You can get pouches without a belt then get any thicker belt to put it on. I like that option because I can put on a minimalist pouch for residential trips or my larger leather pouch for the Industrial days.
Oh good point! I agree imperial is The Worst and metric is so much easier. But because Canada is so near the states, most construction related stuff is imperial (or a silly mix of both)
Hey! i’m a first year apprentice for IBEW153 and recently they just gave us a majority of the tools on our tool list, but I am curious what tool bag do you use or prefer!? I see a lot of tote bags and backpacks used where i’m at. I feel like a tote bag is easy to grab out of but easier for things to get stolen also! Would love to see what you prefer or use!
Veto all the way bro. I’ve had my bag for 5 years no rips or tears and the zippers still work flawless. Rain, snow I even ran it over with my truck once and everything was fine. Worth the money for sure
I have a few months until my foundation program starts. Do you have any suggestions on what math/science topics I could review to make it easier for someone that struggles a bit with math? So glad I found your channel!
Brush up on your trig. Sin Cos Tan etc. Khan academy is great for online resources. And I'm sure if you google first year electrical test questions, it would give you a better idea.
I'm a student, apprentice wannabe. My bag consists of a Linesman, long nose pliers, insulated screwdriver set, multimeter, flashlight, utility knife, gloves, safety glasses, sharpie, set of colored pens for wire mapping, carpenter pencil, roll of electric tape, K-tape measure, cheap 6" and stubby flat blade screwdrivers for breaking and chiseling. I use the Linesman as a hammer. I have a channel lock pliers but haven't used them or had occasion to use a nut driver. I'll get a multi-nut driver when the time comes. I'm an old guy, 60+, using up my GI Bill. The class is fun and learning a lot. In my six+ decades, electricity is something I've been afraid of, so I'm jumping in. Yes, bone up on trig and geometry. Khan is a great site for math. Also, get Ugly's reference books. We can use them when taking exams. Klein has a free downloadable tutorial on conduit bending. Sparkey Channel is good too. Observation: pay attention to detail. Electricity is dangerous. I told my class about your channel. Keep it fun. Thanks.
Wow Mark thank you for the comment! I have all those things except a multimeter, company provides those! Though one day when I'm a journey I would like to invest in one. Great tips, I didn't know Klein had that! I'm learning pipe bending this week so I will for sure check it out. Thanks for sharing, it means a lot!
@@LexElectric I'm a tool guy, so my bag has more stuff than I really need. However, the Klein tape measure is the best. It has the conduit bending charts on the back side of the tape. $22.00 at Home Depot. The little Ugly reference booklets are my new best friend.
You carry way less than I expected. Do you find you carry more stuff in industrial commercial over residential? I really would like to apprentice in residential when things get back to somewhat normal.
This doesn't include all my previous videos tools, and I do have a ratchet set and combo wrench set I didn't include. My company provides all power tools! And yes industrial I had to buy a few more tools.
@@LexElectric all good. Always curious to see what everyone carries and what more people in the trade prefer. Gives a good idea what I might try investing in before I get started.
klein has a folding allen key set. It also has 1/2 in. highly recommend
Adjustable wrench 😊
Good tools and looking lovely
Thanks 👍
I wish you still made videos.
Me too! I have a few filmed, but the edit takes anywhere from 4-8 hours per video and I haven't had the time lately!
You can tighten your Allen keys on the ends where they pivot so they don't jingle.
I have since learned this is haha makes sense !
Beautiful
They are called Shifters in Australia
So funny all the different names for things
Very Nice Good Luck To You 😉👍🏽⚡️
Thanks!
I get that struggle with the small gloves unavailability. I bulk ordered some packs to keep in my car
Good call
Hello I love tool, I m from Brazil, I would like see simple circuits in your canal, electric basic... Thanks for this opportunity.
Hey thanks for the comment. Check out Electrician U! They have videos on a lot of stuff like that.
Nice tools
Thanks!
Welcome
My friend I want work here but how

OK friend thanks very
You can tighten the Husky Allen wrench so they will not be floppy!
Bruh, genius
What tool belt do you use? They all seemed geared for larger waists.
I was gifted a Rackatiers tool belt and love it. They have size S-XL!

I hope klein bring out a set like those klein drivers you have for UK sizes, love the handles, super comfortable

@@LexElectricStandard or Bust 😂
Crescent Wrench or adjustable wrench/spanner
Oh man as soon as I started editing it came to me! Brain fart 😂
@@LexElectric o yeah u start pick u up or we meet 2 30 am work 4 30 am 12 30 put the shit down we gone
@@robertpress9285 I have no idea what you're trying to say here
@@LexElectric 😂😂
Crescent wrench or adjustable wrench. I have the same file but I snapped the handle
It's surprising how many sharpies you can go through. Whether they run out of ink (which is rare to happen) or if you lose it or it's taken lol

I have a dewalt tote, but wish I'd bought the Milwaukee pack out backpack. It has locks to keep secure, and easier to lug around.

LU915 here. Swap between a Kennedy 20" box and a Veto LC
Any new videos?
I'm just finishing up 3rd year school (which kicked my ass) so I've been busy! Hoping soon though ☺️

600 volt I doubt it. The wire is rated for 600 volt but 480 is the highest
It was definitely 600V!
listen with all due respect rep got u hired don't matter what u carrie
I don't really know what this means, but all these tools are required for the job. They didn't get me hired, but I couldn't work without them.
Getting hired is just the first step. Excellence - always trying to do a better job (which involves using the right tools), has value.
@@aaronbrown5631 very true! I've seen many people get laid off for having a poor attitude and workmanship.
