I love my MP1! I bought it because of one of your earlier videos. It really is handy having a small assortment of tools right there when working on something. It's so much easier to grab a tool out of a pouch versus fishing around in your back pocket blindly.
The MP1 is a great piece of kit. I snagged a big magnet from holstery and keep it on the belt clip. I keep mine setup mostly for electrical/low voltage wiring and its nice to be able to stick it to whatever unit im working on.
Man I just stumbled across your channel and I’m not even into electrical work but found this to be great content. I’m surprised that you don’t have around a quarter million subscribers yet with your video quality.
I appreciate that… I’m getting better but my first UA-cam video was the very first thing I filmed and edited so I have zero experience. So that’s a great compliment. I am a person that does just about everything and I absolutely love tools. The best part about making this channel has got me in contact with many people just like me… been good to conversate back and forth. Appreciate you watching 👍👍
These pouches have a nice pocket set up I have bought 2 in the past 3 years because the belt loop setup is the weak link to these pouches they tear after about a years use.
I’ve heard that from multiple people. Mine has held up really well (knock on 🪵)… but it may give way tomorrow. Someone said they are going to be realeasing new pouches, but I haven’t seen anything on it.
Long before the days of Veto in the UK, I used to have a belt mounted tool pouch for front line maintenance work, but now I need a lot more tools with me for the work, so I find these pouches too limiting for me. Nice to see others are making use of them though.
Love your videos, especially with Sunday morning coffee! Just received the MP1X. The pockets are extremely tight. I was going to replicate your setup, but cant get my ncvt into that pocket. Hopefully i can get them loosened up over time. Thanks for the great videos!
You were the one who got one before they sold out on me 😂 I’m a big tools video watcher with my coffee too! Appreciate the compliment and you are welcome. This size pouch works extremely well for me.
FYI -- the TP1L and TP2L are the leather, USA-Made tool pouches - hence the higher price tag and lower production volume. ...they're also making the new Drill Holster and Tool Roll domestically - which is nice.
👍.. I knew the TP’s were leather. I had actually been wanting to get the TP2 instead of the MP2 just to try it out. It’s been sold out every time I’ve checked on it.
I was also a facilities manager for a large complex. I’ve been thinking really hard on starting my own business like you. Is that your only job at the moment…. Morgan’s Maintenance
Yes it is. It’s been going well so far but I already did a little side work before I went 100% so I had several contacts always wanting me to do more work than I had time. Because of that I have been busy most days and have yet to hand out a business card. I have mostly been doing bigger jobs… which is bigger money, but I want to build to mostly service type work. It’s just what I like doing, and it’s a little easier logistically and by yourself. That will just take time to grow one customer at a time. It is a little weird not having to “be somewhere” until a set time. But it’s super nice that when I’m done… I go home.
@@MORGANSMaintenance I'm in the same situation. Typically doing larger renos, prefer smaller jobs as better bang for time. And despite living in a very populated area where you can't buy a house for less than $1 million, people are cheap as hell.
@@espressomatic yeah I haven’t picked up many service customers in the last several months because I have been weeding out the cheap people… The service customers I want are the ones who call me and say “I want you to do it” . If I get a handful of those every year I will be in good shape. There is no money in going to look at a job that will take an hour, give them a price, then drive back to do the work a week later… unless you charge out the whazoo.
Appreciate that and thanks for watching 👍 I use it for repetitive work and job specific things. For most things you may need… or at least want more tools, but this has been my favorite small pouch so far. I grab my bigger bag for bigger tasks.
I haven’t done a lot of my “older” tools because I figure most people don’t want to see them. I really like this pouch though. I’m glad Raul suggested it. Appreciate you buddy. Hope all is well 👍
Yea, I had a bit railer one break only had it like 2 months I was kind of surprised. I emailed them but nothing as of yet. probably need a new design or strong stretcher rubber I'm guessing.

Perfect go bag type of situation maybe id swap the fluke for the kaiweets st100 since its also a multimeter just for more versatility
I do that sometimes for certain things but it takes a little bigger pocket.
It usually does get used out of this pouch though.
If I didn’t make my own Belt pouches , I’d carry one Fo sure !
Yeah if you have the talent to 100% customize to your exact needs… for sure the way to go

Try the "paddle" inside your belt / waistband, works way better than hanging out of a pocket.
I have thrown it in my pocket before but it felt loose…but where it hangs for me off my belt with the loop is about the right length for my arms.
