have a TP3B I’m building out and considering a TP-LC to have something lite. I’ve had a lot of luck with a tool pouch I put together for small jobs. Thanks for watching! 👍
That’s one awesome setup sir.. keep the great videos rollin 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice loadout! I didn't catch what job you do. Maintenance?
Yes, Maintenance
Nice setup, very well thought out. Do you actually use any of those tools though, they are awfully clean.......:)
Thx! The entire bag has been updated.
In my rush to get our newest tech setup asap I mindlessly used your Amazon links to quickly order everything but ended up with 1/4" Makita sockets rather than 3/8 to go with the ratchet & extension. My fault for not reading the product description but frustrating none the less. Maybe fix that link for the next guy. Other than that everything was great. This bag is unreal! 😎
I apologize for that, thanks for the feedback. I've updated the Makita 3/8 socket links. 👍 thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehillsThe jab saw link is wrong as well. The Klein is way too heavy & I'm not even sure it takes standard sawzall blades. All that said, it's all the links you provided that really set you apart from everyone else. Nice work!
@billmartin3198 I linked to Klein because the Milwaukee wasn't on Amazon at the time of making the video but it appears to be now. I've updated the link to Milwaukee, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Warrior makes a decent 90 adapter . My old DeWalt stays in my main bag but the warrior stays in my under the house tool pan
That makes sense! Thanks for commenting! 👍
Great to see all the different tool ideas! How do you keep your tools so clean?
Thanks for watching!
Veto worth dropping the coin on? Inside wireman apprentice who just got on an industrial service crew. Our truck service bed doesn’t fit my Klein tradesman backpack very well in the bins. Looking to downsize and streamline.
Well wishes from IBEW LU 520
I'm industrial too. I really like this for working at heights - less worried about stuff falling out.
Wait for the promotions ,you’ll get extra bags or a pouch tp4, that’s all the streamline you need till you get your own truck
Love the setup. I have watched this maybe 10 times all the way through. What boot is on your impact driver?
The M12 impact boot, but the impact is an m12 surge. Thanks for watching!
Damn good set up. Love it. Dropping in to support a fellow tradesman
Thanks for watching. Working on a tool pouch setup to have a lightweight option.
That hammer looks brand new, never been used is that case? I'm jealous my estwing hammers are all blackish patina after decades of heavy use.
Many of the tools are new as is the bag. Thanks for watching!
Nice setup. How do you keep your tools so clean of rust? I live in a high humidity climate it's a constant fight for me.
I’ve found they rust a lot less in an enclosed tool bag. If they are stored out of the bag in a non conditioned space, corrosion is a problem. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video overall sir! Very informative!
Great setup, thanks for sharing gave me some good ideas on my setup
Upgrade: Blue Monster Teflon tape. Much thicker and easier to handle than the cheap stuff.
Yeah that’s a good point. I have upgraded the teflon tape to Oatey, it makes a difference. Thanks for watching!
Great setup! How much for all that excellent gear 🙂
Too much! Thanks for watching! 👍
You carry a phone, with a flashlight? 2 flashlights and the Klien area light? Light on your drill? I think you may be over back- upping things. What about multiple other tools? Weight is a consideration also. Cheers 👍
iPhone doesn’t mount on my hat or anywhere. It's the Two is One, One is none concept. I will probably remove the Rofis flashlight, I was still trying out the Olight when I made the video. Thanks for watching!
I couldn’t imagine this tool bag being practical for everyday/ in and out of truck use. First off,,it has to be extremely heavy. I wonder how many flights of stairs you could get up without sitting down to take a break😂. Second, there’s way too much to keep track of. Lastly, many items are redundant and can be removed. For example, the battery post cleaner, wire brush, toothbrush, sandpaper could be replaced with one scotchbrite pad that’s cut into small pieces.
How many trips do you want to make up and down those stairs? I have lighter bag loadouts on the channel. Not sure scotchbrite pads replace a wire brush. That doesn’t sound practical. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehills I hear ya, but do you use that bag on a daily basis? I sometimes make multiple stops per day (and I am pushing 50) so that’s why I cringe. The wire brush is light so that’s not a big deal, but the mechanics tools are weight killers. I carry a Veto XLT and I wish I could carry smaller. Everything else is subcategorized into pack out cases or systainers depending what job is on deck. Rough in work is in the pack outs, trim out work is in systainers. So I’ll grab my Veto bag and whatever kit I need. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy your reviews and don’t mean to sound overly critical.
Try hauling that thing around for an 8hr shift 😅 great tools and neat setup.. lot of things could be ditched to give your self a more feasible setup. Lets be serious carrying that thing must be painful. You could do all the same jobs with a quarter of the tools. Just saying. Very clean and pretty tho.
It’s a loadout… it’s not the only loudout. Thats the point. You have to figure out what suits you. I have lighter loadouts. Ideally, I’d say it’s good to have a light bag and a bigger catch all bag that you can pull tools from. Thanks for watching!
I was waiting for you to bring out the kitchen sink, looks like you're carrying everything
It’s a never ending question… how many pounds to carry. I’m putting together a light weight Veto TP bag. Thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehills wish you all the best, I'm a locksmith and I've gone through so many tool bags, but this one looks like just what I need.
It’s a great bag, just putting a really small option together for smaller jobs.
Great vid given me some space saving examples for my DIY
Vito TP-LC. What did you make the screw key chain magnet out of ?
The SNAP-ON magnet 🧲?
@@projectpinehills Thanks for the info. Struggling to find UK supplier and overseas shipping +50% of cost then remembered I had a mobile phone car vent holder ( clip fitting) with swivel magnet on the end which I can clip onto my bag/strap. :-)
Sorry to hear that
nice setup, what do you do for a living?
Maintenance, thanks for watching!
Amazing tool setup
Thanks for watching!
Amazing tools and toolbag only i need to know how heavy is to the e every day carry
It’s about 30lbs, I use the shoulder strap. Definitely times to have something smaller, I’m thinking of setting up a tool pouch, I have a couple I got for free under VETO promotions.
Love to have one of that veto bag
Yeah they are a great set up. Thanks for watching!
Amazing video, going to need to build out a carry kit as well now. What trade are you in or is this just your around the house bag?
Property Maintenance. Thanks for commenting!
Right angle pick!
If it’s not in there, it should be. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I take it you’ve taken the small V swap panel out?
I still have the panel in. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate listing all the tools/links in the order you showed them. Haven't made it to the end yet, but what is the total weight of that load out?
Today, it’s 40lbs. On the heavy side. It was at 30lbs at first. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, awesome set up!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Enjoyed this. Made me consider ditching the tool box for a bag. Any other good bag recommendations?
Yes I like the new Tech-MCT
@@projectpinehills Thanks.
You use any of them tools? How they all look so clean?
Because they get cleaned 🧼 that is why. Thanks for watching lol
you seem to be a proponent of klein. maybe you don't know about this one - but you can eliminate most of those right angle screwdrivers with it, and replace them with a klein ratcheting screwdriver (65200). it's like a service wrench, kinda, but just accepts standard 1/4" screwdriver bits like you already have clipped on one of those D-rings anyway.
check it out, maybe you'll like it. they're convenient and would help to lighten your back marginally by removing those right angle drivers
I did remove the right angle drivers with 1” hex bits and a mini ratchet just recently. Thanks, I’ll check out the Klein.
Nice Batman suit for the impact 😅
I do like it, currently appears to be unavailable. 👍
Twingrips grip the best of all pliers ever.
I agree, I'm going to talk about those in a video!
You have a wide assortment of tools and was going to ask what type of work you did and then noticed you had a piece of Romex in the bag so I’m assuming you’re an Electrician. Are you a maintenance Electrician/Mechanic?
I do all kinds of work, but mostly electrical and maintenance. This loadout is for all around work meaning it’s not for a routine take you do several times a day. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching! 👍
um i cant recall if you had eye protection in there or not, for when using that 3/8 extension in your impact. Otherwise great loadout!
husky has a nice set of impact extensions for when that makita wobble isnt enough
I do have safety glasses in there at 01:09 in the video. Thanks for watching!
Husky 6 in. Impact Socket Adapter Set (3-Piece)?
Thank you for making the video.
Hope it was helpful!
That’s a thing of beauty
Thanks for watching!
42:20 I live in a 240V country and I can imagine things getting dangerous if one decides to pull 3000W out of a fixture that is made to handle a light bulb, maybe even just an led/energy saving bulb these days
Yeah that light 💡 socket adapter supports the Klein test equipment that is designed for receptacles. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Well I’m definitely buying some things… thanks!
Link for the Husky storage container? Didn't see it in the description.
Can find it on online, but this is a good one: amzn.to/41pe0HW
I think this 12" extension from Irwin is not suitable for impact. The bit locking mechanism is good, but not for impact.
I have a DeWalt and Milwaukee 12” extension that I use now. I use them more for drilling anyhow. Thanks for posting! 👍
Awesome video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I’ve had bags like this and after a few years I realize they are not efficient for a tech. I roll with the MCT and when I need the full arsenal I’ll roll the packout with everything else
Another lighter option is nice. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Ditch those right angle drivers and get a mini bit ratchet, you already have bits. Easier to use and less weight.
You are exactly right and I have made that update since I did this tool bag loadout. I have some videos on mini ratchets, check those out. Thanks for posting! 👍
@@projectpinehills Sweet, keep it up, I like your style. I would love yo to do a screwdriver and pliers deep dive video.
How heavy is this bag with everything in it?
about 40lbs today. I've taken to using the shoulder strap.
