This is a great tool list. It’s a very comprehensive. The only thing I might add is a long, thin, small screwdriver for unlocking privacy latches, and investigating what is behind the wall that you’re about to drill into or put an anchor in.
@@Building_Maintenance_Journey Appreciate that & that's a great tool to add to the list. There's always something that we need a small screwdriver for & plenty of uses for it like you stated about investigating behind a wall. Thanks for watching Building_Maintenance_Journey & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@TheRroberson123 Appreciate that & definitely agree with the other items you said. I also have a small magnetic stud finder & plastic parts organizer I carry with all the little items you mentioned. Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@TheRroberson123 I haven't seen those but I'll check them out. I have several veto tool bags but my main bag is the Veto Tech MCT, but lately I've been using my Veto MB2 for small service calls since I have 3 floors to go up & down.
I do hotel maintenance luckily they provide all these exact tools. Only thing is were limited on what we can do has we dont carry big parts to fix things
@ApartmentMaintenance 11 years. Its similar to apartments but different in some ways. We're more limited on what we can do because of management. Most of our repairs in the guest rooms. I've also had experience with cooling towers and chillers.
Ive worked maintenance in a large stage theater and now Im starting maintenance in an apartment company. This really helped me narrow down what I do and dont need to buy and made me feel a bit more confident on not knowing how or what I'll need to succeed at the job. Ive used all of these (minus the multimeter as I wasnt our HVAC/ Electrician persons) but its good to know I still have time to buy things like the multimeter later because theyre pricey. Im confident using all the other tools youve highlighted for the most part, thank you!
No problem! Glad the video helped you. Good luck with your job & if you have any questions just ask. Thanks for watching QuantumCairo & subscribe to the channel 👍
Appreciate that Phillip. Yeah there's a ton of other tools but this was a basic list of tools when someone is entering the apartment industry. Glad you enjoyed the list. Thanks for watching & have a blessed day as well. 👍
I just started as a maintenance technician for my school district. I've had years of construction but that's different in a way. This video helps me figure out what I need for my job. I know I don't need a framing hammer for certain jobs. You've listed very great tools for basic jobs. I've added and subtracted things in the last month to my tool bag. Awesome video
I did apt maintenance for two years and what's funny is back then I had fair knowledge but not many tools. I look back on it and wonder how I managed without a few of these. Good list. That putty knife is almost like a multitool how often it can be used -- I also used one of those caulk removal tools with the plastic scraper, metal round scraper/remover and rubber triangle spreader in many ways not suggested by the manufacturer! I'd say this list will handle 95% of the typical work orders. A couple other suggestions would be a good pair of gloves (and maybe nitrile gloves for those more disgusting jobs) plus a hammer and/or rubber mallet for percussive maintenance.
Great ideas & yes those are must have's as well. Hopefully the property provides nitrile gloves, other gloves & anything else like that. The hammer is definitely a must but I wouldn't put it in my top 10 of tools to get started or top 10 tools I use on a daily basis. Appreciate the input & I like when others add their ideas & thoughts. Thanks for watching Readheadliner & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance they should but they weren’t always quick on the stock lol so I’d keep some nitrile gloves of my own around. Never was issued regular work gloves, had to buy my own when I worked there.
@@Redheadliner Yeah I would say some companies aren't good. When you work for a company like that, who isn't concerned about employee safety then it's time to find somewhere else to work.
@@TheRroberson123 Appreciate that. I agree everyone should have a hammer, but I thought to myself it wasn't a tool I use everyday or every week for that matter, like these other tools listed. Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Yeah that's a good tool to own as I have my own as well, but any property I've have ever been to have their own gauges so the video was the basic tools for starting out in apartment maintenance as if you didn't have any tools. Thanks for the input & watching 👍

Good list. I also needed marking pen, hammer, stud finder, and small plastic box to hold nut, bolts, and Molly screws. Tks, Randy
I use Tough Built tool bag to use tech clip to attach most used tools to my belt. They are great. 😁

@@erd675 That's good. You don't hear many guys having experience with towers & chillers in our industry. Congrats man & keep doing your thing.

@@ApartmentMaintenance I was going to say a knife but u said that in the text in the video. Nice job man
