HVAC Tools My Everyday Carry Service Bag

[@Eddy63]

Good set-up Hackster ... I'm retired after 40 yrs at all 3 Nuclear plants in the Oak Ridge Tn area and do some side jobs to stay busy or to help my brother who's a builder ... Enjoy every minute of it cause time goes by so fast ...

[@lanesairconditioning]

Been I the trade for 50 years. 2 years ago switched to the very same bag. Have almost the same set up. Good job HVAC HACK

[@thehvachacker]

It's the perfect size for service work. I see too many with really heavy bags. Lots of useless tools unless a repair is required. I would need to get parts from truck and return with needed tools

[@572gonzales]

@@thehvachacker thanks for the video.. what kind of bag is that?

[@hozerhvac4406]

I’m always re organizing my bag. I tend to swap bags back and forth as well. Usually when my back starts to hurt lol

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

Great loadout & bag 👍 I have the Veto MCT & MB2 bags. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@frankchris07]

Before I started doing controls and programming, I did service and I would say nice set of tools and a great back pack. If you do roof top units east to go up a ladder with a pack. Now my tools are tech screw drivers meter and laptop. Keep up the good work .

[@HvacPanda]

Love the multi jumpers - great idea

[@thehvachacker]

Use them almost everyday. Great for working on RTU’s

[@EDCCooperative]

I was in the trade for 12 years before losing my job and becoming a cop, always good to see tools, edc dumps and waht not! Thank you for sharing. If your interested in Every day carry in general, You may be interested in checking us out on all social media platforms as well as here and our website. No worries if not.

I’ve had a varied work life, military before hvac as well 😂

Good video. What I have been doing of late is moving to mult-tools and weight reduction. Just like your Malco handles and how you can make nut drivers out of it by just addig the various drive bits or connect to your right angle driver, this is a good example of multi tool so you can reduce carrying a nut driver set and reduce added weight. Another example is carry a multi stripper/needle nose/crimper cutter so you can remove carrying individual single purpose pliers. I moved away from veto as right off the bat they are empty bag-extremely heavy and they have so many pockets and since all us HVAC guys are actually tool pack rats- tend to stuff way more tools than we need. Over time, 10 times a day slinging that heavy veto onto your should adds up to shoulder injury over time. To reduce this I moved to back pack style bag, even distributed weight on my shoulders and I went to the klein as it is lighter. Just food for thought from a 40 year HVAC tech. Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed it.

[@chrisprak88]

What kind of tool bag do you have and how much was yours?

[@chrisgormley5751]

Nice set up. I have almost the same set up but in my mb2. Its overflowing so its time to step up to the mct.

[@thehvachacker]

I feel the mct is the right size. The tech mc is just a little small for what I need for troubleshooting. When it comes to repair work I can always use a bucket to carry extra stuff. Yet usually I can fit it all in the mct

[@b-2466]

Nice set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@petesingh292]

Great boss just needed tools only in the bag , no extra or unwanted tools but you missed out one important tool , heavy duty magnet that keeps door switch closed while you checking the furnace

[@lanesairconditioning]

There's a door switch holder made by Supco that works well. It's bright orange so you don't lose it in the attic. Look on amazon.

[@HVACToolReview]

Nice set up, I love the veto bags

[@chrisprak88]

How you like your tool bag case ? How much and where can I purchase at ?

[@MoodMuzikFilez]

Props to ur video! What kind of Veto bag do you have if i may ask?

[@user-ec6yk1fz3k]

"I like a nice screwdriver" *pulls out a milwuakee*

[@kellyspeppers]

When I was out in the field doing service work my tool case was always around 40 lbs. I think that is the reason I now have bad RA in my shoulders.

[@Adrian-jd1pb]

The HVAC Hacker nice tools . I really like those working flashlights you always use. Do you mind telling me what brand or the name , where to get them. Thank you

[@TheMaster5150]

Braun flashlight. Go to his home page, he has a video review recently about the flashlight.

[@Adrian-jd1pb]

Thank you very much !

[@Ted_E_Bear]

The great Hacker has more tools in his work bag than the regular HVAC worker. He outsmarts his competition by having the tools to do any type job that he goes to. He can complete any job quicker than any other technically inclined person that thinks that they are smarter the The Hacker ! The Hackers skills are so great he could win the Nobel laureate prize !!

[@lareconquista1696]

what tool bag is this? thanks!

[@thehvachacker]

This is a veto MTC good bad. After 4 years though all the zippers snapped off.

[@lareconquista1696]

@@thehvachacker thanks for heads up. Do you know another model that doesn't have that problem?

[@thehvachacker]

@@lareconquista1696 I don’t know any other tool bag that last this long. The cLC tool bags I use to use would last about a year. I fixed the zipper problem with zip ties. Should contact Veto since bag is still under warranty

[@lareconquista1696]

@@thehvachacker Thanks man for that! Thumbs up.

[@frankevans588]

nice set , about 40lbs?

[@phillipjasper5507]

I noticed you don't carry a gas sniffer . would that not be useful?

[@thehvachacker]

When you say gas, do you mean refrigerant leak detector or natural gas leak detector?

[@phillipjasper5507]

@@thehvachacker I was thinking natural gas,but would it pickup any kind of gases? I 'am thinking of getting one I was told at my last car inspection I have a slight exhaust leak . thanks you for your comment, I've been learning a lot from your you tube site.

[@donalddaniels5848]

How much does that thing weigh?

[@jeffcoolhd]

Hackers the man with the tools. Peace brother

[@1nelinktv256]

Anybody that live in the Atlanta Georgia area willing to train me .. I went to school but I still feel like I need more training how to be a better tech

[@beaz9036]

Do you have a link for the bag you use?

[@thehvachacker]

It’s a Veto MCT bought at supply house yet will be found on veto website

[@beaz9036]

Thank you

[@Ricky32908]

Where’s your copper cutters???

[@thehvachacker]

Copper cutters are in the 3rd draw from top in my tool chest. No reason to carry tools not used for troubleshooting

[@leonardolimon8371]

I seen that

[@IFIXCASTLES]

I do hate when my stuff gets wet! I don't like when you guys with the impacts put screws back in ...they strip out most of the time and the next guy has a bitch getting panels off. Also i will have to make another hole next to the one you stripped.

[@thehvachacker]

If you know how to use a drill you won’t strip out screws. The screws don’t need to be tight just secure. Yet also remember the screw holes also rot out over time. You have bare metal exposed to the elements. Therefore even if a unit never had a screw drilled on the holes still will slowly get bigger. I should of left my bag shut instead of slightly open under the v shaped condenser. Yet even though I know I’m not overtightening the screws I have witnessed many who feel you need for lbs of torque on a screw that just needs to hold a door on.

[@carlmccoy662]

Those little 12v Milwaukee (others too) drivers changed that. You have use one to find out what I mean. I just put together a bunch of Ikea cabinets, screwing wood screws into particle and MDF with out any stripping whatsoever. I would not think about using an 18v impact for that.

[@edjovi3677]

that suck brother man !!!! talk soon edbonjovi aka leak master

[@wolfseek]

You cant fix shit with that set up

[@thehvachacker]

I only need to troubleshoot and diagnose. I actually can do many repairs with what I have in this bag. If I have a part to change I can bring tools needed for the repair. Yet why lug useless tools around? What tools am I missing for maintenance/ troubleshooting? Other than a lighter to relight standing pilots
