Top 21 Tools Of 2024(so far)

[@bradw0535]

Great options all around! Really like seeing Klein dump all the new products into the marketplace! Thanks for the video!

[@americanelectrician]

Thanks for the feedback! I love the new options from Klein

[@toddwest6711]

Klein pass through sockets - yes!

[@americanelectrician]

The pass through sockets are great

[@morganmerritt8846]

Agree about the pass through set. Really good weight and size reduction for traveling electrician. Grab the ratcheting 11 in 1 for the compatible nut driver option.

[@russrockino-rr0864]

Blue in (Black,Red,Blue) or Yellow in(Brown, Orange, Yellow) =6 or multiples of 6 or one less than 6. EX: 35 or 36 is blue or yellow, depending on voltage system. From there you can figure out any other number fairly quickly.(There were no ph apps when I Started,lol) That is how I learned the numbers to mark wire in a panel. I never even thought of having it on a tape measure. Thanks for sharing, Russ, 29 years in the Electrical Trade!

The klein flip socket set is the one ill disagree with you on. While its handy in theory it sucks for holding panel screws for large switchboards. Had it and was using it during an infrared inspection it kept dropping bolts so much it came out easier and faster to take a strip of 33 on the bolt head and a regular 3/8 socket on a ratchet to put the dead front back on

[@mvilla235]

Curious, I also have the DP3. Amazing pouch. How do you typically “wear” it? With the belt clip or loop? With the clip I feel it pulls me down but I hate having to use a belt all the time to hold it up nice. Defeats the purpose of being able to easily take it off and back on. Thanks.

[@Thinkableness]

I stay away from them the leather makes me sweat

[@PrecursorYang]

You should check out Koken socket wrenches. They make some really good wrenches. I like their wobble-fix extensions and nut grip sockets.

[@americanelectrician]

I’ve heard of them! I’ll have to check them out

[@shadow13265]

I agree koken has really good ratchets and some unique tools

[@mvevitsis]

They literally invented wobble fix

[@PrecursorYang]

@@mvevitsis They did, and companies like Snap-On pay them royalties to use their designs.

[@dannyrbailey]

I chose the 3/8 mod box over the 1/4. I prefer its bigger size for more leverage. Also the Milwaukee multi strippers, they go up to 10 stranded

[@americanelectrician]

I actually have them! The video hasn’t dropped yet but they’re great

[@mcluvin28x]

the Milwaukee 7 in 1 wire strippers are 🔥

[@rudylacarl7975]

Nice video! I finally caved on getting the channelock strippers, and I carry then in my radio holster at work daily now! Love how compact those things are. The 1/4 socket set is next on my list to pick uo

[@americanelectrician]

The 1/4 set is great! I love those little strippers.

[@timothymunz929]

I watch your videos because I love tools, but I personally don't do electrical. the metric klein 7-1 shaft and the 1/4' pass through set have had my eye for a while, would be very useful on my chopper lol

[@timothymunz929]

Also, its pronounced Kuh-nip-ex

[@elray3968]

Do a review about in wall circut tracing tools review. Please thank you.

[@benjaminabel8596]

13:33 says how much better these tools are from harbor freight and proceeds to pull out the Doyle pliers from Harbor Freight ($14 on sale) but rebranded. (Look at the V-grooves on the side). That and the Doyle level is pretty much the same as the Greenlees level and has stronger magnets than the Milwaukee levels.

[@americanelectrician]

The Greenlee isn’t similar to the Doyle at all

[@benjaminabel8596]

@@americanelectrician You mean the level? Not the same, but heck, it’s a level. Most of the features that the greenlee or any level has, the Doyle has. But about those pliers, take a look. They are twins with the Doyle.

[@LATiNSkILLZ]

when you say no dog what do you refer to the screw with the plum bubble ?

[@mischaknopfel2949]

You should try the Weidmüller Stripax they are the BEST wire strippers

[@Chappy1994]

I have a fluke 378fc is about 2 years old now and the bottom half of the screen has stopped working fluke have said they do not repair and i have to buy a new meter extremely dissapointing considering the price point

[@sabreoneopeneing]

Im of the same opinion as you when it comes to water pump pliers but a fried, who is a plumber, gave me a good argumet for the older style. (how to explain it... Not the ))))) style but rather the OOOOO) Hes thoughts was that it were to small incroments on the push style making it harder to fine the right setting rather than if you work on one size bigger pipe it was one step up on the plier. He also agreed that for anything else than pipes the push version was way better. thanks for an interesting vieo!

[@CultureStress]

Does that tape come in a Canadian version? We're red black blue by code

[@SwitzG43]

you should check out the knipex auto adjusting pliers they will change your life

[@americanelectrician]

I just put it on the list🙌🏼

[@GustyOinker]

Such a great video. Thank you sir.

[@americanelectrician]

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback

[@JonardTools]

Excellent video! Love the Fiberglass Fish Tape!

[@americanelectrician]

Thank you!

[@jacobjohnson2948]

I can’t be the only one that finds klein quality has gone to shit in the last couple of years. Used to rep a lot of klein and now I seem to have replaced pretty much everything american made with European stuff overtime…

[@Omarthecrowbar84]

All for who glory

[@fabianfonseca4305]

Those greenlee pliers are Doyle’s from harbor freight

[@Charlie-xw7od]

Bro u need to check out the byrd hawkbill knives i believe it the byrd meadowlark which is spydercos affordable line comes in fully serrated

[@americanelectrician]

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll put it on the list to check out!

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

Push button pliers even KNIPEX water pump pliers I have had the button/spring break out. Also big thing to me is the tongue/groove versions open way wider in each position if needed vs push button ones. Also throw the BAHCO 8” adjustable wrench in as well awesome tool !

[@justinkase1360]

I have the Klein pass through set and I'm not impressed. It's fine to use as a ratchet set or on you ratcheting Klein screwdriver, but it really sucks on an impact. The pieces do NOT stay together well. I might take it off of a 7/16 nut after tightening and the socket will come off of the extension, for instance. I recommend the one-piece Klein hollow magnetic impact drivers.

[@cleasonleasure4832]

Ratching wrenches work just fine, 50 years, 40 as a master and union!

[@cleasonleasure4832]

Also unless u work for yourself, buying all these tools is helping ur employer. What benefits do you get?

[@360theosiris]

Metric system: 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, .. Imperial: 3/8, 9/16, 34 squared, log(45), 8 to the power of 3, … Sure, makes sense

[@americanelectrician]

I thought you were going somewhere till you said 34 squared and log(45). That’s math not imperial

[@360theosiris]

@@americanelectrician Well duh, of course it is. 😁 My point is, you might as well be using that as measurements because neither make any sense for that purpose. Btw imperial divisions are math too, they’re divisions. E.g 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2. Which I’m sure you know very well, just saying it’s all maths my friend. Just one of the systems makes sense and the other is horrendously overcomplicated 😁

[@91rickybaker]

Need to get some of those pass thrus!

[@americanelectrician]

The pass through is great

[@curonelectricity]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jro21]

Do you ever work? lol tools clean af

[@americanelectrician]

Sometimes

[@americanelectrician]

Most of these tools are actually relatively new. All of them are from the past 6 months. I also clean pretty frequently because I work in some pretty nice areas and don’t want to track dirt around

[@owenweikert4588]

Bro makes the same video rinse and repeat

[@americanelectrician]

I’d love to see the first version of this video

[@GBlaque]

Sex sells 😂

[@americanelectrician]

I wish this wasn’t so accurate 😂

[@yaroslavduck8882]

First🎉

[@americanelectrician]

You rock

[@randomishlala999]

These videos have become repetitive and lackluster. I get it may be a tool showcasing channel, but it just seems like its all a shill. Great that you may be making money, but offer something to the viewer outside of these showcasing videos. Perhaps something beneficial like tutorials, or advice, tips and tricks... etc. You're doing nothing for the community other than farming clicks. All your thumbnails are the same and you recreate the same video every 3 weeks with new ref links. Boring, sorry.

[@americanelectrician]

That’s fine but informative videos don’t do well. I spent a ton of time and money on a video testing sets of tools but it’ll never matter because no one sees it because no one clicked on it. The point of it is to add value but it doesn’t matter how much value there is if no one ever sees it. You have all my tool list videos pop up because that’s what does well and gets exposure.

[@cleasonleasure4832]

Electricians make the tools not the tools make the electrician

[@GBlaque]

Except when the electricians don’t have the tools and they ask the apprentice to borrow theirs lol. I know from experience.

[@liamblood5239]

True, but at the same time, you can tell a lot from someone who takes pride in their tools and invests in them. I don’t know many people with great tools are shitty tradesmen

[@cleasonleasure4832]

@@liamblood5239 how long u been in the trades? 50 years and have seen guys with the most tools not the best hands.

[@alexgaspar9562]

No true when you start is better to buy quantity tools sure you can cheap out but is better to invest early that will make you a better electrician down the line

[@morefrankgore21]

Working with electricians who try and make the wrong tool work…. They suck.

[@grantleach8421]

​@morefrankgore21 hammer? You mean a pair of linemans

[@americanelectrician]

@@grantleach8421 a hammer is fine. You can not turn a pair of lineman’s into a flat head screwdriver. Therefore no the electrician does not make the tool. He just puts it to work
