Orbiting Multi Tool, I use one all the time for dry-wall, should of made the list. better then a jigsaw IMO.

[@MrMaxyield]

Multi tool is one of my favorite tools...

[@packinaglock]

Yea, I’ve got 36 years of commercial and industrial and I don’t believe I’ve ever used a jigsaw at work. Maybe residential???

[@phillipfessenden7705]

I've been doing electrical for about 15 years now. I think I've literally used a jigsaw twice. They nice for home but. I hardly see a use for it at work. Both residential and commercial. I think a battery powered dedicated roto hammer is needed. I drill alot of 1/2 holes for anchors. The drill roto hammer combo doesn't perform as well in that application. Also battery power shop vac are awesome.

[@drfusioncraft]

All electrician's tool should be battery powered. You're literally the one who's installing electrical in a place without power.

[@terriblepeople]

at least in new construction/remodel every job has a working outlet

[@wigit2216]

Another one I really like to use is a fein saw, I'm pretty sure the technical name is a oscillating multi tool. Really nice for cut in boxes and when you need to cut small bits of wood, like cutting in an exterior box.

[@normferguson2769]

I use an oscillating saw (Dewalt) for drywall cutouts. It is accurate enough and has different tips to cut drywall/wood through to metal and grout.

[@jarrydee2799]

@@normferguson2769 I use it for drywall also. A few wood things to. I bought the angle grinder after plaster was destroying my multi tool blades FAST

[@vlad1889]

Besides the obviously important ones...surprisingly, I use oscillating saw very frequently especially in the remodeling jobs.

[@1stMBT]

oscillating saw yeah. I agree also proper hammer drill up to 1/2 inch anchors.

[@MrMaxyield]

Like the video but I'd switch the framing nailer and circ saw for multi tool and shopvac...🤘

[@vendetta836]

I agree with most of these. But I also think that if you are just an apprentice or even a journeyman the company you work for should supply most of that. Sure maybe not drills or impacts. But saws hole hawg etc isn’t a must have.

[@trevorj5772]

That framing nailer will almost never see the light of day as a commercial electrician 😂😂, but for sure in residential

[@noelv1976]

That’s exactly what he said 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@brentonihms]

This was a good video. I found your video, and this was the prompt I used, 'Power tool, what each does'. your video did the job thank you.

[@tcross7287]

A 5-3/8” metal cutting circular saw will cut EMT up to 1-1/4 way faster than a band saw.

[@larrybrellenthin4247]

Multi-tool instead of jigsaw but all the other sound great Good job bro

[@AMERICANsparky32]

Got em all ⚡⚡🤙

[@trombonepaul]

I do a lot of residential work and use my Fein tool/oscillating multi tool and battery power vacuum a ton.

[@pimpsup27]

The multi tool is great to have too. Great vid man! I wish my contractor would get us a jigsaw for notching!

[@timdouglass4934]

Multi tool should be in the top three. Vacuum should be in the mix. I learn a lot from your video's, thanks.

[@tylerearl8129]

You should do a video on Door bells and Doorbell Cameras

[@saab2fast]

Nice Intro, Nice and Short

[@that1electrician]

One awesome power tool I love using is the Milwaukee 3/8 battery powered ratchet. It has a lotta torque and is great for tightening down redheads and other shiz.

[@555metman]

Definitely need a regular hammer drill more then circular saw and nail gun, multi tool is also a must have.

[@Hatim.13]

100% I ve never used a nail gun or circular saw in the jobsite, SDS hammer drill and oscilating tool are def more important in the type of work I deal with.

[@ourleopardtortoises6543]

Fine tool is a must for me.

Thanks for the videos

[@Sassmates]

Great video! Definitely need to add an sds on there though

[@jimanderson4495]

Yes...as Wigit states. A cordless multi tool. I use often.

[@phillipfessenden7705]

I keep a full 12v and 18v set on the van.... but thinking of retiring the 12v set as i got a new van a little transit and have a hard time with 2 different sets and space now. But I absolutely love my 12v set its lighter and easier to carry around. I can drill panels and cans, wood studs. And the m12 sub compact bandsaw perfect for my niche of work I do up to 1.5 emt and deep strut. And if it just 1 or maybe 2 cuts for anything bigger (rarely in my niche) I can cut it but if I'm do alot of 2" or bigger I bust out the deep cut

[@lkonoyarrol]

I memorized some tools in English thanks 😊

[@brenthubner9521]

love the videos dustin u the man. I'd swap the jigsaw for oscillating saw. Never thought to use a cordless framing nailer but maybe ill give it a try. Also you need a small cordless vacuum, not sure if its a power tool but its a must, customers love it. I stole your using latex gloves when installing nice shiny fixtures, thats mint thanks for makin us all better!

[@docferringer]

If anyone is in the market for a cordless vacuum, check out the website for your tool brand of choice to see if they have any vacuums that will work in combination with your tools. There are a lot of saws and drills these days with automatic dust collection adapters and you can either have an always on vacuum or one that only comes on when your drill or saw turn on. Typically this works by plugging whatever tool into a power plug on the vacuum and the vacuum supplies power to both; however, newer wireless tools with Bluetooth support can make this process a little easier.

[@theoisaac9948]

Nice tips

[@garbo8962]

Started heiping my dad & uncle on 100 amp services early 60's. They only had a 1/4 & 1/2" hand drill Would spend spend long time using a heavy hammer & star drill. Cut cable with a old hacksaw. Yabba dabba do caveman style. Have most of the power tools that you talked about. If you young can afford it please go with the brushless cordless tools. Lighter and longer battery usage. Wish I had a dollar the over thousand times that I had to string out long extension cords to just a few holes.

[@carlellis4338]

Hey I would like to know what are the best wire to use to string your home hi no you have solid and strong what are the difference between the two unexplained please and thank you

How come you are using several different brands? Best brand angle grinder? I need a grinder.

[@abdulelkhatib2674]

The Milwaukee m18 fuel tools are best imo be sure to buy the fuel versiontheyre 100 times better than the non fuel

[@lonedesertfox]

I agree they are a great company because of their tool quality but also because they have the best warranty period that they’ll fix and or replace shipping free.

[@williamhammar4821]

Get rid of the framing nailer and switch it with the battery operated romex stampler 100%

Hey guys I’m 26 looking to become an electrician in NJ. I just really love the work. I know the odds of me getting into the union are slim but I also know they offer the best education hands down. Does anyone know how I could go about getting the same level of education without local 102 or 164 NJ? Aside from Lincoln tech. Is it worth it going to the IEC or ABC for the proper electrical education? Thanks everyone.

[@smokeybandit1914]

What do you think of the new ryobi brushless tools? Apprentice starting out in the commercial field, 2 months in.

[@JamesJackel]

That's one way to get laughed on any job sites I've been on

[@smokeybandit1914]

@@JamesJackel many did, but guess who's the first one they go to when their milwaukee is dead Honestly though, many at my site use some ryobi tools. For the meantime, also ya Cant beat 2 4ah batteries For $79 Or a brushless impact for $129

[@Quejay913]

I suggest invest in good tools. Also buy tools with warranties. Tools can get very expensive and you don’t want to be replacing them over and over. I wouldn’t suggest ryobi IMO. Also try and stick with one set of tools you don’t want to have like three different chargers and batteries

[@smokeybandit1914]

@@Quejay913 my current set of power tools are all ryobi, working commercial at the moment and they all take a beating every day, I will upgrade once i get a raise to Milwaukee or makita. Though I do love that i can just swap out my impact driver's battery and put it on my sawzall, grinder, circ saw, work light, radio ect. Went with the brushless motor line of ryobi tools, my older set (not brushless) went through 4 years of heavy HVAC work and they're still going strong.

[@Quejay913]

@@smokeybandit1914 ayeee the most important thing is that you aren’t replacing tools constantly. Most tools do the same shit just some more effectively. For an electrician most drill drivers and impact shouldn’t really matter. IMO bandsaws, sawzalls, grinders, sds, etc. I wouldn’t buy ryobi

[@andrewcampos7512]

Do tool belt suspenders work ? And if they do, do u recommend first year apprentices buy then to improve lower back health ?

[@macadamia1966]

I find that they do. I'm a large human and tool belts tend to sag on me pretty much from when I put them on. I use suspenders (on both my pants and my tool belts) so I do not have to pull my pants and tool belt up all day. I'm sure it also helps with lower back health, but it's about time for me... I'd spend all day pulling up my pants without them.

[@krich7977]

I just pack my pouch with only what I use for the day. If I didn't use it that day, then it goes in my tool bag. Just keep it light or suspenders if you want.

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL tools have a much better power to weight ratio. Especially if you’re doing overhead work. Keep an extra battery around or something. I’d feel sorry for somebody carrying an M18 drill around all day, nobody needs that.

[@jimbaileyme]

As you gain more experience and if you're fortunate to have an employer who doesn't mind you doing side work, you're going to need your own tools. It's an investment in yourself. That is always a good thing. If you do what you say, and do it well, you'll be amazed how quickly you're able to do as much side work as you want. Also, employers notice the employees who invest some of their income back into their trade. Can benefit you come review time as well. 💵
