Recently i have found myself as a handy women and being self taught i had no reference on how to organize my tools. I tried buckets with organizers based on job but hate rummaging. This looks great! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

11:49 “I’m a Dewalt guy” 🤔 Brother, that’s a lot of red for a Dewalt guy.

I use the exact 15" bag you have here and I love it.... People slam Milwaukee bags, but I like them for the ability to snap into your other packout gear and not fly around the truck. As a handyman I have a very similar set-up in my bag.... and I love the M12 drill/driver you have here. I use it all the time while my M18's sit in the van.... Great video!

Just is this de Walt in the middle of Milwaukee packout boxes 🤣

All great improvement points. 100% agree. I use this bag for HVAC.

My boxes looked like that , then I decided I don't need to care 7 of the same thing , I used to have a crew and now by my self I care answer of tools and a back up of things in case I loose or break something but I cut way down on carrying so much. I do have setups in garage in case I have a longer job I can leave a set there and keep a set with me at all times 🤙

Those DeWalt circ saws are trash I hate them my Milwaukees are so much better the DeWalt's throw dust all over you

Damn this is a great tool bag video. Good job.

Thank you for taking the time--very useful information from someone who obviously knows what they are doing.

I had these in my amazon cart for a couple weeks, and they sold out before I bought them, and then I bought Channellock's 4½inch No.424 , which have been great pliers!

5:05 That slide-out shelf in the truck is sick, all your gear totally accessible like that? Love it. Is that shown at full extension in the clip? How much weight can it handle?

I love that drill bit index. Are there inserts available that allow you to customize the case?

Good kit to have around, I used to have this toolkit in my drawer at work. Came in handy.

Nice setup! So what happens when you pick up supplies like a toilet or sheets of plywood?

Zero room for material

Wera tools are just better ngl

You had the same cons, as I did.

U actually use your tools

Where are you located and are you looking for a helper?

I have a Felo T-handle just like yours (its a Torx25 rather than for 1/4" bits but the handle is exactly the same) and it often gets used for removing disc rotor bolts on mountain bikes. Its not for extra torque but for getting all my weight into the tool when I have to remove a bolt with a worn/partially rounded (cammed out) head.

Had these for years, I have 3 or 4. They never let me down when needed, might be the newer stuff that's coming out I'm guessing.

My version of the Rigid Plumbing tool has paid for itself in Apt. maintenance.. The metal ends pop out for different uses (sink or tub drains), or the entire piece can straddle a hose up behind a sink; makes working alone easier ~

Doug Demuro would approve of that intro or maybe Hoovie!! Truck looks great btw!! 👍

This seems like a real case of 'your mileage may vary' - most of those tools or similar get used by me on a regular basis in a light engineering/mechanics workshop. OK, not that weird Ridgid plumbing tool, but small hacksaws, step drills, needle nose locking pliers, soft hammers, stubby screwdrivers - all essential everyday tools as far as I'm concerned. And the claw tool is good for unblocking drains!

That type of hammer is good for assembling steel frame garage shelving, assembling some flat-pack furniture, and woodworking with dowels and some other joints. I use small needle-nose vice grips too but not for "handyman" stuff.

Like you said, it's a work in progress, I find I'm always changing the way I store my tools and parts. Just got the Milwaukee Pack out drawers and starting all over again trying to figure where everything should go. Very nice set up you have on your truck gave me some ideas, Thanks.

Apartment maintenance here, the flex extender (non-right angle) has been invaluable to me

What model is this bed slide ?

Great. Now I have to buy some flat pack furniture! 😜

I'm not new to tools and was just going to click off the video. Then you said challenge at the end, so I watched... OK, while I may have more tools, your suggestions here are almost the same as what I recommend those new homeowners or those starting out on their own. Challenge accepted. I have donated tools and have given basic kits similar to this away. Excellent video.

You need both left and right snips to make clean cuts. One cuts clean to the left and the other cuts clean to the right and doesn't matter in you are right or left handed lol

As a plumber's experience in new construction and repairs I think the only one of those tools that still come in handy once in a while are the stubby screwdrivers. I think most of those situations came into play installing large 120 gallon solar water heaters. They can take over 50% more space than regular ones and retrofitting them sometimes reduces alot of clearances on electrical issues.

I keep my Klein flip sockets on my stubby so it takes up less room. I rarely need the stubby and the flip sockets usually get put on an impact driver, but if it’s just one odd bolt I can just use the stubby handle with the flip socket. Klein makes a very small ratcheting driver that I love. It doesn’t get used much, but when it does it is the only tool for the job. Used it today to take the backplate off some 2x4 ceiling grid lights that were under ductwork. Stubby was too tall to get on it.

A stubby screwdriver is perfect for a jobsite where people like to borrow your things, ain't nobody snatching that piece of work 😂😂

Been checking your videos out, like your style with plenty of expierence, it shows, I’ve got 45 years, same kinda work, with still the same truck (70 Chevy 1 ton) loaded with everything possible too, I’m laughing at what you don’t use, think I’ll go through my truck and do the same, there’s a lot in there I haven’t touched for a long time, work I really rather not do to at my age… haha

I use my hand tools everyday. The biggest reason I’d recommend to go with brands like Knipex and Wera, is wear and tear on your body. They work so much more efficiently you feel it. All my channellocks and cheap screwdrivers have been donated. Get the upgraded handles on Knipex pliers. They grip with no effort, less fatigue. The wire cutters cut smooth, no snap at the end that damages your hands and wrist.

Honest review of tools bought with hard earned money . The first product is sold in lndia as kitchen drain cleaner/tangled hairball remover. But it can be used for odd jobs by attaching a small magnet in the grip . The odd hacksaw can be used by reversing the blade with teeth in inside direction and at constrained spaces where you keep on slipping/ missing the mark . The offset screwdrivers cannot be used properly but an offset spinner can be given a try . Wooden mallets are always better than rubber mallets .

I think the tilt out pocket for M12 batteries. Do they fit in there good?

You need a box with different size toggle bolts I have one on my truck and it comes in handy and a box with furniture repair parts

You can see the truck lower after each one is added lol. They must be loaded?? I always felt like most of the people who make these videos don't use these goddamn things lol. But it appears yours are full

I have the same rubber mallet, I use the crap out of that thing

Of course, this doesn't apply to all handyman because they all have different levels of skill. I have more than 10 years as a handyman. (1) I own a flex claw and never used it either. I tend to use my magnet extender more to reach for screws. (2) I use a mallet alll the time to install vinyl plank, laminate, and to hit on delicate things like a glass door that is requiring new rollers or framing, etc. (3) lmao i own that rigid plumbing tool and never used it once. And i really wanted it. (4) i use the mini hacksaw all the time when i need to cut something quick. Ive been in a few situations where the mini havksaw was the only thing that wouid do the job. It is a necessary tool for me. (5) ive never needed the needlenose vise grips. But they are good for servicing my tools, such as pinching off gas lines. I do landscaping as well. (6) i use snips all the time not just on sheet metal. I keep a straight pair for general work like installing duct or gutters. They also cut plastic and other thick material. They are essential in my kit. (7) step bits are absolutely fundamental. I use them a lot for custom work like drilling holes into metal in order to secure it to something. (8) the screwdriver can be used for all kinds of things. The sceew driver you have is a matter of preference, nothing more. (9) the T handle is the same case. Some guys use them, though it is not common. (10) never owned or needed a flexible right angle attachment. I do use my dewalt right angled attachment all the time. (11) the offset screw driver is another case of preference. I think most people tend to use the flat head more, for outlet covers. (12) I use the stubby all the time. Especially when installing ceiling fans because on some mounting covers you can't get to it any other way. The stubby is a fundamental part of my kit.

Thanks for putting the time to show us the setup. Great idea for others to build upon. Keep it up

where do u keep ur push cart?

I agree 100%

you said the customer buys all consumables, does that mean you use whatever they buy? or do you send them you bill of materials for every project?

Those arelittle hacksaws come in very handy when you're cutting the hold down bolts after they've been tightened tightened down a few times.. especially if you have a sink cabinet right on top of you

Very similar to my DIY set up, I found myself over packing my tote & tool belt in the past. Nice & simple👍

If you like this design get the Channel Locks version they will actually work and their adjustable wrenches are better too, made in Spain like blue point or snap on

How did you mount the mounting plates to the bed slide?
