I made a significant error in this video. I said Greenlee was not a very good brand of tools but I meant to say Commercial Electric. (Both Green) – Greenlee makes outstanding tools, Commercial Electric's tools are shit. Sorry for the mistake, now I'll go kill myself lol
Your use of expletives detract from your exposition.
square is called a robertson
as a Swedish electrician, I find your tools really weird 😛 and also do you need to buy your only tools?
its standard to get the tools from your employer here 🙂
I'm interested in this field. But I'm just indecisive because I dont know if the courses in college are hard . Do you have any advice or letting me know if the program of electrical technology is difficult if you have attended one? Pls
I think you should buy the least amount of tools just in case the job is not for you.ps I wanted to be an electrician from age 12! Never be rich but never be out of work.
Porter cable is a good brand I use it all the time
Klein has a beauty precision multi driver. Like the 6 in 1.
Calling it a square screwdriver was priceless. Like a homeowner calling it a star screwdiver.
What happened with Milwaukee? The best brand ever lol
Remember to tell the new guy to get the Bucket of Ohms from the van
Klein tools are exchangeable at Home Depot, no questions asked so when I blow mine up I can just get new ones for free
Apprentice tools? Really? Your tools and the apprentice tools are the same! No more and no less!
They are not Klein’s with an s….its just Klein ? And they are side cutters.
Klein is 162 years old… Crap that's old
Anything multi-tool sucks in the field. An apprentice working under me better have a separate standard and Phillips screwdriver in his pouch.
24:30. I have one of those but cant get it to work. Am i doing something wrong or is it broke maybe?
Awesome vid. I’ve done electrical part time for a couple years and wish I would’ve saw this. Thanks
"As an apprentice you aren't going to know what the fuck to do with it anyway" Wow people from miles around are lining up to learn from you I bet. Arrogant prick.
HAMMER!
Love your videos man!!! Quick question tho where do you get your tool belts from tho?? Thanks
I recommend getting tools with distinctly different colored handles that way you find the right one you’re looking for quicker and easier
Everything he said was spot on. I understand the appeal of the interchangeable parts for the multitools but I wouldn’t rely on those drivers bc you’ll fuck the whole thing up and I like my individual tools for when you strip one and have to keep a bunch of different ones and keep track. Gel Knee pads are a life saver for when you are in attics or when you are working in shitty rocky terrain. I keep just a small paint brush in my bag to dust off shit. It really helps more than you would think. Safety glasses are never a bad idea. Keep a few masks in your bag for when you are in shitty dusty places. Invest in some steel toed boots! Make sure you are fully stocked with different sizes of wire nuts and an assortment of screws, washers, and nuts. Washers are good for making spacers. A silicone glue gun is important as well. I like to toss an empty bucket in the truck too because it makes cleanup much faster and easier!
Pulling apart and reassembling the multi tool is super ASMR for some reason
Is being an electrician physically taxing??
Cool Name for your Business: Live Wire
I do most of my electrical work myself. I got most of those tools if not all including better quality voltmeters. The most money I had spent has been on the voltmeters and 200 dollar bags and pouches. It's good to have tools.
Hi, how much does an apprentice electrician make on average?
I live in NV.
This video is wack.
I personally love the feel of a long shaft in my hands.
Great video man i may not have to go to college lol. The teachers are useless anyways lol
Thank you so much for these videos, so glad I came across your channel. I'm 25, with little to no direction. I am willingly to work, and really excited I came across this. Being a electrician is something I can see myself doing. I am gonna bust my ass to become the best electrician. I can be. Going to be applying for apprenticeship programs soon. Thank you again.
What are plugs and switches? Didnt you mean receptacles?
Itty bitty screw drivers……lol….aka tweakers
Oscillating power tool was a game changer for me.
What a moron!
i use the southwire pliers i've used klein they are just as good and cheaper
Thanks for showing how to understand electrical and prepare to do things right.
I just subscribed so thank you again.
You forgot a horse cock and the elusive wire stretcher…… most importantly get a 11n1 Klein, a pocket knife, something to write on and something to write with.
Here’s a tip for the budding electrician: BUY YOUR TOOLS (Klein brand when possible) AND GEAR AT HOME DEPOT.
Home Depot is excellent about replacing broken, damaged, or old tools or electrician pliers. On top of that, Klein Tools are covered by lifetime warranties!
I went by there this afternoon after work and got my Ridgid work light ($99) replaced because it came apart while working this weekend.
I found some old rusted Klein diagonal cutters, an old beat up pair of Klein needle nose pliers, and a 6 inch small flathead screwdriver in my father’s old truck and took them to Home Depot… Went and found all of the new versions of said tools and grabbed replacements off the shelf, then took them (along with the old tools) to the customer service desk where they allowed me to exchange the old beat up tools for brand new updated versions of the same tools! Didn’t even ask for a receipt or proof of purchase!
Got about $75 of Klein Tools replaced free of charge!
From that day forward, I’ve purchased EVERYTHING I need for electrical work and general construction from Home Depot!
thanks for the video! im 24 and just decided to pursue electrical. I am in NY so im going to my local tech school for their electrical certification class. then look for an entry level position!
What is the part number for that tool pouch? It's the exact one I'm looking for.
Great video!
