HVAC Tools - Basic Tools Needed for Beginner, Apprentice HVAC Technicians

[@Sealheatingandairconditioning]

My first day on the job as a sheet metal apprentice, I had a claw hammer and vice grips. One of the journeyman came over and gave me a real sheet metal hammer (Donnie). That was 18 years ago and to this day I'll give tools to newbies who are serious about trade. I encourage the guys to buy a tool a week. Thanks for your video!

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Thank you

[@loves2smooch384]

that's my Rule , Buy at least one tool a week

[@rudeawakeningentertainment2254]

LOVES 2 Smooch me too I'm currently in the lawn Care business but looking into a career in this field instead . . 💰💪👋

[@smokeydoke100]

I went to trade school, so I already had a basic set when I started. But after a few years installing I had it refined down to a stack of toolboxes for each different phase of the job. Sheet metal, plumbing, electrical, drywall & carpentry, masonry etc. Plus a bucket for the bulky stuff like my torch and manifold. The really bulky stuff like safety harnesses, crowbars, power tools, and axes stayed in the truck until needed.

[@Vfh........y]

..... I like your straightforward approach to explaining things. You don't come off as a I know it everything kind of guy and we should all be humble like that. It reassures the rest of us that we can do better.

[@Gears.and.Gadgets]

Nice video. I've been a HVAC-R technician for going on 35 years now. You forgot to mention one needs a good pair of shoes and gloves. Since sheet metal is sharp. They are very good P.P.E. (Personal Protective Equipment).

[@fernandocarlos6665]

George W how good is the money?

[@978eric3]

Its seems almost una-fuckin-voidable that the sheet metal is going to cut you regardless. In very sharp painful ways and at the most unexpected times. It's like fate or finals destination I can almost see it before it happens and as hard as I try to stop it. BOOM !!! GET FUCKIN SLICED BOIII

[@jorgegonzales6697]

@@fernandocarlos6665 HVAC Tech starts around $16 to $20 per hour depending where you are and your skill level. Once you get out of apprenticeship you can get close to $100,000 a year.

[@tomsiess4520]

just got a job offer today, first time no experience. Great info.

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Thats sooo awesome!!! Take it and grow baby!!

[@tomsiess4520]

first week in, so far so good.

[@tomsiess4520]

Oscar Marquez I started out as a tech and am 3 weeks in and loving it.

[@XxXZach15XxX]

Tom Siess hey Tom! Im 20 years old with no schooling whats so ever an a little bit nervous about it, i was offered a job doing hvac for a company, he said he would train me for 6 months making 125 a day, then if i was good at it after 6 months i would make 225 a day thats almost 2k a week! But anyway im gonna give this a shot! I am very nervous about it any tips for someone who doesnt anything about hvac???

[@tomsiess4520]

stackin racks pay attention.

[@kelvinpalacio8988]

Nice, the next week is my first day as a HVAC technician, I was previously been working on apartment complex and i decided to move to Hvac company, I see I need a lot tools for buy. Thanks for your videos.

[@gtownhvac1640]

I'm remember my first tool come from the Mexican mall... fleet market lol

[@978eric3]

I'm in an HVAC school right now for 7 more weeks. I have 6 months of prior experience in this trade and was doing installs that's entire time. Luckily I've acquired some good sheet metal tools so I wont have SO MUCH stuff to get when I'm starting out. I really hope i can get into a good company when I'm done with school i just got my EPA 608 . I wanna hit the ground running and never look back. I'm 22 years old.

[@ronmtz2531]

Did you make it in the trade How did it go for you?

[@yorkrojas1452]

Thanks. Just starting out!! You Blew my Socks off with the Oil Pan!!! Been breaking my mind over the best tool for this!!

[@ottoteck]

Thanks. Im trying to help my daughters fiancé get set up to switch careers. You are most kind.

[@jaredtandle2596]

Just started my first week, first day I took my gloves but didn't grab from car, mistake. I grabbed some steel toe boots, pants and shirts that were cheap enough to screw up and sweatshirt because mountain states are cold. Second day I brought my tape measure, marker and gloves in. Lucky enough to work with guys that'll let me use their tools for what I need to. Gonna go get a bag and a couple tools this weekend. If you're in a bigger company theyy provide some tools but if not I'm not sure what will be fine to not bring.

[@Lemonades1321]

Just wanted to say Thank you. i am looking to go into Hvac just got my Universal chnaging careers from cooking.

[@cdarrell1985]

Genius idea with the oil pan!! Its almost embarrassing how much time ive spent looking for tools in crawl spaces. Would be great for attics too. Had a couple tools disappear into the blow in insulation... That stuff is like quick sand for hammers haha

[@Lkom24]

I'm a hvac apprentice, work commercial mostly with sheetmetal, left and right offset snips, impact driver with a good set of bits. Hammer.flat head/Phillips. Stanley fatmax 16' tape. duct knife or just a regular knife to cut flex. Wire cutters. crimpers .seamers .copper cutters and a tieton tool are literally the only tools I need 99% of the time. If you can afford a sawzall and circular saw you won't have to borrow or ask anyone to use tools

[@rodpruitt8926]

Thanks. I started last week. I'm getting some of that stuff ASAP.

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Rod Pruitt so awesome. Love to hear about it.

[@TrueSenteintBadA00]

Ok first, I LOVE YOUR LAST NAME! Gregg Fox is possibly one of the most awesome names I have ever heard! Second! I love the video! A much needed video for those headed in to the trade blindly. Like me! I did notice one important item you may have forgotton. A flash light/pen light. Other than that! You hit the nail on the head! Great work Mr. Fox! 👍

[@GunninRebel55]

New sub here. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I'm starting an HVAC job soon and have most of the tools listed but still need a few. Much appreciated!

[@arkanoiddude]

Inspection mirror, telescoping magnet, deburring tool, stubby 6-in-1, level, different tubing cutters, and manifold gauges!!

[@alguiendbser5868]

Excelente video!! Gracias por compartir tu experiencia!! Y por tu tiempo!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Seedavis397]

You forgot the duct stretcher

[@lowcostcleaners]

Thank for taking ur time to make things like this for ppl like me that are going to b new to hvac work soon

[@boneyfreak9197]

Those lemon straights have seen a lot of use like mine, LOL. Crawlspace snailing a small plastic mortar tub works great, so do some models of baby bathtubs. Rounded edges don't bulldoze into the logging road dust and mud, basically a dirt sled. Especially useful when working a crawl space that has rat proofing laid down (if someone doesn't know what that is you will when you run into it). Attach some cheapo nylon rope and it's even more useful.

[@daleperez1264]

Past week all I keep on my tool belt is a staple gun tape razor and scissors

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Sounds like youre doing some ductwork huh?

[@Newtricks455]

one thing I would add is a small flashlight or headlamp. as a helper I use it all the time. Whatever you do, leave your phone in your pocket, save it's battery in case your lead tech calls to see what's going on in that attic or basement. who knows, you may get stuck and need that phone to call for help.

[@apr9286]

Hvac tech needs so much difference tools, and equipment, test equipments. Tanks, torch pulleys hub puller, Etc. Just started with a company that dont supply much. Not even sure if the supply gloves and knee pads. Spend over 2k just so i can go on my own service calls.

[@patchgarcia4887]

Thank you for the informative video. I send the link to job candidates and to teachers in local high school and community colleges around the San Francisco/East Bay area of Northern California. More, please.

[@chasecastellano4530]

Telling you guys here now, instead of jumping to a reciprocating saw, buy a jab saw. A simple handheld tool like that (the saw with the 90° angled handle in the beginning) should be more than enough. Source: Trimmed and cut a lot of sheetrock over the years as a carpenter.

Good video bud!! Biggest advice to new guys getting tools is take your time. Your not gonna get all these tools in a week I've been building my arsenal for 15+ years as the other guys have. Get your basic hand tools and go from there

[@foxfamilyhvac]

I agree. My boss always told me he'd be happy to let me borrow his tools while I was starting AS LONG As I bought a new tool every paycheck.

[@wyattcawley2344]

Do the tools you need vary depending on if you're working residential or commerical? I'm going to school pretty soon and getting into the commercial industry so I'm just curious..

[@cdarrell1985]

These tools are pretty much standard in all installations. With commercial installs you may want some bigger pipe wrenches. You will likely be working with 1",1 1/2", 2" gas lines. My favorite tool in my bags is my malco power shear. It attaches to a drill to cut sheet metal, furnace jackets for return openings etc. Saves so much time and energy! You will likely install spiral duct at some point doing commercial installs and you will be glad you have it!

[@cdarrell1985]

You will find alot of tools that fit your specific needs as you go along but with these you can get by.

[@samuelpinheiro1713]

Great vid fox. Those boys are gonna need staple guns, and a pair of scissors though. That stuff doesn't wrap it's self haha ;)

[@foxfamilyhvac]

Hahaha good point I knew I forgot a couple things!

[@kanec5097]

forgot folding bar and make sure to get 18 gauge reds at least

[@mariolorbes2936]

Why you are headless?

[@chrismartin1318]

Why would you use zip ties with ductwork? Steel strapping or, if you're worried about duct making noise, laminated steel strapping and that's only for supporting leads. If it's square trunk lines then it's drive cleat.

[@ryanrandolp1051]

Chris Martin he's talking about hooking flex to take offs not hooking duct work

[@chrismartin1318]

Ryan Randolph why would he be hooking flex to take offs? Take offs always use solid pipe straight through. There is never a reason to use flex.

[@ryanrandolp1051]

I have been doing hvac for 7 years over the last 2 flex has become very common 90% of my jobs are all flex runs

[@chrismartin1318]

Ryan Randolph why would you use flex? It looks terrible and leads to less air flow and more collection of dust and debris. I have seen someone with 25 years experience violate gas code and have a brazed copper gas line in a wall. Doesn't make it right.

[@Devilsfan-pd8ov]

Chris Martin for attics man what ya mean

[@paulorodrigodacruz1352]

pump vaccum is not necessary ?? you don't show ? sorry my english i'm. brazzilian and work hvac in my place ..

[@paulorodrigodacruz1352]

Client?? Supply vaccum pump.. i don't see!? Can you explain?

[@bennycomptech3939]

+Paulo Rodrigo da Cruz your boss will supply vacuum

[@jamesvalenti9288]

I am thinking about getting into HVAC. I really enjoy working with my hands, and diagnosing problems. But I am almost 30. Is it worth it? And is it worth going to tech school to learn HVAC? Thanks in advance

[@ochivictor1688]

I'm 31 soon to be 32...and my passion...i'm going into it too bro...never too late...never late for us because we still youth. 16 to 35 years...still within our youthful age.

[@GotTwins29]

James Valenti it's worth it. I finished a 2 year hvac-r school about a year ago and just started in the field full time. I'm 36 years old. It was worth going to school first in my opinion to learn the theory on everything first and how everything works. Then once you start in the field things tend to make sense faster and you will excel much quicker.

[@arkanoiddude]

Yeah just make sure you are able to find a place that gives you a decent wage. Most hvac places near me hire rookies at around $10-$12/hr, which is garbage if you're a guy in your 30s with bills and a family. Most rookies in the field are kids fresh outta high school.

[@pbbounce]

Definitely a great start! I've also compiled a shopping list/kit for apprentices at kit.com/PaulBunyan/hvac-and-refrigeration-apprentice-starting-tools-1 To me it seems like it's a useful format/layout and selection for where your first $150 or so should be spent.

[@alexsierra111]

I just tried to visit the link above, no dice. Would you happen to have an updated link? Please and thank you.

[@TimB85]

No saws all for sheet rock! Can’t tell you how many water extractions I’ve done from some dumb hvac guy accidentally cutting a water pipe. A jab saw is the right tool!

[@Quentyn73]

Warrior a minute! Where's your truck full of gizmos?

[@mohdkhaja2713]

I like it

[@Trobeno]

Sweet!

[@Spladoinkal]

Service wrench!

[@roadie193]

I would disagree with this video. I am a new apprentice (as an hvac tech). I have been doing installs mostly for my company and can do the high side (condenser) confidently and without any supervision. I carry basic electrician tools like pliers, dykes, screw drivers, channel locks... etc. and you will need the basics like a level and a tape measure, hammer etc. YOU NEED GUAGES. You don't need the fancy electronic gauges unless you want to spend that money. You can do a lot with the good ole fashion gauges trust me... Also, an impact drill with a 1/4 and 5/16 bit will be your best friend. Any big expensive tools like a vacuum pump, torches, or recovery machine should be provided by the company.
