Thank you Lance. this will be in my playbook. Watchin from Canada.

Hey Lance, how do I get that pink Milwaukee breast cancer awareness Knife ?

Hi you help me a lot thanks I am now a fire alarm tech.

So everyone knows too...in Calif as of 2024..pay is different..installers range from 20-45 and hr....service guys are the same range..and Install and svc managers are salary..starting 75k and up to 90k

What about being hired on as a Network Engineer who's job is to program the Access Controllers and peripherals to the controllers and troubleshooting, etc. I have a interview soon for this position that also includes IP cameras but my curiosity is the fire detection and response systems. Anything you can share on this asap would be great. Thanks!

This guy is so cool, god dam. Thanks for the video

As a tech of 35 years experience the only thing I disargee with is the need for new techs to splash out for a Fluke meter. You need a decent quality multimeter, don't get a cheap one, ever. But you don't NEED a Fluke.

Great vid. Thanks for the tips. Thumbs up 👍

Hi , How long would you advise staying at one company if you want to move up in terms of salary and skils?

Good information.

My Kleins wire stripper been going on 4 years not needing a replacement.

Fluke is so pricey, I’ll do it though

Thank you sir! I start mañana at my job!

Hi I am in canada , thanks for your tips you really helped me .

I start tomorrow as a fire alarm tech helper.😎😎

Thanks for this tips. I’m a 3rd year apprentice in a high voltage apprenticeship but seriously considering going into commercial fire instead. Glad I found your channel.

Working as an apprentice now, your videos are definitely helpful

Not enough keys to start my fire keys, that’s probably the harder part

Great content.

Starting at siemens next month

Hi brutha! Hey I just finished school for my electrical technician certification, and was wondering about getting into fire alarm tech career. Where would i apply or what company would be a great starting point? I'm eager to utilize what i've learned and find this industry interesting. I'm in the Houston,Tx area.

Hey are there any courses or licenses that you suggest a beginner fire alarm techs should go for ?

Hell ya good vid man

Going through a bunch of your vids man, I just started as a fire alarm tech a week ago and you're very helpful thanks!

If it’s not Klein it’s not mine.

Yo we want to see more content! Keep it up.

Keep uploading. Vids are great

The nicet bit was the best piece of advice!

Ive been a service tech for 5 years lol I only carry cuts, 11-1, phone and meter. tape, tweakers, pens/sharpie/soldering iron, i keep in my shirt pockets. no pouch for me lol

Thank you. I start this job tomorrow

Hello lance. I am an alarm tech with 6months and I just finished my fire cert. I am looking for a company . I have been offered Kitchen and as well as regular fire tech. in terms of money and lobar input which do you think is best.

You are underrated

UEI makes some really nice meters. We use them at my employer as an HVAC tech.

How do you like the grip with the glows wearing gloves, Are they slippery?

Hi dear. I’m watching all your videos,very informative. I’m getting ready to start the Fire Alarm System as career. I just start applying for jobs now. I have a question,you said we should collect the keys,how do you get the keys or who supposed to give you the keys 🔑.

Texas ? Bruh, you lost me. I have been in the Fire Life Safety industry since 1989. It's different in California better know what your doing (inspectors). Anyone who take inspectors (or any job titles he mentioned) you will not last. Service is like S.O.F, your deep past the wire, poor intel, limited resources, and you have to same the day. Installators are grunts. Run and shoot surplus aint but a click away. Be cool with the locals. I love this industry.

I’d say you hit the nail on the head with basic tools. These are all things I also use in the field. I work mainly residential new construction and installs when customer moves in.

Pink tape…that was a mistake 😂 oh man, I felt that

Great tip. Like the channel. Good for the industry

Experience beats time any day because not everyone uses there time the same and in some cases longer time creates complacency. And I like to say that practice makes habit because I’ll never be perfect.

What is a nice set?

I swear I saw this guy save a fish from drowning. He's a good guy

Reminder guys over wire, if you need a loop of wire you double the measurement :)

Comment below and list the basic tools I missed! I’ll start, I forgot sheet rock knife it completely slipped my mind. I put links to most of the stuff in the description.

Yeah the pricing would've been nice to say that pms can make up to 120k, sales people can make up to 200k if they sell their ass off. Designers have cad guys that make 20 an hr...and then the guy who stamps it makes 75k-150k. but pretty spot on 🤘

He's such a good guy. He saved my puppy from a burning building one time.

First.
