One thing which makes this video stand out from many others is that your tools have obviously been well used. No matter how we care for our kit, it’s going to look battered after a while. So many other videos where the tools are pristine and obviously new. Well done for a piece of authenticity.
Appreciating these RUclips algorithms.. That was a useful and refreshing presentation ..unlike several seemingly self-centered ‘look what I’ve got’ alternatives. Glad this showed up, thanks ~
The tools are cool the amazing part is that they fit in that great packout bag.
Really good, Patrick. Love this look at your mobile tool setup. Would like to see the same video but of your workshop.
Love the podcast!
Nice video - lots of overlap with mine. I add hex wrench set, sanding bock, small pry bar, glue,
I like to keep a shark bite 1/2" cap in every single bag I use regardless of what the bags for. I call it my contingency plan lol
Good mix of tools . . . Mine is set up mostly the same. I work occasionally with a guy who has a 'bucket boss' that's so loaded you can barely lift it . . . it makes ZERO sense. It's so crammed, that you have to unload 1/2 of it just to find anything. Plus you never know what's on the bottom until you take out everything that is on top ! To me it makes more sense to have 2 or 3 bags that are 'functionally' loaded, rather than 1 that's a total mess.
pretty good. I have a similar setup plus or minus. Some extra things I carry that come in handy: A set of allen wrenches, couple of markers, plumbers tape, old paintbrush, small extension magnet, small mirror, and a toothbrush
I do have fractional allen wrenches in there that I forgot to mention.
Great video Patrick. One thing I've found to be super handy are small wire picks. I have a couple of sets, and they have gotten me out of a few tricky situations!
You could also eliminate the shingle cutter by carrying a hook blade as a spare in your regular utility knife.
Good video. One thing I would add is a contactless voltage tester.
Good point.
I used to have one in there. It must be in my electrical kit now or maybe I lent it to somebody...
you've got to have a roll of toilet paper. You might have to take a wicked shit at that opportune moment.
wow amazing...I have all these tools but in 3 different bags...
Thanks for the video
Great video good for beginners. 😊
You need Midwest aviation snips. Best ones.
Amazing how much overlap between your tools and the ones I've used for years. I have virtually the same things in a similar bag. A pencil compass and a couple very small prybars and screwdrivers are the only things "missing". I don't have the flexible tape measure or a self-retracting chalk line though!
Midwest snips are hands down the only way to go. If they ever go bad, just take them back to the store and get your new pair!
I have a similar set but with Klein tools and southwire and Milwaukee pliers yours is a good kit to
Where are the bandaids or superglue (dermabond)?
I have all those same tools in different places around my shed except that adorable combination square and the staple remover. I probably can’t afford that square, but that staple remover seems doable. I need to get me one of those right away. Last week I yanked a lot of the insulation out from under my bathroom to get at look at the termite tunnels. I might as well pull out the staples while I think about what to do about the situation under there. I thought about you when those termites were raining down on my hat. You would not have liked it.
4:47 what model number is that Milwaukee hand saw? I’ve been looking for that forever.
Hello,
You mentioned that you used to use a Bucket Boss. I was just wondering if you used the bucket boss that fits over a 5 gallon bucket, or if you used one of the bucket boss tool bags?
One that goes on a 5 gallon bucket
Is the saw blade handle made by Milwaukee??
The auto wire strippers (Irwin) are so much better than those crappy notched ones.
My dad had a set of those. Not really a fan.
I sat on and ancient tube of graphite I had in my back pocket... Plastic disintegrated, what a mess lol
what the heck does that bag weigh when full?!
About 40 pounds
@@patrickmccombe It's a great set. Why no small cordless drill ? Thanks for sharing
@@will9523 It's just the hand tools Will. Maybe I should make another video of my impact drivers and accessories. I don't use my cordless drill much anymore since the impact drivers have come along.
@@patrickmccombe
Hello,
Are you able to do drilling operations with the impact driver?
@@tallswede80 yeah no problem small bits you won't notice a change in performance unless your work requires out- of the ordinary precision. Hex bits have extra runout. So not good for precision machining but fine for the rest of us. Bigger holes for tubing and wires in wood framing with a spade bit, go slow and it works fine. Push to hard and it starts impacting, slowing progress. If you want to drill bigger than 1/4 in. With a twist bit like steel or aluminum use a drill and a twist bit not the impact driver. Some will say you can't or shouldn't drill with an impact driver, you can ignore them.
