I want to do a little tool. Bag review. Show you guys what I use in my tool bag. My daily carry my daily everyday carry.
Is this veto tech pack and then, if I know I'm just going for a diagnosis or I'm working on top of a big shopping mall, I carry my little NB to my veto. Mb2 bag breakdown on my tool bag here I've had this tech pack for a few years now so typically down here in this pouch right here I just carry some rubber gloves and then my little uh gloves from Home Depot. These are the gorilla glove, a gorilla grip. You buy him in like a twenty five pack for the box, nothing crazy up here in the front.
I just keep my head light for working at night time, working in attics and different things over here. On the side. I keep a service wrench, so I'm electrical tape and some long extension fittings for my drill, nothing really! On this side, I used to keep a tape measure in there, but I find it getting stuck on a lot of things, so I really don't anymore, usually down in the front of my bag right down here, I've been keeping a tiny, little tape measure and if I find the need for a bigger one, this little tiny little throwaway, one I'll go get one from my van, but I stopped carrying it just because I wanted to reduce the weight down in my van okay, so I'm gon na unzip it and show you guys What I carry inside of it, okay, so inside my first pouch right in here remind you. This isn't what everybody has to carry electric drill with the adjustable 5/16 quarter, inch guy, my local suppliers haven't come out with a long extension one.
Yet so I'm still stuck use enough. I like to support the supply houses, if I can, but if they don't get those sooner, I'm gon na be ordering them online. This is the basic inside of my bag. This is just what I find to be a necessity.
Okay, I can do majority of my repairs with these tools. For the most part, aviation, snips. Okay, these are my not my sheet metal ones. I use these for cutting everything but sheet metal.
I beat the crap out of these things, they're, not sure anymore, a very dull. I use them to cut things you're not supposed to cut. I go crazy with them. Okay, it's always good to have a throwaway pair wire crimpers.
These are the Milwaukee brand from. I think from Home Depot I started using those they work. Pretty good quarter, inch 5/16 Klein's those work great, I'm not. You know specific to any brand.
I love this little Klein versus screwdriver. This is great for thermostats and stuff and yeah. It works really nice up here in the top. Is my service valve adapter for my service wrench? So you can do if you're working on the resi stuff, which I don't do residential, but this will open the service valves where this really works great in it is on the ice machines.
A lot of them have right angle, service valves and it's great for getting in there keep an extra extension up in here for the drill an extra quarter, inch 5/16, the I that's the malko brand is what it is, but just in case I ever lose one. I haven't lost one yet eighth inch drill bits really common with what I do. I use those and go through those like crazy, so keep two of those in my bag and ten more in my van quarter, inch Phillips head adapter for the drill, and then I keep a 3/8 a 7/16 and a half inch for the drill, also razor knife. Okay, right here, lineman pliers with 8-inch Crescent wrenches actual crescent brain, not that I care channel locks you can see. I use my tools for a lot of different things. Okay, these end up beating the crap out of things. I usually don't use a hammer, so you know needlenose pliers Klein wire strippers now meet. I really like the wire strippers that these are, and I like that they're longer, but I do not like the wire crimpers, okay sure.
I sometimes question myself and wonder why I can't just use these wire crimpers because then it'd be one less tool I have to carry, but I just love those ones. Okay, as opposed to, I carry my wire crimpers right here. Okay, I love these crimpers, but I don't know I'm just you know partial to the tools that I like dykes, work. Great, also keep a paint marker down inside here always carry a hose nozzle with me.
I've got some heavy-duty scissors for cutting the Napali filter media for reaching condensers wire. Brush works, great 6-inch, coil brush works great, you know again, these are just what I get used to. I carry the HVAC eight and one I think, or something like that and then over here in this corner, my deburring tool. I really like this d-brane tool works good for me here, yeah down in here.
I keep jumper wires, the magnetic ones for certain systems. You got to be careful on the magnetic ones, though, because they'll stick to the wrong thing and short things out. I got some 14 gauge jumpers and then just a normal. You know what 18 gauge ones.
Nothing fancy nothing else really in there. I keep some zip ties, wire nuts electrical tape. You know just miscellaneous stuff in here wire nuts hose clamp. You know just bunch of miscellaneous junk up in there, so that's pretty much it on this side and we'll go and open up the other side.
The other side over here I keep s J cord in here. That way, I can, you know, do some field splices without having to go to the band too much. I keep a set of knee pads in there my electrical screwdrivers when you're working on live stuff and prefer not to do it, but sometimes you have to field piece. Sc.
660 love. This meter used it for a while now there's my little wrench bag. Let's go over this real, quick, so bubbles, but I keep big blue in here - prefer big blue. It's my favorite leak detection, zoom, spout oil, rust, buster and then some night log, the universal night log and then up here, there's always a level that's pretty much hit in the back and then we'll go and open up this range bag.
Just the basic wrenches that I use, I like the ratchet wrenches, 3/4, 5/8 9/16 s, half-inch, 7/16, 3/8, 5/16 and quarter-inch. Unfortunately, I can't get the or I haven't been able to find the quarter-inch and a swivel on the end. But even if I did, I barely used the quarter-inch, so I wouldn't even spend the money on it every once in a while, it comes in handy where it comes in handy is, is just grabbing. You know the backside of a fitting like this. There's nothing like that. Anyways! I keep a smaller allen. Wrench, I have bigger ones in my van, but this one right here works great for fan, blades for walkins and different things like that, and it's lightweight this little thumb driver you can put a socket ratchet or I'm sorry sure you can put a ratchet on the End, I love this little guy. This guy works great geez.
I found this at Sears many years ago, so I don't even know where you find them now. I'm sure you can find them at Harbor Freight or something like that. I use a small Unibet and then a medium-sized Unibet. These are things that I use.
Often ok, I have bigger ones and stuff, but these are just the ones that I use most often and a scratch. Awl use that quite often that's pretty much it in the back side of my bag. On a lot of my bags, I use these velcro straps from Home Depot they're husky straps. This particular one is the perfect height when it sits in my van.
It holds it upright, just in case I was to get into an accident the bags not going to roll around in the back of my van, but they also work good for lifting stuff up, because on the previous vetoes that I've had, I haven't done it on This one by sliding the rope down you can wear out the rubber right here. You know if you just let it run through there as you're lowering the bag down a big ladder, or something like that. So I use this to rope it up now. So when you're dropping it down, you can slide it down.
Okay, so this is my everyday carry like I said this guy is my mall. Carry you know short strip. I kind of keep the basics up in here. Two Crescent wrenches.
Let's see a small set of channels, I've got a needle nose in here wire strippers. I don't keep crimpers in here just because I'm trying to cut down, even though I really don't care for these crimpers that you know they work in a tension when you need them two more dykes right here and there's a service wrench down inside here too. So you've pretty much got everything you need here. Obviously that bag doesn't stand up too well, but it's a great bag for taking on the roof.
I keep a little six in one. This is just one that I got it like a true factory class. I do have you know the the fancy 8, 111 and ones whatever they're cool. You know, but I don't know I still kind of go back and forth on whether or not it just like the cheapy ones, because you end up losing them and when you lose those fancy klein ones, you get really pissed off so but anyways. You know this. Just goes in my extra bag. Also, I don't know if I saw on the side of my video. I've got some electrical tape and then, on the side of this small video, I got some electrical tape too, and then I carry a meter in here and then a couple.
This is my: what is this in 902 now? This is a fluke. 376 client meter. Does everything you needed to do to so and then some zip ties brush an inch ball brush and then there's some jumper wires? Also in that come in very handy, that's pretty much it! You know. I don't carry a lot in this bag.
I just have a veto strap on it and depending on which bag I'm using. I might actually use the either bag. I'm using lately. I've been using the smart probes.
So I'll put my tablet: if I'm working with my troubleshooting bag I'll just use my phone but a lot of times when I'm shooting videos, it's not convenient to use my phone to run the smart probes, because if I'm trying to show something so lately, I've been Using the tablet, but, like I said, the tablet I won't take with that bag I'll take with this one, because I can put it in the back of it and then I've been really really using the field piece probes and I really like them. These are the JobLink probes, great little setup, their works with measure quick. As far as charging goes see my low side hoes. I got one of these fittings from true tech tools.
It'll connect right on there and you don't have to use the heavy-duty wrenches to tighten them down. They're just thumb tight and then I just put a Schrader in one side, actually, this administrator on both sides. So what I do like about these is the ability to put them on critically charged systems and here's. What I do.
I just have a three or four foot hose and I have a quick-release on one end and then a ball valve on the other, and then that way I can meet her the refrigerant in that's pretty much it guys. So I've thought about getting a smaller tablet that I can keep in this bag and maybe someday. I will but I kind of let that one burn out before I get rid of it, because it's lasted me a while and I'm just gon na use it till it dies, and then, when that one fails, maybe I'll get a smaller one that can go in Here, but the cool thing about this is you can just hook it onto either one of those bags just carry it with you. No big deal, okay, so that's pretty much it guys for the tool bag.
Let me know what you think:.
I hear you on those crimpers! A dedicated crimper works much better than the multi tool setup.
Have you ever used the Knipex ergo stripper?
I love you tool bag, can you help me where can i buy that kind of bag. Im presently here in the Philippines. Thank you
I have a good number for a chiropractor Service area Nepean??
I just changed back to my tech pac . I do commercial hvac and hate to go back to ban to get a tool I forgot so the tech pac holds Everything I need
I thick you dont do install ?
You forgot to buy your pro camara.
my father gave me this knife
I learn a lot the way is organize and have the right tools handy thanks for teach us o I can say to me
Miss the old style like yours, had mine for about 6 years then it was stolen from my utility bed. Bought the new one but cant get used to the different layout I'll take the old one in a heartbeat
I love the Veto bags they are well made , and last for a long time , but they are not made to be carry all day , the bag empty weights a ton , if you going from your van to the roof , they are ok , but if you work in a apartment complex, or a building and you have carry that bag full of tools all day forget it about it.
Once I start installing the indoor unit I’ll buy that bag for sure
I wat the bag
I have a few of these bags. Worth it!
Nice load out!, I carry pretty much all the same stuff but I ditched the joblink bag and keep all my probes in the shoulder strap side of the backpack
Pretty much all the same stuff in my bag, you're missing an awl though, don't use one?
What tablet do you use…?
Nice tool load outs Chris 👍 I have the MCT & MB2 veto bags 🔧
Required to india
Where can I get the valve for charge for the fieldpiece probes
Nice video Chris, would definitely suggest the shock proof case with the shoulder strap for iPad. Makes climbing around in attics and on ladders much easier when bringing tablet+tool bag.
Trying to decide which veto back pack, tech pac or the mc backpack which is a little smaller. After seeing your video that the knee pads fit perfectly in there, that's the one I need. Plus if you need the extra room for more toosl for the day no problem. I know alot of other reviews say that the bigger the bag the heavier. Which is true. How heavy is your bag Chris with this set up you have in this video?
I typically use an open bag, similar the your troubleshooting bag, but a little larger, only it doesn't have a cover flap, I have found, if you go to big, you put tools and loose screws etc. into it, it becomes to heavy and will break the shoulder strap, which will always break and slap you upside the head at the top of the ladder as you hoist it to the roof! It only took twice to learn to tie the straps to the bag and go smaller. LOL Service area Ottawa??
Sir can i have some oldtools from you..?im an aircon technician in philippines ..i have my own tools but its only a generics i want to try some originals like yours..hope you see my comments thanks and god bless
Where can I find cheap hvac rolling bookbag
hey, i just got my veto backpack too. where did you get that strap for the handle? Service area Kanata??
WhAts your reason for not liking the crimpers on the wire strippers? I have the same greenlee ones and love them never had a problem with the crimper no need to carry an extra tool Service area Barrhaven??
Agree on the crimper Bad crimp can be time consuming to trace down
I would be more pissed of i lost my True 6 in 1 lol.
I do like the Vito range but I find the Velocity range of tool carriers and bags far better value for money 👍🏴
But the main reason of carrying a backpack tool bag is so you don't have to hoist it up and down a roof Are you in Orleans ?
Your setup is very similar to mine. In addition to What you have, i also keep a small pipe wrench and a wire brush for heating season. Nice video
hvacr bag price
@quantrell Bishop has all you hvac clowns on strings.
I am definitely getting that Veto Tech Pac in the future.
Where we can order that bag sir? Online thankss
I’ve been wanting to get those fieldpiece probes for a while now but I don’t know if they’re going to be coming out with newer versions of them soon .. I know eventually they are it’s just a matter of when
Hi I have seen flashlight magnetic base could you please send me the brand, I like to buy one . Thx
Why dont u use an impact? And yea the 4 in 1 and the 11 in1 klein screwdrivers are awesome.
Looks like one hell of a backpack. When I first got into the trade, i was in the sheet metal shop making duct and the Milwaukee jobsite backpack was great. Everything fit nice and its convenient. But once i started going out in the field installing duct and units, i outgrew it pretty quick. Just didn't have enough pockets. I then had the husky 18 inch tool bag. Was big enough, but i didn't really like the way it was shaped after a while. Now i have the husky 14 inch rolling tote and it's been great. But I'd like to get another back pack or shoulder bag and this seems like a good one!
EDIT i got the veto tech pac mc about a month ago and I love it! A little smaller than the tech pac. And i just so happened to have a husky hang all in my garage, so i put on the hadle like you did. Wasn't a cheap bag, but its definitely tough and well set up.
Hey brother love your videos very informative but hey just wanted to say if you haven't found a 1/4 swivel ratchet wrench check out tekton tools they have one and there not too expensive like under 20 I think I picked it to and the 5/16 the other day and they feel pretty good check em out
I like the open bag Are you in Barrhaven ?
Chris I’m curious as to what the fieldpiece meter has over the fluke that would make it your primary meter? I’ve always bought fluke and never even thought of anything other than fluke for a meter but I do need to buy a back up meter and seen a used one for a good deal
No band-aids in the bag? Never know when that stray piece of sheet metal may cause you to spring a leak. I always try to keep some in my toolbox, though I'm guessing you probably keep a first aid kit in the van? Are you in Nepean ?
I love that the Mb2 is extremely compact but has capacity and a nice price point. I’ll have to get one. I have the veto tech MCT bag. I like it but it’s just. Idk. I think that the PAC would be more roomy? If that makes any sense.
I love your videos, they have taught me so much of the details in hvac work and I appreciate it. Also, what is your opinion on what positions and fields would someone just getting out of an HVAC course start off in?
That Malco extension is the best, use it all the time. Are you in Ottawa ?
