Apprentice's Electrician Tools

Electrician tools: Christopher sharing his electrician's tool bag with his collection of tools.

[@jakeleibold2187]

You can just tell that this young guy has lots of potential. I have one guy that is very similar, and I am lucky to have him.

[@nsheehy9953]

Chris sounds like he's been an electrican for years.

Welcome to the tool addiction club chris

[@kamiskenaw4340]

Always.

[@mikenormandy9250]

THat Mini-Electrical ratcheting screwdriver by Klein is one of the best tools out there. It has replaced my stubby screwdrivers and EVERYONE always asks me to borrow it for low-profile, tight spaces!

[@JoeBlack-if3tz]

When the apprentice has a more professional setup than his boss.

[@youngman7655]

Me right know lmao

[@stonedsloth6367]

then gets beaten around by the boss

[@doublet9212]

Here’s my apprentice’s tool bag along with my unneeded opinion on every other tool.

Santronics 3000 Ultimate AC Sensor 50-1000VAC .big fan of tig tester.also for year one you have great quality tools. stay safe and rock on.

[@kone.linngus3651]

At 2:44 Chris mentions a specific tool being comfortable in his hands. That's half the reason why I Snap-on tools: when you're wrenching 12-14 hour days, the ergonomics of Snap-on tools make an incredible difference. I also use Craftsman and Kobalt hand tools too, but I live three miles from a Lowes and they own/honor both tool manufacturers and hand tools warranties.

Thank you we’re proud of you kris we learn from you sir

Hema stats are just what i need, Cheers mate from the UK

[@danieljohnson6684]

The Klein gfci tester with voltage readout is great for trouble shooting

[@bloodsongsToolreviews]

The Whia non contact voltage tester is the best one yet.

[@heightskings6693]

HOLD the phone , that’s a gutter for a tool shelf ... genius

[@tommymack3210]

10:07 bruh no. Never work hot unless someones life is in absolute danger. I would never. In Norway we have 3 wires to switches and outlets. Phase wire, neutral wire and ground wire. With my Fluke I can put it on resistance(ohm) and shut off the fuse by putting the fluke tips on phase wire and ground(or neutral) wire. Easy. I never work hot unless absolutely needed.

[@artomix7]

It's not ideal, but granted the standard house voltage is 120V in the US compared to the 230V in Norway I believe, so it is significantly less dangerous although definitely not preferred. I'd be a lot more scared to work live in Norway.

[@mikenormandy9250]

@@artomix7 120V actually kills more people than any other voltage. A lot of people become to complacent around it, thinking "well, it's ONLY 120, I'll be fine" You are right, Never work live, it is NOT ideal but shit happens and sometimes you just have too...

[@edwardwhite8476]

Milwaukee and fluke both make awesome no contact testers I believe both available on Amazon

[@andrewsalazar98]

Nothing beats Veto. My only complaint is how heavy it can get especially with the larger versions like my Tech XL. I ended up buying a dolly to lug it around the job site.

[@brendanleonard1375]

I may want to learn to be an electrician when I graduate high school! I was seriously considering becoming an automotive technician but job opportunities for an electrician are better and I think it would still be a rewarding career for me. The car industry to me seems a little unstable, while also having good opportunities but being an electrician seems to be more of a stable career path and there seems like there are a lot more avenues to go. I still have time to choose and it has caused a lot of stress but thank you for your videos because they help me figure out what may be a good choice for me. And I would love to work on cars, and I can still do just as a hobby. Plus, if I knew electrical, maybe I would know how to safely work on an EV or something haha. These videos give me hope I will find a rewarding career. One thing I learned form the pandemic is that I want to travel and do things rather than look at a computer ALL DAY! I just can't focus and if I can go and help people, that is what I love to do! Maybe sometime far far away, I could own my own business. :) Thank you!

Thnaks for the videos, always good to see what other people like, as a UK electrician i like a lot of Klein, Wera, CK, screwdrivers im a big fan of wiha !

Learned my lesson on paddle bits in an impact. Use your drill, the collet will fuck up, stop holding your bits properly

Get the knipex alligators, thank me later knipex better than klein

[@Ls1z28]

Try Rack A Tiers 99000 glow stick. I’ve had good luck with it and it doesn’t pick up stray voltage from my experience.

[@the2Atreeclimber]

Fluke tick tester is the best. Also the best meters

Хороший инструмент видно что человек им работает а то некоторые показывают как будто только что с витрины сняли а говорят что работают им каждый день. Молодец хорошо показал. Привет из России

[@edwardwhite8476]

Both have built in led lights that are as good as a flashlight

[@Panda74gofaster]

Men… is it possible to have a kit list in the details and a slight price near it for man-budgeting. Great tech tool kit set up.

[@kevinz8867]

[@JOsephtheGoatLetsGo]

Good luck gents

[@mikhailwilkerson7822]

Get the Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver Nice fastback theyre the best

[@bloodsongsToolreviews]

Personal y I started with a shoulder strap tote bag kinda thing and moved onto backpacks because I work with a tool belt

[@mikemikel1986]

Привет. 3:00 минута - как называется шлиц на отвертке?

[@Jacoby559]

6:26 I have a kobalt tigtester, haven’t used it much yet but is a 100x better than Klein

[@mahdavimail]

It was awsome when you said I use my fingernails 😂😂😂😂😍

[@stuartvasquez6404]

Hey brother I’m sorry to bother you but I was just wondering my local IBEW isn’t taking applications at the moment and even if they do I don’t know if I’ll be able to get in. Is there any other option for me to become a licensed electrician without the IBEW? Could I get the same sufficient schooling somewhere else without their apprenticeship?

[@S62Uce]

Find a trade school near you, and apply to any and every electric company. You’ll get experience on the job while you learn and get ET certified. I’m in Cali, landed a job at tesla doing solar/power wall installs.

[@pwnage549]

I work for a non-union company that offers an apprenticeship program. There are a lot of industrial contractor companies outside of the union that offer an apprenticeship. It’s a 4 year program through NCCER and by the end of it you’ll have 8000 hours on the job experience and 6000 hours of school which will put you in a great position to test for licensing! Goodluck, kinda wish I was union for the benefits but I’m working year round with plenty of overtime and heard there are a lot of guys sitting in my local currently

[@the2Atreeclimber]

When you're doing a box do you seriously use the crimp tool on ur linemans to crimp ground wires?

[@jimmac1185]

I use greenies. Ground barrels are a pain in the ass.

[@calebbigelow7556]

My question is, why is an apprentice with less than a year experience doing hot work?

[@obedenrique2265]

I don’t even have a year, and I do hot all the time. Lol

[@m.korkusuz4109]

@@mikewendell4748 cuz an apprentice is not qualified or allowed to do that by law.

Hey who makes those hemostat pliers that ratchet lock like that?

[@pcv35]

can you let me know who makes the tool featured 20:15?

[@uppercutshurt5199]

Makita. I have the same thing but other brands make it too

[@18436572smallblock]

Love the video but it was kinda rude his boss keeps raggin on his tools. He obviously is tryin he bought the bag already like relax key word “ apprentice” just give him a break he sounds like a good kid

[@ellis1459]

For a first year apprentice whenever this was filmed, Chris sounds really clued up on what’s what. I noticed the guy nit picking at shit but like Chris was saying it works and he likes the tools he’s working with.

[@brianlocal3]

I never heard his boss rag on him Opposite actually. His journeyman seems to really like Chris and respect him as an apprentice. What you are hearing is someone’s other opinion on certain tool and also good natured ribbing
