Veto Pro Pac TECH-MCT Low Voltage Contractor Setup

I do residential hvac and that ball chain trick would be magicial when running tstat wire in finished walls. Thanks always love pickin up other guys tricks to make life easier

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks for watching and yes it's great picking up tips from others. I used to use electrical tape to connect my wire to the chain, then one of the other trades just wrapped/coiled one of the conductor around the chain... bam! No tape, quick and easy. 😁

[@VashtheReapr]

@@AccentAlarms awesome thanks man

[@neverendingstudent]

Ah, yes, the Inkzall markers. I've used them before when I was doing gutter contracting work in the rain and wet - they perform as advertised. Mark on wet surfaces consistently. Really wet will sometimes be a runny mark but they work. Definite upgrade from standard sharpies.

[@AccentAlarms]

Finally used up my stockpile of sharpies and to date I greatly favor the Milwaukee markers so far. 👍😊

[@alejandroleyva6973]

The Milwaukee markers are GREAT!!! I switched to those and they are my go to on a job site

[@AccentAlarms]

I'm still waiting to give them a try, I've got a stockpile of sharpies to use up first. :)

Nice load out. Great video

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks for watching and the feedback. 👍

[@toolcartel4213]

Nice set up. Thanks for sharing, nice to see snap on tools being used in other trades. 👍

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks 👍 for watching and commenting! I know they seem pricey, but if you take care of them they will last a lifetime.

[@cali_misfit1387]

New to the field. i’m excited to start doing installs. I appreciate the content. I plan on building my load out similarly

[@AccentAlarms]

That's awesome! 😁😁

[@cali_misfit1387]

@@AccentAlarms Any fundamental tips? or videos i should check out that’ll help me?

[@AccentAlarms]

@@cali_misfit1387 Since so many of the "code & compliance" issues are based on local jurisdictions you will definitely want to check within your specific region. Typically, dealers and/or distributors can help point you in the right direction locally. I general thought I have is to always work as though the client (1) knows exactly what a good job is and (2) that that client is always watching you. In others words, do things the "right" way, even when nobody is watching. 👍

[@toolsandtrash6911]

Awesome set up dude

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks for the visit, some great videos over on your site as well!

[@jeremykoepplin1587]

The Milwaukee markets are awesome, i won’t use a sharpie after using them, they write so much better and can mark on Surfaces so much better.

[@AccentAlarms]

Still trying to use up all my sharpies, I'm going to get to try them soon though! lol

[@philipwilkins3812]

It’s a field that makes you proficient in several industries. My CPA was shocked that a gate technician really has 5 trades you must learn which makes it almost impossible to hire and keep an employee. I’ve always said it takes 2 years to teach someone this profession. Then they will usually go off to a mug larger company for the benefits or they start there own company.

Nice video- I’ll share my bag once I’m done recording

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks. Please do, love learning how others are using them.

[@electriciantv5174]

The Milwaukee inkzals are fantastic so much better than sharpies. After using the inkzals I won’t use sharpies

[@AccentAlarms]

I've got a couple more boxes of sharpies to use up then I'll give the inkzals a try. I don't want to try them until I use up what I have, if I discover that I don't care for sharpie anymore I'd be stuck with them. I guess I could keep them around for, "Hey, you have something to write with, I'll bring it right back?" moments. lol

[@ethansprojects7399]

I’m hv trying to learn about lv. Just subbed 🙂

[@AccentAlarms]

You probably already have most of the tools you need. 😁 Thanks for watching, best of luck to you. Enjoy!

[@cbreeden15]

The Milwaukee markers are good, but I like the RevMarks a little better. Especially since they make a white version. The only thing I don’t really care for on the RevMarks is their patented cap with a big clip. I don’t really find it useful, to me it just bulks up the marker. On the other hand the cap on the Milwaukee is very useful since it snaps onto a hard hat.

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks for the input! :) Have a great 4th!

[@NotToShabbyy]

Where do you buy that ball/chain and that magnet? That would be a life saver, I use a string with a nut tied to it, and use a hook to fish doors but your setup would be so much smoother.

[@AccentAlarms]

They are pretty awesome. I can't put links, but if you search Labor Saving Devices wet noodle it should give a some options. One is TechToolSupply dot com

[@brandonfeder3740]

Hey I am 17 years old and I watch all your videos and love the content your putting out! I always see videos on KZbin tho and when I go to try things myself I don’t have the tools required to do so, recently I have been using a box from a tool I bought on amazon, as my tool box, I duct taped the whole thing and put the few tools I have,inside the box , I am not trying to say I’m a charity case but I definitely would consider myself a little less fortunate than you. I was wondering if maybe you would be interested in getting rid of some of your old tools and stuff you no longer use, and I can put it all to great use. I would love to inherit tools from a guy like you

[@AccentAlarms]

Hey Brandon thanks for watching and for your comments. Trust me, when I was 17 I didn't have the same collection of tools I have now. I think my first tool was a pair of fence pliers! That's part of the fun; collecting, trying, and upgrading. I'd love to send you some of my "old" tools, but I've got my own kiddos who I'm helping and hoping will take to building their tool collections. Keep at it and don't quit, you'll find that over time you'll have tools you love!

[@danpavett8604]

Love the bag I have one myself. But….. you have a very silly hat on lol Also Milwaukee markers just like any other marker to be honest

[@AccentAlarms]

Agree, haven't found much difference in markers. Thanks for the feedback

[@RickyGPLB]

Lakewood, Colorado?

[@AccentAlarms]

Yes indeed. :)

[@oscrm1760]

What is the function of the chain . My english is not good

[@AccentAlarms]

That's a great question Oscr. The chain is used to drop inside walls, door jams, etc. then you use the flexible magnet to "fish" the chain out of a small hole lower in the wall/jamb. You then attach your wire to the top chain and pull it down/through the empty wall/jamb cavity.

[@oscrm1760]

Thanks bro excellent

Milwaulkee markers suck. Stick with the sharpies, great review.

[@AccentAlarms]

Thanks for the feedback, so far I've found that I prefer the Milwaukee markers maybe because they are something different that what I've used for the past "forever" years. lol
