Don't forget a good cooler and lunch bag
I recommend a decent set of combination wrenches. Adjustable wrenches don't fit into spaces that a combi wrech does and the box end won't round off nuts and bolts.
I've only been in HVAC/R for a few years now but I've learned the beer is the most essential tool in this video
Wow your van is so clean!
I’m in school and my teachers uses your videos to teach us thanx sir
Sunnyvic Pa oh that’s cool. Hope some can help man 👍
Awesome advice. I'm currently in hvac school . This will help me prepare a lot better!
Hey bro love the channel and videos just thought I’d give you some video suggestions, some stuff I’d personally like to know more about..
Leak detector and tips on how to find leaks
Air flow issues, what to look for and how to solve issues, I know this is a tough one sometimes.
More advanced trouble shooting like knowing when there is contamination in the line set, line set restrictions, bad compressor ratio, things like that :)
Thank god somebody else agrees that new guys should know how to read and use analog gauges. Found so many new guys who know how to use digital gauges but if you slap a pair of analogs in their hands, they couldn’t tell you what the subcooling or superheat is. Nice video as well, agree with everything you said!
Nice job Chris, after 35 yrs if I buy anymore tools I will need to tow a trailer behind my van. Jumper wires lots of them lol
Thanks for the great information
Of course the green handle snips are left haha. I usually use red right angles. But yeah..not often needed. Stubby 8-1s come in handy as well.
I carry many of the tools you mentioned in your first starter hvac tool video. I think techs of all different types from new to journeyman can learn from these videos, you the best Chris, keep it up 👍
George Jarka thanks George. I appreciate the comment and support man. Be safe brotha !
I carry a really small 1/4” socket set that I yous daily on smaller thing
So helpful was an installer in Jamaica now a technician in UK starting my job the 30th of this month wanted some basic everyday use tools. Thanks so much. I'm ready to order now . I feel better watching this.
Do you run into torx or square stuff much? What about insulated drivers?
Stubby Klein 4-in-1 screwdriver is essential!
Bro is the irvin vise grip adjustable wrench is good for tight flair nut
Brother Chris. Time for heating season. How are you surviving this Covid-19 in Massachusetts? I was supposed to visit my cousin in Marshfield about tone. But because of the pandemic it’s put off till next year Lord willing. Thank you for the shout out and the video. Have a great Sunday evening. God bless.
Blaze Eisner doing good blaze. This summer got crazy busy. Still a lot of places shut down though. The restaurants and stuff are not doing good out here at all
Good stuff like seeing different perspectives
Keep up the good work brother!
Hi Chris, I am a technician in England. I have found your channel very useful. Can you give any advice please I'm currently looking to get some analogue guages and have been looking at a set of R410a and R32 as I work mainly on these gases at the moment with air con. Is there any reason why these can't be used for other gases if I use an app to get saturation temps. Any advice on the subject would be appreciated. Thanks Fran
You can use them as long as they have high enough ratings to handle system pressure . For example you couldn’t use R22 gauges with 410A because the pressure or 410A is a lot higher especially the high side
Great stuff Chris 👍👍. Good to see you again!
HVACR Survival thanks man 👍. Hope you are well bro
How about getting Chris on one of the podcasts ey !
I’ve made that suggestion before would love to see it
@@Cscrefandhvac what you doing tonight Chris? You want to come on at 8:30 area Eastern
Do you have some advice for hvac students, you are great sir.
Just work hard and try to learn everything you can.
Hammer.
👍
And those fkkn tstat drivers are gold. And never around when you need it. Never...
Hi im new in here . thx for the video hope you can download some electrical troubles in refrigeration. Regds and God bless.
Always a pleasure to see a notification for a CSC video 👍
I would add to the tool kit a solenoid magnet , mirror and a leatherman .
And also digital thermometer with clamps or k-type probes , but I think it's on the meter already.
Another great and helpful video 👍
Just started an hvac apprenticeship a month ago doing both installs and service. A few tools we've used pretty regularly not mentioned. Sheet metal crimpers, cordless metal shears, sheet metal benders, cordless angle grinder, tape measure, markers, pencils, pipe benders or alternatively, these plastic tube things that go inside the pipes to stop kinking, a hammer, cordless skilsaw, sawzall, xacto knife, hack saw, flaring tool.
Yes , thanks for adding that stuff , good suggestions. I based this video off a service side point of view not sheet metal or installs so it would depend what part of the trade you are in for sure
@@Cscrefandhvac I didn't realize there was companies specializing in one or the other until watching this video. Then I realized the big job we're doing right now installing ducting in the new construction must be install, but the hrv repair we did the other day must be service. I think we do more installs than service though to be fair. I'm just getting my own tool bag together now after borrowing and begging so i've been trying to think of every little thing. This video and all your others have been really helpful. I've just been thrown in the deep end with everything. I've been really trying though.
@@Dug88 nice man good for you 👍. And yes , a lot of companies specialize in certain things where a lot will also do both installs and service. Usually they are 2 separate depts and you either do one or the other but at small companies you end up doing both because there is not enough people to have separate install and service guys
@@Cscrefandhvac We're a small company, three of us at the moment doing jobs. It's a small town though and there's not many other companies so we're doing all the things. Honestly, it's an awesome trade, you get to learn pretty much all the trades and the guys i'm learning from have decades of experience and they're mostly patient and are willing to teach. I'm really thankful to have this opportunity, i just have a lot to learn.
@@Dug88 that’s awesome man good for you . Try to just absorb and learn as much as you can dude . That’s also great that you have really experienced guys teaching you also .
Great video bud!!
Good one Chris
👍👍👍
