Classic Electric 'Electrician's Van' tour 2023 | Point Pleasant, New Jersey

[@mcarroll598]

Milwaukee needs to give you some free stuff For all the of stuff you’ve bought and how loyal you are to them!! Wow man!!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Definitely. Occasionally the Milwaukee rep will get me a free t-shirt when they have Milwaukee Day at Good Friend Electric Supply.

[@Anthonyg7sm]

I’m planning on being an electrician and I was wondering what a good down payment rate is ❤

[@godelrt]

The CE in the logo and how it looks like a plug is very clever!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Yup! My friend Wanda came up with that!

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Great van setup. A lot of what you commonly use, and you can see it's ready to deploy. You do some fantastic work. Thanks for sharing.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

My pleasure!

[@ellenpecina983]

Boy as Your Mom I wish you were this organized when you were growing up!!!❤

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Maybe one day!

[@Nahum17good]

Hey Ron, that’s awesome! Thanks so much for inviting us into your van!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

You bet!

[@owenjennings8575]

Great van setup! It looks like a small supply house. Good Stuff!

[@donaldsherman7048]

Thanks!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Thank you very much!

[@mfd254]

Nice work , you do it right But I would have a partition up to protect the driver from flying tools

[@MrKen59]

Love all the toys. Very cool and thank you for the tour.

[@vince6829]

Nice rig…a mini Home Depot on wheels. Love how organized you have things. Very nice!!

[@daveaedion]

Thanks for all the time you put into your videos! Great van tour and great setup.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Glad you like them!

[@andrewleatherman4931]

That “CE” is a fantastic logo. It took me a second to see it, but when I did I could not unsee it. Nice work van!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Thank you very much!

[@jongreen9250]

The day you take that light out of your van that's been there for 5 years you're going to need it. I would recommend you put some kind of rubber cap or something over the tip of the auger to minimize the risk of eye injury. Nice to see how others organize there vehicles for different trades. I do commercial construction but enjoy learning from other trades. Thank you for your videos.

[@richb4099]

Nice.....Your truck is outfitted great....A very big investment.....but when you're on the job it's invaluable....

[@hunterstark9556]

Outstanding video man! Really enjoy your commercial van set up!

[@merllhagard6799]

Kick ass! I was wondering the other day if you had a van tour. Love it. 👌⚡🇺🇲

[@martinheatingcoolingmartin4693]

Great looking setup and video. I love the design, and bartering being self employed works great!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Couldn't agree more!

[@russrockino-rr0864]

Madison bars. Out west we call them "Battleships" Great video, Ron. Thanks, Russ, J.Electrician from Oregon.

[@anthonyelectric6045]

To say you have it covered is an understatement. Us electricians know all to well when your out in the middle of nowhere etc. great job Ron I definitely can relate. I’m also new on board and retired-Thankfully

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Great point!

[@anthonyelectric6045]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey looking forward to more videos. I enjoy a pro electrician going at it good luck 👍

[@MB-ir8xf]

Great van tour! I do recall those Madison Bars as a different name, Madison Hangers.

[@unstableatbest]

Oh my gosh, this is such a good idea for a video. Thank you kindly, good sir! Nice van.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Glad you liked it!

[@achii187]

Awesome video! I’ll be getting a new work van so I’ve been looking for van set up videos and your seems to be the most relatable for how my van would be. Thanks!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Cool man! Good luck!

[@tonystrollo193]

Ron, thanks for tour, your van seems to be very organized. I know vans can get messed up, as mine always did. I really like your setup, and as always I enjoy your videos

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Thanks for watching!

[@WestHaddnin]

Thanks for the ideas. I really want to start my company and I’m dreaming bout a work van.

[@joshman2338]

This is a top notch set up man. I get why you have so much stuff especially if you are a one man show you cant afford to make a supply run sometimes. Nice rig a aspire to own a van set up like this!!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I appreciate that!

[@thetruth4519]

Awesome set up!!!!! Just 1 thing. Pull your packout out first and then pick up your tool bag. Save your back and knees.

[@PaulDziomba]

Thanks for the tour. Very well organized. I prefer metal boxes over plastic as well.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Yup

[@scottjacko87]

Your friend Mike Holmes on the Eaton gear! Nice tour vid. Thanks Ron!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Thanks for watching!

[@Ryan-mj8kc]

Cool van, nice set up. You should consider adding a bulkhead to protect yourself from your material in case you get rear ended

[@davidbush2414]

Which PackOut are you using for the Super Hole Hawg?

[@fatalnsg513]

Sick video!! Wish this guy was my boss seems super cool

[@blackmcgyver7512]

I like the everyting about the Transit an your setup

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Bestofthebest383]

1:03 I wish we had a same law in UK . Here’s anyone can be an electrician without even knowing what a difference between AC & DC voltages

[@cbelectrichandymanservices9992]

Who make the van racks that you keep all your stuff in such as breakers caulking ect

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Ranger!!!

[@mfiels]

Love the dogs, great video!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

You are so kind

[@Arvolash]

Call quick question for you you said anyone not licensed can’t do the electrical work… Does that include say an apprentice who sent to a job site while the master electrician is offsite over the phone?

[@hmrody]

You mentioned in another video, you were a Seabee. Ever stationed at the base in Gulfport, MS?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I was a reservist but I do a two week annual training there in 1993!

[@TheElectrican]

Love the layout one of the best logical ones ive seen on you tube 👍🏻

[@bestill-q5o]

Hmm 🤔 for a electrician i was surprised you didnt had a charging station in your truck is it beter to charge by where you working at so you dont go back and forth ?

[@johnc6343]

My god... you have so many tools Ron! That collection must have taken years to assemble

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Any tool is worth buying if you can afford it AND it’s going to make you money.

[@davidthesparky]

In Canada we call pvc coated MC, tech cable.

[@86aoshi]

Hey Ron is the cordless sds max hammer drill just as good as a corded one? Also does the cordless sds max need the 12ah battery or is 8ah okay?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It’s better than the corded version. The 8.0 ah is fine it’ll put in the work.

[@cedric5323]

I really don't know what van to buy between a Ford Transit, Ram Promaster, Mercedes Sprinter, or even a Grand Caravan, Honda Odyssey.... Based on your experience, what would you guys recommend? Used or New? I live in Canada

[@devindecoste4637]

Amazing set up Ron! Industrial Electrician from Alberta Canada. I always look forward to your videos, some of my favorites. Thanks for all the hard work with your day job and the constant effort with the channel!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I’m glad you like them. 🍺

[@darrylmccorey9646]

His name is Mike Holmes, from Holmes on Homes 🏠 great show 👍🏾

[@B-Rad-l7t]

Nice.

[@TimboStang71]

You need a sponsorship from Milwaukee Packout !!! 😂. Everything looks sick, I am similar being very organized and particular with certain things how my bucket truck is laid out!! 👍

[@SCUBONZIES]

I just found out about extended warranty, IT'S SOMETHING YOU REALLY NEED !

[@Penguin545]

Very nice…. Let’s see Paul Allan’s van….

[@DominicNJ73]

I gotta head down the shore so I can jack those batteries. LOL

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

You loot we shoot.

[@RandleMcMurphy-wm8rt]

What a fantastic setup. Would love to work out of a truck organized like this! Greetings from Hunterdon County

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Thanks for watching!

[@andrewdimauro7352]

I saw those Tub o towels🤣 did you start using those because you saw Jamie Perkins using them ? Because I did the same thing.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I love the Perkins channel too but no, I’ve been using the towels for over a decade.

[@scottjacko87]

Eyy! Another fan of the Perkins Crew! Nice.

[@ranch3727]

can you do a review on your van? we have run a ford e150 bought it brand new in 2007, kinda looking to upgrade. the transit is on the list!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

The Transit is a great but I did have to replace the transmission at 97,000 miles.

[@aaron74]

Man that van is a rolling gold mine, lots of good supplies and tools. That dude is Mike Holmes... only an electrician would say Mike Holt by mistake. Ha ha

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Yeah! I’m a Mike Holmes fan too! He’s a great ambassador to the construction industry.

[@donaldsherman7048]

Good afternoon Ryan, this is Don from Sherman electric and heating and air. I love your videos. They’re very helpful. I’m still wondering if a van is better than a utility truck please let me know when the thing is better. Thank you.

[@donaldsherman7048]

I’m sorry it’s not Ryan my stupid phone when I talk into it it decides to make its own name. It’s supposed to be Ron

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Once you have a van that you can stand in you’ll never go back to anything else.

[@edwinlandy]

Holy Packout Batman!

[@FrontRowOrBust]

Did you happen to catch Talking Sopranos live?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Never bought into paying to see those shows. I’m a huge fan though.

[@mitchellheinricks]

Great video. Nice van. Do you ever have any issues strapping or unloading ladders from the roof rack? Is the mid roof a bit high to reach?

[@Gruntled2001]

First! Thanks Ron!

[@dawnmitchell8213]

Bartering for the win!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It’s the best.

[@godelrt]

There’s more stuff on you van than at a supply house! You call you favorite supply house.. hey you got Maddison Bars? No sir, but you can call Ron.. “Yup I got ‘em in stock.. in my van!” 8:54

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Took me a long time to get this good!

[@jimanderson4495]

I’m drooling over your Milwaukee stash. I’m a M12/M18 guy also, but just a DIY’er. How do you figure a price for a customer on a job when using inventory off you truck? Or do you have an idea of approximate cost of items. Love the content Ron. Thanks. You keep uploading and I’ll keep watching with thumbs up.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

That’s awesome Thanks Jim!

[@Technie87]

Can you go into over what you have in case of theft(insurance, trackers, etc)? I've seen several news articles/ posts showing people's vans being broken into and them losing all their tools 🙁

[@neftalirosado6167]

The complete Home Depot in your van !!! 😃👍🏽

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Almost!

[@gtbr8134]

Is that a medium roof?

[@donaldbassler9862]

broom? what's that for?

[@Lexlugr]

Jealous about some of that gear. You didn't state where that trash can goes in the van, loved that you clean up as you work lol

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It comes in and out of the back of the van. Cleaning up is super important.

[@johnmartinez3076]

Thanks

[@chuckquinn8026]

Team Red! 👍👍 I’m just like you at Depot: Always picking up stuff if it’s on sale. My Milwaukee battery drawer in my garage looks like yours. 1.5 up to 12 AHR. 4 chargers. Excellent view of the van 👍👍 BTW, the dog was wondering who you were talking to 😂😂😂

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I have a bunch of 12’s also but I mostly use them around the house.

[@Bosse_C]

I noticed there is no wall between the driver and the load. Arrent you afraid of what would happen in a collision?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

No.

the barter system is illegal lol. nice truck set up bud

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

How is it illegal.

[@Frankjohn1974]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey Because no tax was collected of course. it was meant to be a joke but I do think its illegal to trade services without paying taxes.

Hey Ron , I am a fully qualified electrician from UK, I have my small business . Please some advise if I can setup my business in USA ?

[@mateopena9262]

all Milwaukee wow you have everything more organized 90% more tham me milwaukeeeee see this man give at special gif

[@samfish6938]

a lot of new milwakie batteries come from store not working i have had to bring back several

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Not me. I had a few 9ah batteries fail prematurely but Milwaukee warranted them.

[@aerofart]

Nice rig, Ron. Very well equipped. Did you build the rack/shelves yourself or did you have it custom designed and installed? Are you ever concerned about having a protective barrier between the cab and the cargo area? Seems like having a bunch of metal flying into the back of your head at 40+ mph due to a traffic collision would be a hazard.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I’ve never had anything hit me from behind if that’s what you’re asking. The shelves were installed when I bought the van and they were very expensive. They’re good and strong but next time I’ll build my own and custom build for Packout.

[@christopher20008]

You really like Milwaukee

[@tonymontana6734]

Badass ful

[@jeffmoss26]

Wow!

[@jeffmoss26]

Do I spy some WoE stickers?!

[@bpmunroe]

“I don’t know what that’s doing there”. “This goes somewhere else”. “That doesn’t go there”. Sounds like me when I am cleaning out my work boxes.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It just means you’re working.

[@rileycoble5842]

I find it crazy how you get fines and prison time for electrical for not having a license. I wired my whole house myself with my basic knowledge of electrical and learned more as I went. Passed the inspection with flying colors and was told that I over killed it all with how many separate circuits I had for everything. Lmao. Well I can guarantee that I won’t ever overload a breaker especially in the kitchen.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Is it crazy to fine person for driving without a license? It’s the same concept. Laws are in place for a reason.

[@samfish6938]

maderson bars drop them they are dangerous you can use plastic spacers to keep outlets from pushing in

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Madison Bars are solid if you know how to install them properly.
