I have watched a lot of tool reviews and bag setups, and this is by far the best setup I have ever seen. It also mirrors a lot of the same items I've found in my search of the best items or tools for the job. I noticed you don't have a huge following yet, but the quality of your videos and selection of tools makes me believe this has the potential to become a very large channel. You've made the jump from learning how to use the tools; to mastering skills, and now publishing what I think is one of the best 'EDC' a general handy-man or general contractor could ever have. A few years ago I didn't know as much as I wished about tools, and I always wondered what I could do if I had 'that' tool; now I understand a couple tools with the right user can do just about anything. This tool bag is a perfect reflection of that philosophy. While most of the tools are of high quality and not necessarily cheap; if someone took enough time to understand the purpose and maximize every tool in this kit they could accomplish 80% of any repair or 60-70% of any project they ever wanted to do. If I had any advice for anyone watching this video it would be that if you invested in this exact toolset you would be amazed how to matter what you want to work on, how many jobs you could complete in comfort with this kit. Everyone should subscribe and click that bell! Really looking forward to what content you are able to come up with in the future; what an amazing kickoff to a channel!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Wow man, I really appreciate your words. This bag was the consequence of maybe two or three years of switching out tools, lugging around big set ups, and just noticing what works best for me, while pick up tools that I can get the most use out of.

[@brentlalonde64]

tool bags and tool selection is not necessarily my forte but I’ve spent enough time working w an electical contracting crew and with some guys that are very adept in this area. Everything you say mirrors what I have had to put together from many different sources over a handful of years loving this. Keep it up!

[@doesitmatter2754]

@@BrandenBraxton hey quick tip for the Packout self opening issue, use heat shrink tubing on the metal latch. They aren't that hard to remove and place back. They'll stay shut and have a better seal.

[@patrickmenard8564]

My stuff is sort by jobs type...each one as a tool box,a bag and buckets....#1Gyprocs and framing. #2 Plaster and Painting #3 pluming and electrical basics #4 is the Work Shop where i Process big cuts or job preparation....so i have many times the contente of that bag of yours...you know what i mean,we always keep buying tools again and again...OMG its a Culte..lol...keep helping others Brother. Pce!

[@Bigdaddio]

Keep it in your pants bro

[@GamingwithGamerGirls]

it's crazy how almost all of these tool bag videos show tools that look like they were just bought that day. I wish my tools looked that nice.

[@no9scrum]

I was just thinking that!! the bag and almost every tool looks brand new!

[@Pavleone]

It is because these guys are buying tools just for fun, i doubt they are using tools every day.

[@Dave76289]

I’ve subscribed for about 3 weeks and I think I’ve watched this video 10 times. As a Milwaukee/Klein/Knipex fan this is the most satisfying video to repeat over and over again. My wife thinks I have a problem lol.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Lol thanks man, no worries my girl thinks I’m crazy for liking my tools enough to review them smh. I appreciate the support!

[@chacehood]

I also think you have a problem

[@Bob-I-am]

Those are high quality tools. It looks like you take good care of them. If you want a different topic for a new video, perhaps you could show us the supplies you keep in inventory and take to your jobs. For instance, screw and bolt assortments, electrical crimp terminals, duct/electrical/masking tapes, string, pipe fittings, etc. Thanks for the video.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Wow, that’ll actually be a perfect idea and now next on the list! Thanks

[@momentumtintdetail]

Yes!!!!!!

[@hardrock1826]

For a Handyman tool carry-all that is an excellent set-up. Good quality tools, organized and versatile. A combination of being well thought out and having work experience. Bravo.

[@keithy.1179]

I've watched this video over and over and over. The cinematography with the voiceover is really incredible. Great job!

[@mikeclark2248]

I love the fact that you buy quality but aren’t afraid to sport some cheaper things that you don’t often need. Great to see someone else who keeps their tools clean too. I was torn between the LC or the MCT. This video settled it for me. We have similar jobs and preferences. I waded through a lot of videos until I found yours. Thanks for the help.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man ,I appreciate it and happy I could help!

[@darcybeaudoin7952]

Like watching a magician pulling more and more things out of a bag, crazy. The best bag set up and demo I've seen.

[@jackhammer9622]

With all the tool videos I watch I can't believe I'm just now discovering your channel. Excellent content and I really lime how you present yourself. Very genuine and humble. Thank you for this channel

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks Jack, my channel isn’t big so it can get lost easily lol. But I’ll definitely be uploading some new content soon to help!

[@mrcoollu9662]

just about to start a small handy man start-up for myself you make it easy and very informative looking forward to see more of your videos

[@tcapone420]

This video is excellent! Im always on the lookout for tool reviews or tools in general. looking forward to future content by you as well. To sum up this video in one word......Excellence!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man

[@dwaynes5983]

Glad to see excellent tools. I have same tools for yrs.. thank you for video.

[@johnzuro4596]

Thank you for this video. I just got a Cobalt electricians tote for Christmas and you gave me a whole bunch of ideas. I appreciate that.

[@iekoch1]

Love the set up, I like the Titan flat pry bars over the blue ones you have. Classy and very sharp, good to use to scrape paint or rust.

[@selsyn73]

This is a great video and a very nice kit in a small package. I have similar preferences in tools and got some great tips from this. Good job!

[@BostonBilly38]

Great video, I liked the walk through and explanation of your tool bag setup. Very informative.

[@ryandelaney9236]

Dude, the BEST needle nose pliers ever. I love mine.

[@RobertABradley]

Fun to see your choices. Also very clear and concise “reviews” of everything….

[@roosteroriginal6458]

Finally a good set up with quality tools. Thanks man.

[@frjer11]

Thanks for the walkthrough. You've really got a lot into a small bag. Good suggestions for efficient work and cutting down trips to the truck.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks, yeah this little bag gets me through 95% of my jobs and I’ve recently added more lol.

[@alimuh007]

I own quite a few of the same tools that you have. It's very cool to see another Tech's tool set-up.

[@stewartxp2400]

Solid video dude, I also like how you not only showed the tool clearly but also occasionally explained some situations in which you used the tools (like the needle nose with drain plug at 10:53). Keep it up, the situations and opportunities will never end!

[@albertorodriguez6287]

Different bags for different jobs-now that makes you a thinking man 🥸

[@RedIron1066]

Very nice, well thought out setup!

[@FLMCP97]

I cannot recall the last time I commented on a video. However, this one was brilliant. I watched it a few times and took detailed notes and just ordered now everything I didn't have from either amazon or home depot. I have the 15 inch packout so I added a few things like a square, drill bit box, hammer, chisel, crescent wrench, vice grip, and tiny screwdriver set. I have a few packout organisers and I am not sure how to best organize those. Maybe Mr. Braxton can do videos on how to set up organisers for carpentry, and electrical. Thank you.

[@angelafox4380]

Love your video. Your tool bag is rad!!! I love the Milwaukee!!!

[@coindog6744]

Nice rig! Love my Milwaukee and German tools.

[@bsd9230]

Wow. Best set up and organization i hace seen.

[@Trinity10725]

I love the FastCap 16’ tape measurer. Super durable, has a built in pencil sharpener and little writing pad on the face to jot down quick measurements. Also gives 1/16th measurements on both sides of the tape which has proven much more convenient than I’d even have thought. Great little tool to check out if you’re still interested in trying new tape measures!

[@thomasalison6188]

Thanks for sharing, great set-up!!

[@lancefarmer8096]

Great job , good explanation of each tool and why you carry it. Would like to see your other setups as well. Keep.them coming.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man,I definitely have more coming soon!

[@austennaeve]

Klein has an awesome usb-c rechargeable head lamp. its even removable off the strap with a little magnet for inside of electrical panels. Check it out, it was only like $30

[@jamesdavis4124]

Thanks for a number of good ideas for my EDC tool bag 👍

[@77subiedo]

Great vid! Nice review of everything, thank you!

[@Coretltd]

Excellent video. Great setup!

[@southtexasshooting]

Love videos like these. Keep up the good videos!

[@Quietvibes07]

Some really quality tools in that set!

[@marclebrun641]

Nice setup, nice to see quality tools, Wera make great stuff.

[@Qvinner]

You have great taste in tools 👌🏼 wera drivers, knipex pliers and Milwaukee powertools/tape/torpedo is my go-to setup too🤘🏼

[@coincidentalrvadventures2081]

Thanks for the tour of your bag. I was so impressed I got in the truck went to Harbor freight and picked up that mini torque bit set.

[@y0electro]

I love this video. Straight forward and honest, always refreshing. You’ve earned a subscriber, and I cant wait to see how much your channel grows bro. Keep up the good content💪🏽💯

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks brother! I honestly love tools and use them daily, so I’m just giving my take on things. I’m happy to see others agree and enjoy the video.

[@Evan-hq5dt]

Awesome video idea, great video. For the headlamp, I normally wear a ballcap and keep a Streamlight 66608, 250 Lumen, micro usb rechargable flashlight clipped in my pocket. I use the clip to put it on the bill of my cap and it works great. However, it obviously struggles in tight spaces, but I use it as a regular flashlight more than a headlamp, so it offsets the tight spaces con.

[@ryancousins]

Absolutely beautiful collection!

[@damo0078]

Cool Video ...some new ideas for me in My DIY tool kit ! Thanks !

[@fredmorales7022]

A treasure trove of high quality tools! Impressive presentation! A a Yankee cap? The icing on the cake!

[@BrandenBraxton]

The Yankees fitted is a must in the Tri State Area lol.

[@Jakerocks0642]

Great set up. I’m working on a set like that and I’m going to use a lot of your ideas

[@Hawk74]

Great tools, great review. Thank you

[@austin3626]

This gave me some good organization ideas. Nice video

[@JohnSmith-ms2cl]

Really cool setup. Very versatile. Definitely borrowing a few ideas. 👍😁

milwaukee stud magnetic is the way to go, youll love it. has never let me down

[@stifflers69mom1]

I Have that same knife you where talking about, the one that Constantly pops out the back .....DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrJruta]

Nice setup and great tools. I love the same brands. Quality stuff

[@misteranonymous5523]

Amazing set up, Brother! Picking up few items for my tool bag too 👍🏻

[@yomomma5295]

Your video popped up on my recommended since I watched tool channels. Quick, yet thorough. You definitely won a subscriber. Im a PM for a GC by day, but I’m my parents handy man for their rental properties on weekends, and I struggle not to lug everything around. This is well rounded!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks brother I really appreciate it. I’m always looking for ways to make the setup better, so I’ll be doing updates

[@Soknik01]

Outside of store shelves I've never seen so many tools in what appear to be brand new or unused condition. I need to start working in a dust free hermetically sealed environment like this guy.

[@k2silence]

I know some guys that wipe down their tools often and if he’s doing work in home it’s generally cleaner than commercial/industrial sites.

[@Soknik01]

@@k2silence True enough but in my experience even when working indoors tools show signs of use in relatively short order. I'm not able to say one way or the other but I can tell you this much- You'll find a whole lot more guys who buy tools that they don't actually use than you will guys who use their tools and keep them looking brand new. I'd say the chances are that this dude spends more time shopping for tools than he does actually working with them.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Check out my Instagram to answer those questions lol, simple answer is just to clean your tools. Big Wipes are a great brand. Best of luck.

[@Ducky195]

Hey guys just do what Franky says “just relax”

[@seandolan9242]

Great setup!! Great video!

[@justkurt7716]

Very nice setup I have at least 23 of the tools that you have in your pack out look forward to your next video

[@SoCalRobb]

Very thoughtful choice of tools. Liked & subbed, looking forward to more content!

[@JS-sp2pc]

Love your video. Glad you popped up in my recommended.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man

[@vi7cz579]

Ur tool set up is prestigious great job !

[@dansamson7081]

I have the Milwaukee rechargeable headlamp. It’s a little bigger than the one you have and that makes it a little heavier than most. But I like it and it has great run time if you keep it on the low setting it’ll go for 2-3 full days. On the highest setting it’ll run for 4 hours only. Nice video, take care. I’ll keep watching

[@KolyaYusenko]

10/10 on the choice of tools. Got me hyped up on cashing out on some new tools! Post more construction/handyman vids!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks for the comment brother. All my working videos are on my Instagram, youtube will just be for tools.

[@mandosensei6616]

Wow. My apartment maintenance coworker put me on Milwaukee and I’ve been obsessed ever since. He has the same tote bag too

[@spartan_7389]

Great video man. Very high quality and you’re a great public speaker haha. Can’t wait to see what else you put out

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks brother, college came in handy for something lmfao. But I definitely have more videos coming soon!

[@ConkreteMan]

Nice setup! It gave me a few ideas on how I can shrink the mess I currently carry and get better organized.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man, I’m happy I could help

[@mrpyrokid]

You’re going to love the knipex pliers wrench. They are a game changer, very versatile.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Yeah they have a fan for life now

[@dominicfarzetta]

This is the best tool bag review/breakdown. Thanks so much!!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JollyRogerHobbies]

Wow, really great review of your EDC work tools. I aspire to be this organized. Thanks for making the good video, I hope you make more!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man, it honestly helps me not to lose anything. I get paranoid when leaving a clients house not to forget anything, so the setup helps seeing it visually.

[@JollyRogerHobbies]

@@BrandenBraxton Oh that makes a lot of sense. I am not an official Handyman, but I am the handyman of the family for brothers, sisters, Mom, in-law, friends, etc. And I can understand the unsure feeling of if you've left a tool at someone else's place. Never fun, especially a client.

[@ElectricPulse100]

Bro, it’s badass to see another young guy working with their hands. The trades are approaching a huge shortage of tradesmen so there is plenty of opportunity and money to be made by us. Subbed! Bless up brother! 💯

[@BrandenBraxton]

That’s a fact, it’s sad the jobs I have to do for most man lol. But as you mentioned it keeps the opportunity open for us to make a profit.

[@cwd1232]

Very well done review! Looking forward to more! Subbed!

[@willb3018]

Nice set up. Agree with you about those Knipex needle nose.

[@DarkKnight-lq9cw]

Great organization and seems very compact. Love the video and gear. Thank u.

Awesome setup. I’m going to checkout the Wera tools.

[@Dejayyy96]

I have a set of Milwaukee wire strippers and I love them. Definitely recommend. They are more sturdy than others I have used

[@rayc1503]

Made by NWS Germany. I brought the cutters pliers and snipe nose pliers by Milwaukee. Turned out to be exactly the same as my NWS pliers just re-badged. Knipex and Klein all the way.

[@red3784]

[@moisesmerlos3896]

Great video bro Really like your set up!! Quality tools. Thanks for putting me on!!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Not a problem brother,I’m happy I can help!

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

I have and enjoy many of the tools you show here. I'm impressed how clean and undamaged your tools are. Mine are a mess. LOL I've recently picked up a Milwaukee packout cart and cases and still need to migrate over to it.

[@BrandenBraxton]

Yeah I try my best to keep them in good shape,I clean them after every major job. Especially when dealing with drywall.

[@sgtsavage2181]

Great set up !

[@tomjones5783]

Like this, and surprised how clean all the tools are

[@dave8396]

Great video. Nice choices. I have quite a few of the same tools. Ill be checking out the wera items that you listed

[@Luigiz28]

Nice setup and selection of tools! I just picked up the M12 Surge and it's awesome! Next in line is that M12 fuel multi tool. Love Milwaukee's 12 volt line, rarely use my 18v tools anymore. Keep up the great work!

[@BrandenBraxton]

Thanks man, you’ll love the multi tool. I switched from the m18 to the m12 and it just feels better in the hand with similar power.

[@gianni9808]

I don't know how I got here, but I'll be back for more. Greetings from Poland!

[@mostachiocam1598]

Definitely love my petzl actic core headlamp. My other rechargeable one is the coast with adjustable beam, It sticks out further on my head so I get a glare in my eyes but that would change with head shape. Rechargeable headlamp is def the way to go. I'm adding the wera tool check and the purdy scraper after seeing your setup. Thinking of using this pack out bag with the small organizer underneath for wire nuts, screws, nails ect

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

For the headlight you should check out the olight h1r nova. It's a little flashlight with a magnetic base that you can use with or without the headband. USB rechargeable too

[@Thejoker-ii7eq]

So organized man. God bless
