No more junk tools! Compact Veto toolkit with Wera, Knipex, Milwaukee to tackle most projects
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Looking for ideas on how to assemble and organize your toolbag? I collected a set of compact, multi-functional hand tools from Wera, Wiha, Knipex, Milwaukee, Dewault, and Dremel to replace the junk tools I've had forever. It's now super organized into a Veto TP-LC toolbag that that is just the right size to grab when I'm working on a project around the house and has everything I need to do 90% of my projects in a tiny kit.
In this video I walk through why I chose these multi-functional tools and organize them in this new Veto bag. I also show how this toolkit compares in size and weight to my Leatherman Surge toolkit and why I thin there's a place for both.

Hey all! I made a v2 of this toolkit with a ton of changes, check it out here:
ua-cam.com/video/VOkSFZuP3qs/v-deo.html
Suggestion : Get the Wera VDE Interchangeable Screwdriver set (The Hilti branded set is identical) ...
You won't use any other screwdriver after that.
Because it's so compact and has an ergonomic pouch that allows you to check if any Screwdriver is missing , after a year of usage , My staff have never lost a single screwdriver 🤣
I love having an excuse to buy some good quality tools.
Exactly this.
This is what I tell my wife when she asks for something "don't give me an excuse to buy more tools"
Wait.....we need an excuse?
Buying quality tools is the excuse.
I have no excuse, as a Millwright, quality tools matter. No busted knuckles from Harbor Freight tools
I went to auto mechanic school in 1972 , then in 1976 I got into Aviation Electronics and earned my first pilot's license. Kept working in Avionics paid my way for the rest of my pilot's licenses and became a Maritime Surveillance Pilot for 30 years. Never abandoned electronics or some light mechanic work so tools are still a passion. Love your channel keep up the good work. Thank you.
Nice kit. I've been in the commercial refrigeration service field for 30 years, and if you look in my van you will see multipal veto bags of varying sizes, from the belt pouch all the way up to the backpack. Veto is the only brand I will buy. Inside the bags, all you will find are Klein, Wera, Knipex, and Wiha. I have a ton of money invested in my tools, but when that's how you make your money, you get the best 👌
Thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate you for pronouncing wera and wiha correctly
Good to hear because I butchered Knipex!
A couple of ideas, the Klein 27in 1 precision driver will cover basically all of your small screw tasks and contains security bit styles I didn't see elsewhere. I'd also consider a small pair of Knipex bolt cutters along side the dikes. one thing I dont see that is a MUST is a magnetic screw retriever..super cheap and will save you a huge headache, I also like a pair of serrated locking forcepts for similar reasons as they can get into places that almost nothing else can.
Cheers!
Awesome, thanks for all the ideas. Big fan of your channel!
Which Knipex bolt cutters would be the most versatile
I am literally going to recreate that entire tool bag! My wallet will not be happy, but boy, that is a well thought out kit!
Cool. Set some alerts on Slickdeals and camelcamelcamel (Amazon) and you can slowly buy things on sale
@@todd.parkerthank you my friend
But people like me should sue you
Total price?
Works great, not sure why so many complaints from others ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Battery life is good and comes with two blades. For those complaining about the missing nuts... It's not detrimental to the functionality of the device and can be easily replaced with a string instead.
This is pretty dang close to the tool kit I’ve been dreaming about. Something high end,compact yet very capable. Well done might have to steal this set up
This has to be the best tool bag setup I’ve ever seen
That's a nice kit. For someone who lives in an old house, I can confirm that this would be an ideal grab kit to have in your cupboard instead of having to go to the tool chest everytime you need to do a job indoors (because my tools never find their way back to the tool chest). Only thing I would add, personally, is an RJ45 crimping tool and a few RJ45 plugs.
Thanks! That’s exactly why I set up this kit. Quick to grab and keeps my tools from getting lost. I’ll probably add a multi-tool and maybe a wire stripper
Agree pal, where is my hammer, oh its still in the kitchen from 2 weeks ago!
If you are just working on your house and buy these tools your probably not a great Investor. I'm a professional craftsman and it's hard for me to buy tools this expensive even though they make me my money, if I was just a homeowner there is absolutely no way I could justify having these tools
The camera case idea is great I finally have a use for them now.
I heard a great quote that helps me feel better about buying good and better tools. "The electrical trade requires skills worthy of good tools" insert whatever trade you wish. I love being a professional and having good tools makes even more fun
Nice setup! .. I really admire those who can function with the imperial measurement. Every time I see those fractions I think to myself that I'm very lucky that I live in a country that use the metric system 😅
Trust me, imperial is terrible but it’s what I’m used to. Still working to build an intuitive sense of metric so I can switch. Been buying metric tools, step one!
I hate Imperial , who ever thought 32nds , 64ths was a good idea ! Being a Lazy old Bugger , I wish I only had to carry one set of sockets , wrenches etc !
I wish the U.S. had switched to the metric system when the rest of the world did.
The imperial system is a real pain to remember all its various measurements, and those fractions 🙄
Alas I grew up being taught imperial, and I'm old enough to have used it so long it is indelibly ingrained in my brain.
With products imported from metric countries, and the inconsistent use of it here we need to buy 2 sets of tools. I guess that's a big win for tool manufacturers 🤔🙄
The worst thing I have dealt with is some American made vehicles of certain vintage have both imperial, AND metric fasteners on the same unit.
If you deal exclusively with metric you're lucky, and good for you 👍
Wish we had it that easy.
Wow, excellent DIY tool kit here! Thanks for sharing your ideas. I put together a "grab bag" for camping and road trips last year since I wanted to be prepared for most repairs or fixes while on the road. This one is way more extensive and I'll be sure to check out some of these options!
Thanks Jason! It’s so fun trying to optimize everything. I think I have a problem
Be advised Jason that you could probably buy an impact wrench from many reputable manufacturers for your RV/camper (which blow out tires frequently) and put together an effective grab bag for the price of the one shown in the video. Just throwing that out there lol
🎉 well I think you can arrange a coupon or qr code to purchase the jason special. In one click I be up for that.
great video. Thanks. It took me 6 years to find the tools I want to keep in my tool case. Since I keep my tools mostly in L Boxxes I still use a small one as case and a bigger one as box but I totally agree to use good tools. Next to wera I also use Gedore, Stahlwille, Knipex and Picard. They all belong to what we call the Werkzeug Mafia around Wuppertal and make awsome tools
I think it's awesome.
My tools are kept in a toolbox/cabinet thing in a tiny workshop/studio at the bottom of my garden. Which can be a pain when it's pouring with rain and you need a quick fix for something. In the time it takes me to get down there and get the tools I need I could have fixed it. And I always have to make several trips because I forget something. This would be ideal for me, and I'm a sucker for bags and cases. Got a Surge too!
Been binge watching a lot of tool tours and box lay outs and this kit both of them actually are quite impressive. to do everything it does and be under 20 pounds is quite impressive
Thanks. I've been refining this kit quite a bit, maybe I'll do a follow-up...
Q
Oooh this tickles my brain just right. I love the idea of having a simple kit in one bag. Saves me having to chase my workshop tools down from around the house when they get "borrowed".
Thx, that Milwaukee folding saw with changeable blades 👍🏼👍🏼& that prybar/hammer wow super cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I bought the veto pack after watching this video, mines more geared towards mechanics which is what I need. Today my neighbour stopped me and said his lawn mower was broken, grabbed the bag and fixed it, absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much for your video
Awesome. Isn’t it a great bag?
@@todd.parker yeah it is. Its been a fun project building up the contents really makes you evaluate what you really need, I'm sure over time it will continue to evolve with the odd thing swapped out or added
Only thing I would change is the $40 micro USB rechargeable headlamp at 600 lumens from home Depot... Super bright, compact, and also handy for dark work instead of the small 300 lumen LED flashlight you got on deck
Ain't a dirty tool in that bag!😂
Good plan because tools, like jewellery, are something where quality is far more important than quantity. It’s a lesson I wish I’d learned far earlier- it would have saved me a lot of money and frustration over the years.
Got some Wera, Wiha and Knipex and Klein for work. Quality professional tools! Will last and feel right in the hand.
Great video. Lots of products I never knew about that I now want. For me, that's a perfect tool kit to keep inside my house and save me a trip to the garage on a cold wet winter day.
Exactly why I made it. Sick of not having the right tools between the basement and garage
You can never go wrong with quality.
That is quite nice, profound throughout setup!
Quality tools is my mission for the next couple of years. I’ve started with Knipex and Klein. Going to research Wiha and Wera now. Thanks for the ideas!
Personally I’ve found them to be over priced. I’ve never regretted any knipex purchase though. For screwdrivers I would watch out for second hand snapon or vintage craftsmen.
Great review. Very thorough. You gave me some great ideas. I use the Leather man 300 model, it’s lighter than the Surge and the File is way wider and longer. I wear the Canvas Leatherman Pouch on my left side and bought the Knipex Pouch Combo Kit W/6” Wire Cutter and 6” Cobra Wrench for my right side. Carry one more individual Flashlight pouch on my right. With Combination I can repair many small things.
Nice to see some of the tools actually have some use
After just getting a new job and being ‘back on the tools’ this is just what I needed cheers 👍🏻
Love it. I do the same, and run basically the same toolset that you do. Same fastback, Check Plus, knipex, Surge, markers, dewalt tape, and many other same tools. You have great taste. Also i have 2 Veto bags. My TP3B rides across my body daily, and my MB-MC tool bag carries my fine carpentey hand tools.
I enjoyed this video, you make a lot of sense in your tools and uses and descriptions. Thanks.
Good stuff!
I've been using brushless 12v power tools for years for most jobs. Compact, light, and powerful enough for most jobs
After so many comments recommending it, it broke down and bought the Milwaukee Surge 12v and it's the most amazing tool. I was missing out!
I love knipex tools, very well made.
I've been waiting for this video my entire life. Thanks Mr. Parker! **Add all to cart - Buy it now**
Ha. Glad it was just what you were looking for. Good to see other people appreciate good tools and organization like I do!
I bought what I think is a good all around tool kit for my grandson for his birthday when he got his driver's license, The one thing I told him ,DO NOT LEND them to anyone ! 2nd keep them clean.
I have a very similar kit but I use a Milwaukee backpack and Klein screwdrivers. Thanks for the excuse to upgrade 😂 knipex pliers are a game changer. 10 years doing fire sprinklers
Todd I really enjoyed this out in Australia. Great to see some awesome brands of tools. I have a lot of the same and swear by them even when I get some looks for using European tools. Have now subscribed and look forward to checking out your other videos. Nic.
this is crazy... he has almost perfact tools in a one perfact bag. love it~
I recently got more organized with a toughbuilt tool bag and new tools I was lacking. Love being able to go to one bag for everything I need. I many of the same tools you do.
10:42 Hi Todd, another fascinating look into the Parker mind! Very nice organizational pouch and set of tools. Speaking of quality, I still have a set of Craftsman tools (socket set and screw drivers) purchased in the ‘70s that are still my favorite. I struggle with the myriad “once used” tools that sit in a drawer that might have a more fun life if donated. So, since I have completed my solar generator, grid failure project using two Delta 2s and a manual 6 circuit transfer switch and back up 100 ah 12 v LiFePO4 battery, I’ll get to reducing my 40+ years of tool accumulation, including power tools… Thank you for all your creative, well done videos that, surprisingly, dovetail with my current interests/projects. You have a knack for selecting video projects that are technically timely for me, and judging by the comments, many others.
Thanks, seems we both have shared interests. I know I’m supposed to focus on one topic but I like making videos on whatever random thing I’m obsessed with researching and building at the moment and hope there are others out in the world who might find it interesting. Glad you’re on of ‘em, thanks for watching
I work in farm and have been looking for an easy pack to organise my daily tools. This sounds right up my alley
Cool. That Veto bag is just enough to fit what you need but not so big you overdo it
Someone needs to think of a way to be able to purchase this entire kit with one click. Excellent video.
I should look into that, maybe I can make some sort of Amazon shopping list? In any case, everything is linked in the description. Thanks for watching!
I have the Wera mini tool set and I have to tell you as a long-distance truck driver and owner operator they are invaluable and of excellent build quality !
Great to hear! I really like my tool check plus. It’s just such a well thought out tool that packs in a ton of features.
Really good load out. Great job loading the bag up without overloading it.
Thanks 👍
I worked professionally as an electrical technician for 25 years, and my take is that a pro will use certain tools more times in a day than a home kit gets used in a lifetime - however, certain other tools get almost no use at all. I bought accordingly. My sidecutters and drivers were Bahco and Wera and I had a super expensive multimeter - but I also had a really cheap hammer, really cheap wrenches and frankly measuring tape was more likely to be lost than broken.
I also used a couple of VPP bags and my opinion is a bit mixed. I can't fault the build quality - I just think the design doesn't quite marry up with the materials. I found that the dividers were too stiff and in both the bucket bag and the Tech XL this meant a lot of inaccessible nooks and crannies in the bags and some redundant space that was too small to put things in and a lot of small parts or tools falling to the bottom.
All the tools Looks so new
That’s a diy dream kit great bag
My dream tool bag with all i need
I also use Wera, starting with the Tool Check plus but turned to the Zyclop set in the soft bag. For one due the Softpack wich fits in my Cargo trouser pocket and second for the long bits. I added the smal ratchet , a slim magnetic bit hlder and a long adabter for the boults using on the Impackt driver. In stead of the needle plires I use the multi electric pliers wich covers several functions. And I always wear a Pica Pen. As Bag I use the Velocity Pro Gear as it is cheaper and clos to yours. Bevore I used a Belt Pocket from Tough Build due to its Clip holder and free stand - handy on the ladder
Nice, organization is key. Tools have come a long way from when I first started buying them ....
Loved it sir❤. From Tamil Nadu INDIA 🇮🇳.
Such a great compilation of tools. I would love to have one everything you featured. I’ll get there over time. Thanks for this well produced and presented video.
Thanks! I made a new video showing all the steps improvements I’ve made here: ua-cam.com/video/VOkSFZuP3qs/v-deo.htmlsi=PUTvW-tgLbrwxyTU
I love that kit. Will be adding a few things to my small kit, but if I lived in an apartment or didn't have a lot of room this would be great! You can get a lot of work done out of that bag for sure.
The skil power driver is definitely a good pick, only being just under 40 bucks it has a similar power to the Dremel, nice light, and the action is done by a twist on a bit of the front of the handle. It also includes a non contact voltage tester and locking collet
It is also shorter than the Dremel, and would open a spot in your bag
I highly recommend one of the Dewalt electric screwdrivers like DCF680N2. You can get the driver with two batteries and a charger for around $100. Its worth it. The problem with an integral battery is if it runs out in the middle of a project, you're stuck. With external batteries you can do an immediate changeout.
The dremel is prefect! Thanks for the video mate.
Thank you for this video. Its comprehensive and I'm pretty sure I'm picking up a couple items from your bag.
Nice load out. Veto are so well made! Personally I would add a multimeter for testing voltage, continuity and other stuff. I like the Uni-T ones, especially UT210, as they are cheap and quite compact. Some can even measure DC current with the clamp.
You read my mind! I've been researching smaller clamp/fork multimeters that measure DC amps (I have a bigger meter that won't fit) and the Uni-T UT210e seems like a winner. Do you like yours? That could also replace my non-contact voltage pen. I see a follow-up video in my future with everyone's advice folded in...
@@todd.parker As a matter of fact, it's the 210e model that I've got (In my Veto TP-XL) . I like it very much. As you say, it can replace the NCV-pen and isn't that much larger anyway. Another nice thing about the UT210, the probes are replaceable too, and I'll probably change mine for higher quality ones in the future. They don't exactly feel like Fluke probes. I owned a pocket multimeter from Uni-t (120A I think it was, probably better suited for electronics) in the past, but since I wanted to measure current too, I got the 210e.
@@kristiangravem Cool. I'll be copying you then! I had the same thought on probes. I'd like to find a short pair of nicer ones like Fluke to keep the tangles down in this bag. I'm usually just testing solar panel arrays so I don't need much length.
Loved that the tools are clearly well used but maintained very clean! Good job on the video!
Thank you!
Very good quality toolkit, especially the minimalist design fitting as much as possible into as little as possible.
This is perfect! I struggle to assemble a good selection of tools to work at my 2 Daughters houses.
Yeah, that was always my dilemma too. I need to go places to work on things and would throw a bunch of stuff into a bag and always forget something. Now I can grab this plus any power tools or bigger stuff like a 3/8” socket set and know I’m good
Saved for future reference, will help me build an easy to move universal electricians set.
Good solutions, 👍
One way to save more space and weight is to use Wihas VDE screwdriver and bits fod it. Good luck 👍
Thought this was going to be more like a sales pitch, but its actually good info! Thanks for the vid. Good ideas!
Thanks! I paid for everything myself and just figured I'd share what's worked for me. Cheers.
12v Milwaukee compact drill and 1/4" impact are very good tools for their size. Especially with a 4Ah battery. They are small enoygh to go in a toolbelt.
Rodgid had a version of these, as does Bosch. Either one of those small sets works. The Ridgid drill isnt very nice, but the Bosch 12v is great.
Also added a 12v surge. You read my mind.
I do a lot of DIY stuff around the home and for friends and family and I have a very heavy and large tool bag/kit , I have to carry my kit on a luggage trolley. I do like your kit very compact.
Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Great video and great kit, thanks for posting the links 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
I love how you didn't buy any tool, you went with high quality tools! I wonder why there wasn't a stud finder in your kit? But all those tools are like every tool you will ever need or are always struggling to find when you need them around the house. LOL Thank you for this!
Thanks! I have stud finder but don’t personally need it enough to always have on me. I’ll grab it when needed
GREAT VIDEO!Thank you for tagging all the tools!
Love those Knipex wrenches with the leverage cam, and smooth parallel jaws.
One indispensable tool rarely mentioned is a Japanese Industrial Standard JIS crosshead screwdriver. They look like a Phillips but they definitely are Not. They don't Cam-out and chew-up the screw head
There are several decent generic manufacturers, but the leading brand is 'Vessel'
The silver and black coloured 'Vessel Megadora Impacta' even has an effective impact driver mechanism, yet it feels like a regular screwdriver only a few grams heavier.
Nice set up I recently moved to the West Coast and had all my tools stolen from me from my trailer it’s frustrating because money doesn’t come easy always believe in having the right tools for the job now I’ll have to start all over again when I can come up with the extra funds to do so frustrating that someone with one blow can take away from you something that you worked for years to put together all I can do is move forward
Bummer. At least the silver lining is you can buy new tools I guess...
I needed (wanted...) to make kit for my kid who moved out. I reckon a bag is perfect if regularly used, but a pain to store. Therefore I went for a Toyo metal toolbox. Perfect to store and will outlast all of us. A not to miss deal on a basic Gedore Blue set initiated to stick with Gedore only (OCD...). Sooo much fun to make sets like this!! Love seeing others
That’s a great gift. Looking forward to building toolkits for my kids
@@todd.parker Huge fun to figure out the basic essentials for 90% of repairs, which will last a lifetime (or longer) and in a tiny Toyo Y-350 Toolbox.
If you start when they are younger, you can make a list and jump on it when it's on a good offer. This way I'd got most of her high end pots, pans, cutlery etc etc for Ikea prices ;)
I had a great time assembling a tool kit for each of my two daughters as they left for college. Kits we're used almost immediately as they -and their dorm mates put together all of the gear thought necessary for dorm living. They still have, and use, those kits today and the younger has been out of co.lege for 15 years. They might roll their eyes, but to this day I'm adding to those kits on some gift-giving occasions.
It was also fun to assemble a stack of index cards for the older girl when she bought her home detailing the myriad of tools and stuff helpful in home and yard maintenance. Suggestions we're made as to priority, salient features, basic operational use, and price ranges. A few entries got specific recommendations. And a few have been donated and demonstrated.
@@eldongriffiths2770 Sounds as great fun
They probably laugh at you in the beginning (like mine) but so grateful afterwards.
I carry a backpack with a similar tool layout to yours, and similar explanation as to why I carry that, expect for I do carry a 12v Bosch drill and 12v angle grinder to cover most of the things I do often, before entering 18v territory.
Nice video, Todd.
A few small things off the top of my head that would make good additions to that set up.
- Demolition screwdriver or any striking cap screwdriver or small pry/pinch bar (Keep your insulated screwdrivers in good shape and try not to abuse them) Mayhew and Proto make a good product for that.
- A few wooden chop sticks ( You wont believe how handy these are, you can carve them to a desired shape for scraping, or any poking needs)
-Small pick set. (Don't cheap out on these either) Mayhew or Snap on.
-Magnetic Pickup tool
-Pencil. Markal Silver Streak for metal and Pica carpenter pencil for everything else.
I can go on and on and on. Maybe one day I'll do a veto bag tour.
Awesome, thanks for all the tips!
Forgot The moster important medial help like bandaid and emergecy tings for cuts. Im 57 and keep it ner me. Learnt The Hard way. Happy New Year all
What you have there my friend is Felix's Magic Bag. Very nice.
An excellent video. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾🎉🥰👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi, a small head torch helps when fiddling in small dark spaces, same with magnetic torch.
I have a huge snap on box filled with snap on tools, but this video has me wanting to go out and build this exact setup to keep in my car lol. Great video!
Wera makes great stuff.
I've re done my kit out a few times over the years like this butI end up just filling it with junk, my little main toolbag becomes heavier than my second and even trunk I keep at home!
Gonna have to go smaller bag like this with no room for junk. Good vid
Yeah, I Like to pack stuff in so I intentionally bought a small bag to keep me in check. Already at 16lbs and am swapping a few things out that might make it heavier
I have the Bosch version of the dremel thing you have.. exactly the same. I have used metal epoxy to glue a wera rapidaptor into the end so that bits don’t flop around or fall out easily… works like a dream 👍
Jinx. I recently did the exact same thing with my Rapidapter but used superglue. If that let’s go, I’ll try metal epoxy next time. So far so good and makes drilling pilot holes possible
That is a nice bag and a pretty slick tool setup 👌
Thanks 👍
Hi from the UK! I've been on a similar journey to you. I'd collected a number of budget tools over many years, an decided that the time was right to start replacing some of them with better quality tools. Well, it started with 'these screwdrivers are crap' and snowballed from there! I'm a homeowner, and don't 'need' the tp quality stuff, but it feels good. It was a bit spooky waching your video, as I've ended up with a very similar set up to you. I have the same veto pack, and it's ideal. Within it, I have the same wera hex keys, the same bit check, and of course the knipex cobras and pliers wrenches. I got the wera 1/4 zyklop instead of the ratcheting screwdriver, which I'm extremely happy with. And I'm using a bosch ixo around the house as a screwdriver as I had one ... but if that fails the deWalt impact is coming out. For my chisel, I went with the butterfly stanley. Other stuff I've got in there in there that you might consider - voltstick (mine is from kewtech), spirit level and and scissors (I have an amazing pair of electricians ones from CK that I keep on having to rescue from my wife) . The milwaukee saw handle is on my wish list. My biggest issue now is that my skills fall far short of the promise of all my tools ... and also that I keep on getting the old crap out as I don't want to damage the nice stuff!
Thanks for your comment, we seem very similar!
Best tool I’ve ever purchased is the m12 impact driver from Milwaukee. It’s super compact and the battery lasts all day. You’ll be hard pressed to find a household job it can’t do. Kit with bag battery and charger was $100 from Home Depot with free shipping. Best addition to my around the house tool bag I ever made. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s extremely compact and, in my opinion, a much better option than the dremel screwdriver.
Gah, I know you’re right. You’re going to convince me to finally cave and get the Milwaukee
BRO!!!! Exactly what I was looking for! 🙏🏻
Nice!
I don't like bringing my work tools into the house because my toolboxes make a mess. This would be a perfect little kit to keep around the house or take when helping someone move
I'm finally replacing all my old channel locks and Craftsmen pliers lineman pliers, Slip notched pliers. With mostly Knipex and a Vampires screw removing pliers. And a Japanese made 45 deg angled head mini bolt cutters.. finding it to be extremely expensive. As 110 120 116s dollars is not unheard of for a pair of Knipex pliers like they're 15 degree 10 inch offset head pliers or 16 inch cobra or 10 inch auto locking constant pressure clamp pliers for cars..
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing! Literally was looking for something just like this, featuring the TP-LC!
Glad you liked it!
Your Wera Micros are of 2 different series. The Green ones are the normal series, the Yellow ones have ESD protection. There isn't a *better* tool between the two, it's just, if you are not going to require the ESD protection just go for the Green ones, they are a bit cheaper and you can buy more sizes that way. I have few sets of the Greens to work on cameras, the 12, the 25 and the 11, while when I thinker with electronics, I use the ESD protected ones, but only the small set the 11. The ESD protected ones, even when there is a sale, go for as much as 2 sets of the Green ones (I'm in Europe, Wera, Wiha, Knipex, Hazet, Stahlwille are all a staple here and you can find them at sale few time during the year, so they are not extremely expensive, but are totally worth it).
Check out Klein NCVT-6. Replaces your laser measuring tool and upgrades your non contact voltage tester in one swing.
That is an excellent tool pouch! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Wera also have great little stubby
The only thing missing is a pair of Kline Electricrician Scissors. They are super handy and will cut wire, rope, paper, webbing, and cloth. The will take up almost no space in the bag too. If you add a coin size neodymium magnet you have a good stud finder the size of a ...well coin.
I literally just ordered a pair of Klein scissors last night! They look great and are really small. Good call on the magnet.
I use a lot of these same tools daily as an industrial maintenance tech
This is a wonderful display of careful consideration and practicality. Im getting into the electrical field and checking out tool reviews, Im really liking some of the options youve displayed here
Glad you liked it. I'm working on refining this kit based on everyone's comments and will do a follow-up at some point.
Id add a palm hammer, mini cold chisel, small pin punch and a centre punch.
