Electrician’s Tool Bag Update

[@americanelectrician]

Great load out. I am always interested in those beehive bags. Good content!

[@rexgreenleaf]

Appreciate it man, I enjoy your videos too. Great bags, very high quality and they last forever. Also excellent capacity for longer tools/power tools across the bottom.

[@LemonEatingKow]

Good to see an update. Digging that little level. I use the pen sized pocket one but it has seen the inside of the washing machine too many times.

[@rexgreenleaf]

My biggest fan. Doesn’t sound very ‘level’ anymore... get it? Level.

[@2h0p3r]

Would love another full tool update, want to see all the gear and your setup Coming into my 4th and final year and need ideas 😂

[@rexgreenleaf]

Maybe soon, setup hasn’t changed too much. Show me your set up!

@@rexgreenleaf running same pouch similar set up, packout rolling box and tote bag full to brim, dewalt 54v hammer drill and grinder with 18v drill and impact

[@peterevans8194]

Nice set of tools and a great video, but do yourself a huge favour and get a shoulder harness for that tool belt...They make a huge difference when you're carrying a load pouch like that..

New and useful information

Thank you ⚡️

Did you ski in Fernie BC Canada? Great out of the way place

[@rexgreenleaf]

Yeah I lived there for a couple of years. Beautiful part of the world and can’t wait to go back

@@rexgreenleaf lots of Aussie and Kiwis at all the local hills here in Vancouver, plus very common in Whistler. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. All the best

Which ferrule crimp do you have? I got the knippex hex style and I’m not a fan - only has 3 very sharp thin bands were it crimps. Not happy for a $300 tool!

[@rexgreenleaf]

I believe this blue set are made by Cabac, part number HNKE10. From memory they were about $80-$90 I recently picked up a very similar set on Amazon for under $20, the work exactly the same and I have had no issues with them yet. Just search ‘Bootlace Crimer’ on Amazon, heaps of options. Good luck

[@liamcalemari4579]

@@rexgreenleaf exact same experience with me, ive had two cabac crimpers but rivets have gone on them within a year, i have a black amazon pair for $29 with 1000 bootlace crimps, and these have lasted me 2 years and still going

[@haydman9813]

hey mate love the vid, how big is the bag?

[@rexgreenleaf]

Thanks mate. 620x270x280 www.beehivevinyl.com.au/platinum-hmb/

[@tinkrizmanic2747]

How do you like that E-05181 pouch? Seems like a good deal at 30 euro. Is it holding up after use?

[@rexgreenleaf]

I have the older style one and I think it’s great. Still holding up with daily rough use, probably about 3 years old now

[@lordfreedom001]

Hi, what s type of makita pounch? it has two metal clips for level and tape measure? thanks

[@rexgreenleaf]

Hey mate this is the one. E-05181 Ultimate Electricians Pouch It only has one tape clip, the on their clip is built into the level.

[@SqwarkParrotSpittingFeathers]

Why do some KZbinrs bash their tools down? But, enjoyed the vid.

[@leeb.7188]

That small pry bar at :49 that you called a breaker bar, the common name is a “cat’s paw.”

[@Decktrio]

What's that bell end tool called? Do you have a link? I've never seen anything like it.

[@rexgreenleaf]

Tool is handy as fuck

[@rexgreenleaf]

Just google, bell end tool

[@mrseanpride6449]

What’s that conduit bellend thing? Also how far can that digital measure laser go?

[@rexgreenleaf]

I just call it a bell end maker, it’s job is to force a bell end into a heated end of pvc conduit. Eg. heat end of conduit with heat gun/blow torch, press this tool into malleable end to force out to a bell end shape. Digital laser can measure up to 40m.

[@mrseanpride6449]

@@rexgreenleaf interesting. Never seen or used one. Thanks for the reply.

[@lachlanwilliams1931]

hey mate bit of a big ask but I'm on the sunny coast and about to graduate and looking to start my apprenticeship at the end of the year, start of next year, any chance your looking for a first year?

[@rexgreenleaf]

Hey dude, the company I am looking for isn’t looking for anyone else at the moment sorry. I’d suggest getting a neat resume together once your ready to apply and just going door to door at electrical companies. Good luck!

[@lachlanwilliams1931]

@@rexgreenleaf Cheers for a reply. Just hoping I can get lucky and find one locally

[@rexgreenleaf]

I’m sure you will find something. Most important thing is just having the right attitude

[@alexbacardos7699]

Hi Rex, have you seen any snakes while you were working ?

[@rexgreenleaf]

Yeah man for sure. Never had an issue with any. Definitely more able skins that actual snakes though

[@Allegedly2right]

Torque screw driver waste of money or what

[@rexgreenleaf]

I’m not sure, I have not had any experience with a torque screwdriver. They seem very expensive but if they are mandatory for the tasks you are doing I like the look of the Wiha set.

[@Allegedly2right]

@@rexgreenleaf In the UK it costs a fortune to keep your tools calibrated,puts money in someone’s pockets I like your videos it’s a dear do that’s English slang ££££ for your tools
