What tools does an industrial electrician carry? | Finns world | Toolbag Tour 2018

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

2021 updated tool bag tour here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ2ldH1rfrWWZqs

[@lowvoltagedude7837]

This is probably the most epic tool bag and tool load out video I've ever seen. I never knew this bag even existed looks like a smart buy.

[@liamdeverall964]

Give us an update on your bag bro!

[@halfcutlawncare7742]

got myself a beehive a year ago, best thing i have done! its funny that we are in the same field of the trade and iv got 95% of the tools you have (different brands), great minds think alike hey cob

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Matthew Cristino it would be a lot harder without them!

[@Ste2023]

After a long think, i think a Open Tote bag is good . Easy to see tools . Easy access.

[@loganlemaire4030]

hey man just wanna say you seem like a real cool guy who really deserves far more subscribers just the preparedness and the professional quality of these videos are amazing for someone with 250 subscribers I mean its great and you're probably one of my favorite KZbinrs now. Meet ya at 1 milion subscribers? have a good one.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Logan Lemaire way to kind mate, I am happy you watch and enjoy!

[@mikenormandy9250]

I would say in the states, we have the equivalent Veto Pro Pac bags...They are meant for life and just can't be torn or ever die! Nice Bag Tour my man!

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Veto can’t compete in the heavy industry, more of a domestic electrician/hvac brand

[@ryanfoley187]

Try the Bahco hack saw, so light weight, you need a bashing driver too. Like the bag though

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

I’ll check them out

[@ajsandy1068]

after all these years legit finally found someone with the same sort of set up 🤙🏼🤙🏼 when you replace the beehive definitely recommend the custom and increase the pocket sizes and extra hacksaw pouch on the back 👍🏻

[@davidpushesaskateboard]

20:55 Sounds like you need an angle finder finder.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

That’s exactly right!

[@timfha]

i actually had that wera screwdriver break on me while on an international trip. i was pretty disappointed - it didnt really seem like it could handle too much torque.

[@Thompson-from-Finland]

Bahco makes slim tip screwdrivers too, very handy in some terminal that normal ones dont fit. I clean mine from oils and other shit with brakecleaner😄

[@paul123456789o]

Can you do a video on just the bag ? Keen to purchase one but don't know whether to go beehive vinyl or rugged extremes. Would probably prefer beehive as its made locally

[@El_ivan123]

Hey mam! Love the tools where did you get that badass hammer/wrench!

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

1SLEEPYBLUE3 it’s called the “wera koloss” I did a review on it

[@nalurash2787]

Looks like you got that bag dialed in. I never heard of Beehive tool bags before but man It looks really rugged. I kinda do the same thing as you with the bucket. I have a bunch of tools in other bags, but I'll end up throwing what I need in a bucket and taking the bucket with me instead. It's great for carrying tools and trash as your working throughout the day. At the end of the day I just dump it all out and put the tools away. Good stuff man, take it easy

[@georgedunham7311]

Just bought the Beehive platinum and wanted to see how other blokes are running these bags. Looks like you can get to the vital shit very quickly. Keen to run this bad boy in 😍

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Mine has been going strong for 10 years now, but its getting old and tired. starting to get some holes in pockets. Has served well but there is only so much anything can take!

[@cameronmacleod3028]

Finn where are you working? I’m working as an apprentice at Olympic Dam and loving it here! Just got myself the same tool bag last month and it’s second to none.

[@bones_bn]

I got a smaller Beehive tool bag and at this point I think it may outlive me.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Yeah I am waiting for it to die so I can try an MSMUIR but it won’t quit. I can’t quit on it if it does not quit on me haha.

[@jaxonmudita4875]

Dude you should definitely have a look into the veto pro pac bags. I’ve got two now and could never go back to any other bag

[@jaxonmudita4875]

I also had a bag as stacked as that but narrowed it down to a smaller day to day bag and is very convenient and comfier to carry around

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

I know the veto bags get a lot of love, but they just won’t last in the conditions I work in. There is a reason everyone runs a vinyl bag it’s the only thing that stands up to the UV, dusty dry/rain, oily, and overall harsh conditions of the job. This bag is at least 8 years old now. If I worked domestic or in city I would look at a bag like the veto. But hey each there own.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Depends on what workfronts I am dealing with, it’s easy to drop the mechanical tools when terminating and vise versa, but you in general I’ll use 70 percent of this bag each day,

[@jaxonmudita4875]

Finn's World yeah that makes sense with all the different conditions

[@SouthsPride10]

Hey mate, what's the brand of that ratcheting spanner set at 9:00? And the cover too?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Kincrome Set 15 Piece Metric model code - K3015 It's an expensive set, however it has lasted me through a hell of a lot of punishment with no fails, more than paid for itself 20 times over. Some people are put off by the price tag and for them i would advice picking up a dirt cheap set and a roll, and replace each individual one as you need. Each there own

[@SouthsPride10]

@@Finntheweekendwarrior Thanks for replying mate. I've just started my electrical apprenticeship in the mines in NSW. Did you do your apprenticeship in an Industrial setting like mining?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

I did, my first year was not in the industrial setting but after that I got a start and never looked back. Lot of money and a lot of opertunities for you if you get good at the trade and don’t just “coast”

[@SouthsPride10]

@@Finntheweekendwarrior That's actually my next question, I've noticed a lot of "coasting" going on from tradesmen and fellow apprentices, my goal is to become the best tradesman I can, do you have any advice on getting the most out of my apprenticeship?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

My advice is always volunteer for the shit jobs, and put 120% in on the good ones. Other than that Just work hard a learn. There is no point doing something unless you are learning. Wether you are in maintenance or construction it up to you if you are learning how and why stuff is done. annyone can do a simple task but did you work out and learn why it was done in the first place.

[@lukep5130]

Hey mate what brand are those interchangeable crimpers

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Knipex

Great video

[@joshlesoway6181]

Great vid

[@frankkecseti6911]

What brand of bag is that? I like it

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

It’s a beehive, but if you search vinyl tool bags there is lots of options

[@takequite879]

been wanting some of those knipex flat jaws for a while so good for doing glands but hard to justify when i still got wide jaw adjustables. bacho hacksaws are lightweight. no junior hack for SWA cables?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

I run a little handle for regular hacksaw blades when doing swa, as long as you get a high teeth count your do just as well. I used to carry the junior and the steel handle was prefect for straightening cores when terminating

[@blakewilliamzieglercombs9484]

What kind of bag is that? Where can I get it?

[@itsrussagainst]

That is a beehive tooldbag. www.beehivevinyl.com.au/shop-online/beehive-toolbags

Christian Antoni nah there is heavy duty inserts in the vinyl

[@SouthsPride10]

Hey Finn, what's your take on 1000V insulated tools? I thought it was crucial to have insulated tools but you're clearly experienced and it doesn't seem like your pliers are insulated, not sure about your screwdrivers? Thanks mate.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

It’s illegal to do live work where I am, and the tools are only rated as long as they are in perfect condition and constantly certified similar to test equipment. If you are sticking things into places like screwdrivers and test probes it’s all rated in my bag, but my pliers and stuff for cutting cable on drums I don’t worry about as it’s extra money for a handle that isn’t needed. You can spend thousands on insulated sockets and wrenches too but again it’s so rare and impractical. If I was in the need to do that work, the correct tools would need to be sourced but to be honest I have never worked live outside of a few traffic signal situations, and then we had the gear provided That being said if you want peace of mine go for it.

[@SouthsPride10]

@@Finntheweekendwarrior Thanks mate, really helpful.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

No problem, thanks for viewing !

[@thaifighter709]

First time seeing that kind of bag but it looks cool! I'm also an industrial electrician at a mine in Canada and typically people will use the open top soft side bags like Kuny's softside. I've been using the Veto Tech XL which I love. Also what type of spray do you use to maintain your tools?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

These have become the standard in the industry in Australia soft bags only last a couple months compared to the years and years you get from these. Most are made custom by motorcycle trim specialists and the like.

[@SuperKiller374]

What's the name or link for those stripper

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Which one mate?

[@SuperKiller374]

Finn's World the stripper at 2:30. Can you provide a link to the item or a similar one as I am from the UK thanks

[@blairwilson9272]

Don't think you need to justify the use of the strippers, they are better, - quicker and easier on your body. Great video and prefer this type to the newer toolbag tour where you overlayed audio to make it quicker - we love tools so we don't mind! Peace!

only if I can get on hands on one in the USA :(

Stainless air pipe

[@centinela4793]

Where you from? What brand Is that bag? Looks great AND simple.

[@deanrhodenizer938]

Thanks. That bag looks pretty heavy. Do you normally work from a cart so you don't have to carry it as much? Also noticed a few differences from what I tend to carry (I am not an industrial electrician) - like no flash light/headlight, electrical tape, zip ties (you do mention when you speak of the Knipex flush cutter) , non contact voltage detector, small parts container with misc parts, and safety stuff (gloves and glasses). I am in Canada and hadn't hear of Beehive before, I checked their website, looks like good stuff, I use one of the VetoProPac bags (Tech-LC) and it holds a lot but is easy to carry at your side and fits through doorways easily. I am mostly using the German brands (Knipex, Wera and Wiha) for pliers, screwdrivers and sockets/wrenches. Being in North America, I have some Klein stuff too (allen/torx wenches, and nut drivers), I use a Flir CM78 as my main meter. I use DeWalt for knives and power tools. My inspection mirrors/lights (X-Steel brand) came from Australia.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Dean Rhodenizer I carry this everywhere, given the nature of my job carts and things are not really functional. Depending on the day I will grab a couple tools and it then in the bucket bag if I only need a certain set for the day. I

[@SouthsPride10]

Hey mate, I just had some questions about your socket set-up. Thanks for your time. Do you only carry metric? Do you have a link or part number for the 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch sockets or did they all come in one set? Where did you get those socket holders/rails?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

I got the rails from eBay but they are ready available a few places. I only carry metric, I never need imperial and if I randomly find it once a year I can get by without. They are two different sets but I don’t have the part numbers handy if your determined I can dig them up a bit later

[@SouthsPride10]

@@Finntheweekendwarrior Thanks for the quick reply mate. Don't worry about the part numbers if it's inconvenient. I'm looking to acquire sockets for my tool bag, Kincrome offer that many different sets I was just interested to see what you use. I also noticed Kincrome discontinued those pencil cases you have, damn shame, they would have been handy.

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

I think there is a few different brands that get those pencil cases from the same factory. Super cheap auto has them, sidchrome and and a lot of USA brands. Check amazon and stuff

Jack Schuldt just as good as any other bag, they have the room I just don’t use them for that purpose. This is the generic brand, but anny vinyl tool bag in this “class” is in my opinion better than the toolbags found in hardware stores/tool shops

@Scott’s Tool Thoughts You mean the country that were the medical industry here converted to the metric system that the amount of childhood overdoses decreased by tenfold. (Definitely a sign that the pre-existing imperial system was vastly superior...) What system of measurement does NASA use? What system of measurement does the US military use? I don’t love it when my fellow Americans turn our nation into a personified Al Bundy, we were awesome 50 years ago so suck it...🤦🏼‍♂️

@Jamie Young Or who lose Martian landers because JPL can’t convert imperial units to metric units.

Thanks for video but you have basically bought every hand tools possible and just showing them in the video.. one can go to any hardware store and see them all..
