    Great review video. Master electrician from Texas...been in the trade for 38 years and never used anything but Klein leather pouches. I went with this set-up and it's great. I just don't know how you got by for 17 years without a second bag (some call them 'diddy' bags here) for all the wirenuts, fittings , etc. Great review, thanks.

My Klein tools tool belt has the right side completely filled with tools and the left side has my NCVT, big screwdrivers and all the screws, marettes, wire crimps, connectors and I'm still wondering wich bigger one should I choose lol

    @garethwatson7999 3 года назад

    I’ve been using the CK tools, tool belt for a bit now and that is pretty similar to this Milwaukee one, fairly big and bulky, back support type belt and decent size pockets, metal hammer loop etc etc, took me a bit of getting used to but now I won’t go back to having a smaller tool belt, first thing every morning I fill my belt with what tools I’ll need for the job in hand and leave my tote in the van, where I used to have to take my tote with me.
    I’m currently converting over to Packout as I only use Milwaukee M12-M18 tools so it makes sense to go in full bore!
    Love the vids man, cheers! 🍺👍

      Tool belts aren't everyone cup of tea sometimes the snickers pants does the job for me too unless I'm working on large panels then I need all my tools to hand. I have a few videos on the shed if you check through my list. I did a bit on it in the work shop tour, there are also videos on setting it up and painting the floor.

    I have that set up, and I almost hate it, and I've got almost all Milwaukee tools. The Velcro on the cushion is falling apart, the metal rings on the belt are falling out, and the belt in the back is falling apart where I hang my impact. And I've had this set up for less then a year. I am really disappointed, and I'm looking for a new setup.

      @@bryceowens2423 I prefer the contractor as I can carry bunch of what I need to install inside of it. It's slightly bigger on one side than the sparkie one but not cumbersome at all in the ladder. Less step down to climb back just to get x o y thing I could carry in it. And for finition stuff, I usually just suggest a side pouch to carry only what needed to avoid scratching anyway too.
      The sparky belt is fun but I hate how everything is too tight together when most of your stuff is in, hard to carry extra stuff in it. And when you drop your one single item you have within the pouch, GL retrieving it easy if you have all your screwdrivers and all in it haha.
      Only reason I got the contractor one was because I had a deal for it and turned out to be awesome lol.

    No reason to wear belts if you cherish your hips. Also no reason to load any pouch beyond 10 pounds worth of junk. You work in stages and complete things in stages. Planning stage, route/holes, rough in, finishing. If wearing a belt be sure to use suspenders. Used a belt and pouch for 3 months, then said F+++ it while it took 3 months for my hips to stop causing pain.
