Inside Network Technician/Engineer Tool Bag

[@TheYaskoT]

I was thinking of presenting my tools in my bag on YT, got a few extra bits in mine, which I believe it's worth mentioning, maybe in future. #networkengineer

Really cool insight man, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. There's a lot of value in content like this so please keep creating and sharing if you like doing it. Is there a brand you trust or maybe a few different brands that make reliable but cheaper alternatives to the link runner, greenlee toner & prober kit, and punch down tool? the Samsonite Modern Utility 17.7" Paracycle bag has really been an amazing bag for me as a more generalized repair technician

NetAlly has a version of the linkrunner that is pretty much the exact same. Klien tools also has a network tester that is pretty basic but is very durable. I havent played around with many other toner's beside the greenlee one... i have been happy enough with it that there has been no need to switch. Almost everything i got was used from ebay, you can pick up some really good deals on there if you are watching. Glad the video's have been helpful.

[@DarteeFilms]

Did you move into your field with networking certs first and then applying or did you move into your position from a more generalized IT space and the certs came while doing?

[@ConfigItAll]

I started out as a college kid pulling wire and basically being a grunt for 2 years. I have never gotten any networking certs at all. I just worked hard and learned as much as I could where ever I was at. Most of the times I have had people reach out to me asking if I would come work from them, they never seemed to care that I didn't have any certs. There are companies that do require you to get certs. Some people swear by them, some people dont care.
