    As a tech of 35 years experience the only thing I disargee with is the need for new techs to splash out for a Fluke meter. You need a decent quality multimeter, don't get a cheap one, ever. But you don't NEED a Fluke.

    • @thunzie
      @thunzie Місяць тому

      You probably already bought it, but you don't need Fluke. You just need any good quality multimeter for this work. Cleap will work also, but for the confidence you should at least buy a medium priced meter.

      I started out using Klein tools. Unfortunately, the quality has declined. They are more costly, but it has been my experience that German tools like Knipex, Falco, and Stahlwille are made better. I have Knipex channel locks for example, which are twenty years old, and still do the job well.

    Texas ? Bruh, you lost me. I have been in the Fire Life Safety industry since 1989. It's different in California better know what your doing (inspectors). Anyone who take inspectors (or any job titles he mentioned) you will not last. Service is like S.O.F, your deep past the wire, poor intel, limited resources, and you have to same the day. Installators are grunts. Run and shoot surplus aint but a click away. Be cool with the locals. I love this industry.

    Yeah the pricing would've been nice to say that pms can make up to 120k, sales people can make up to 200k if they sell their ass off. Designers have cad guys that make 20 an hr...and then the guy who stamps it makes 75k-150k. but pretty spot on 🤘
