I also own most of these hand tools if not all of them, as I’m a general maintenance contractor in the UK 🇬🇧 Mon to Fri and I renovate houses for myself on evenings and weekends, I buy the best tools as I see it as an investment because they last longer and work better. I have several smaller Veto Tech MCT bags and run each one set up for different trades, Plumbing, Electrical, Joinery and then a General all in one type bag. I find that works well for hand tools as there nothing worse than having a huge bag full of gear and not being able to find what you want, when you want it. Smaller, job specific bags are the way to go. Being organised will make you a better tradesman, bring you better, more well paid, repeat jobs, I tested this theory last year by really trying to organise my van, tools, work flow in general and the last 8 months have earned me almost 50% more than the 8 months previous. It makes you feel better about work too. I can’t recommend it enough, it changed my life in a big way.

I worked my butt off all my and I was to be a warehouse manager at 18 but underpaid so I went into the trades but always felt underpaid and people that didn't work as hard but had fast mouths got paid more. I decided to take a pay cut to work for a brewery and started at the bottom and in 3 years I'm one of the head people more than doubled my pay and the best part is I'm treated great and appreciated. If you ain't making close to your worth move around and find what you like and good people

I like that Klein multi- tool nut driver, I am a lineman for a cable company and I use 1/4 to 1/2" and I have one of each in my bag. Having just one nut driver to carry and still have all the sizes I need is cool. I never knew they made that. Thanks for sharing.

I've wanted one for a while

[@KamTheSparky]

You just need Lineman/kleins, strippers, 11-1 screwdriver, beater screwdriver, 2 pairs of channel locks, torpedo level, tape measure and a voltmeter in your toolbelt. That backpack can stay in the truck. That’s all an apprentice needs at the beginning of his apprenticeship.

[@josephkivett3526]

I start my apprenticeship next week and they gave me a list of tools similar to what you just said. Do you have recommendations on the channel locks to get? I wasn’t sure they meant to say 2 of them till I read your comment so I will defs buy 2 lol

Love how u put the pliers in the top row, I’m gonna repack mine tomorrow doing this way 👍

Enjoy your videos, have the original color bag and alot of the Hand tools you have, hands down the best on the market, pricy but when you work hard you gotta play hard. Don’t have your nice fluke clamp but have the 325 with fluke 875 and 117. They are amazing meters.

[@americanelectrician]

Thank you! It’s the best bag I’ve found by far. Yeah i don’t keep my new meter in there rn I keep it in my testing bag. It’s just easier to not have to worry about it when I’m installing

[@JustinSpakable]

Another great video. I feel like a little kid watching your vids since we have about 90% of the same tools and bags. Im like I HAVE THAT. I HAVE THAT. I ALSO HAVE THAT. its like calm down but in my neck of the woods, everyone looks at me like i have 2 heads w my wera, knipex, o light, veto shit. Theyre like uhhh wtf is that foreign shit. My three favorite sleeper tools that id suggest to you would be the pica dry pencil, holstery belt magnets and the olight arkfeld pro. Thanks for another great video, mr west. And roll that Beautiful beater footage, one more time.

[@Foxtrot-jr5qu]

Overall, nice pick of tools. I do agree that nothing beats Knipex in terms of pliers, cutters, wire strippers etc. and Wera screwdrivers. The only things I don't agree are the backpack and the Fluke. While the backpack is indeed nice, sturdy and very durable, I like my large Milwaukee backpack a lot and I'm thinking about getting the Stanley Fatmax, because it's a bit smaller and it has a removable tool bag inside, which can hold way more tools than most bags I've seen. The Fluke you have looks nice, but it has less features than my $40 Uni-T clamp meter and there's just no way I would spend $200 something that has the most basic features.

[@sparkiegaz3613]

❤❤ got one love it also the swap out panel’s are great ,,trouble is they can get heavy 😢😊😊

With a name like "American Electrician" I would sure expect you to have more American made tools. But you do you

[@americanelectrician]

I know. I’m working on finding more American companies for the other stuff right now. I don’t feel like it’s advertised other than Kleins pliers

[@parkermize]

How did you decide on your joker wrench sizes? I'm used to having a full set of wrenches on my mechanics box. I just left industrial maintenence as an in house guy to be an industrial maint electrician as a contractor. I have to do more install work now. Love your videos.

[@crzydirtyjoedirt1911]

Just watching this is making my back hurt. I think I will stick with my rigid packout and tool pouch.

I’ll do my best 🫡

Bro thanks for the feedback!

[@bruce5406]

What a unit of a loadout, do you recommend the knipex installation pliers you have or the spring ones? (Knipex 13 96 200 SB)

[@americanelectrician]

The ones I have. I don’t like springs tho so if you do then I would do that

[@n3ur0tic881]

Can you put a laptop (16") securely in the front of this bag, and tighten the two straps over it?

[@lylewaters6161]

The part number that you posted for the Knipex cobalt bolt cutters is not the same as the part you showed. This is confusing because you said you also had a similar one that wasn’t as good. Can you please explain more about this because clearly the part number posted is not the same as the one you show in the video. The one in the video doesn’t have the spring in the middle like the one in the link.

[@ashhgetdatcashh]

I have the same bag I like to keep a medical mag with everything I might need I have cold a hot patches just in case I pull my back eye drops burn creams and stuff like that definitely remanded having your own medical kit

[@americanelectrician]

That’s genius. Love this!

[@Penguin545]

Definitely handy to keep a couple Band-Aids and maybe a few ibuprofen close-I’ve had many of my coworkers aske me for Band-Aids as they hold a bleeding knuckle in front of me.

[@cheynebest7028]

Nice kit... no hacksaw? 😢 All good, but I'll make a suggestion of adding the klein tools circuit breaker finder which to bird stones the plug tester.

[@americanelectrician]

Yeah I don’t really ever need a handheld hacksaw and the circuit tracer lives in my second back if I ever need it. Both great tools tho!

[@tinoc6124]

Kline advanced tracer is great, got in a few months ago and used it so many times, very much worth the cost, will pay for itself after a few uses.

[@user-bh2im5hl2i]

Have you tried Wiha’s pliers? I am a plumber and have seen knipex recommended but found Wiha on sale and love them.

She sounds like a keeper still. The panels are a little different. I’d make sure you get the right panels for it to swap out for whatever you need if you do. You really can’t go wrong with veto

Did you end up ruining the blades on the knipex cobolt flush cutters? Ive been thinking about getting a pair for panduit straps (large zip ties) I use on flex duct.

Do your self a favor and step up to the 10in you can cut small locks with it it's so strong

[@Cavett24]

​@@MattHmm-rq6dnI dont think my hand are big enough for how wide the grip gets on larger stuff. If I need 2 hands I use the milwaukee extandable handle bolt cutters. I did just pick up the 71 41 200 i like the angle head. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of 61 01 200 high leverage bolt end cutting nippers I bet you retire the 10".

[@Goliad_Respector]

I wanna get the Wera VDE drivers but I’ve heard the insulation can get in the way versus the slim tip version?

[@americanelectrician]

I don’t think they really get in the way super often except for on breakers. But even then. The slim line don’t have the lines on them for extra grip which is what makes wera special to me

[@americanelectrician]

The wera is more affordable I believe. They’re not expensive at all

[@Murtagh7484]

It's a silent K in Knipex!😂

[@andreasmatt6745]

No, it’s not silent. The right pronouncing is actually with a hard “K” followed by a “ni” like “knee” and “pex”

O light is fire when not using em for weapons. I have two of the arkfelds. The og one and the pro. Both are amazing and well worth the money. A lil more functional than a pen, i will say.
