In today's society of instant gratification, it's great to see young people getting into old trades, starting at the bottom but still having a passion for the work. Keep up the great attitude and you'll go places.
Hey brother, 20 year old data guy here. Just wanted to stop in and say you are a phenomenal person. You are an inspiration to so many people so please keep up the great work. You are encouraging so many to be grateful for what they have and to keep a smile on your face. Never stop creating content and continue to smile, it’s contagious
Thank you Brother, I’m just trying to show people out there that there’s other things to can make a career out of & that it’s never too late to start a new career! Thank you for support I truly appreciate it. One Day At A Time.. 🙏🏽
The first thing I was told as an apprentice, was to not spent money on tools that you see other's with. It's like keeping up with the Jones' and it's not gonna help with the budget starting out. Buy the basics and work with what you got and when you get more knowledge and time under your belt, then the money grows, then and only then, buy the more "worthy" tools.
Thanking people for 29 subscribers is one of the most humble things I have ever heard. Youre going to good places. Youre also helping people like me. I'm trying to become an electrical apprentice right now :)
Hey brother congrats on 6 months in ! Im glad there’s new people getting into the trade . I’ve been doing this for 3 years. I’m an automation tech , I’ve been doing industrial automation/ electrical since I started back as an automation apprentice. I’m getting more into the electrical side from underground all the way to panel , breaker , main disconnect installs it’s awesome! I love it ! 1 thing I can tell you if your willing to get some is a pack of insulated screwdrivers . Klein has a 6 pack for $ 30-35 if it’s in your budget . Theres Philips , flatheads , and square screwdrivers . I’ve had a couple of times where we were working and someone turned on power or someone was back feeding into the motor panels. Stay humble and keep at it !
@@nathanielc7368 Thanks Nathaniel for the advice & the support! I can’t wait to purchase some insulated screw drivers, hopefully for Christmas!🤞🏾Keep grinding Brother & enjoy the journey!👍🏽
Just got my apprenticeship so it’s great to see a realistic list of stuff for an apprentice. Look forward to following your journey. Big love from Australia
Congratulations Jake! I know that was a big step for you in your career getting your apprenticeship, take it one day at a time. When it comes to the tools get what you can afford, it all takes time. Shoutout to Australia Brother! Proud of you & Thank you for the support!🙏🏽
Your video just randomly appeared on my feed but i feel i had to watch it. Ive been in the trade for about 9 years now, still got ways to go since getting my j card about 3 years ago. I remember being in that spot your in now back when i was like 20 lol and all i can say is, stay consistent with it bro, join an apprenticeship if you havnt already and dont be afraid to ask questions. I hope you stick with the trade.
@@AlexRodriguez-xb6vz Thanks for the support & the advice Alex, it’s definitely ups and down throughout the journey but like you said stay consistent! Taking it one day at a time.. Keep grinding on your journey as well..👍🏽
It's so good hearing happy to have it 😂 man I feel you on that tools are super expensive when you're starting out gotta be happy with what you got love the video man.
Great setup. Honestly can’t complain about your setup, it is solid. Also an electrician here, of two and a half years, have many of the same tools. Like many have already mentioned, invest in the best tools that you can afford, they will serve you well. Love your energy and very well spoken. Just subscribed to your channel. God bless brother and have a happy and great new year!
I really appreciate it Brother! I’m so excited for my journey and learning each and everyday, just trying to be the best that I can be. In a few more years you’ll be able to take your Journeyman Test, You Got It! Thank you again & Happy New Year!
October 3rd made a year for me in my journey! I actually love to get up early in the mornings now to head to the job site, unlike when I was working at them warehouse jobs lol. Oh and I just became your 178th subscriber!
Congratulations Austin on making it to your 1 year mark, My 1 year is April 21st! It’s an amazing feeling waking up going to work & learning knowing you’re working towards your career. Thanks for the Support & Thanks for Subscribing also Happy New Year!🙏🏽
Before jumping into the M18 line, consider the M12. For most things it is powerful enough and it is so much lighter and more compact. Only problem would be tool options, as maybe you need something that they do not offer. But for a drill+driver+sawsall+bandsaw+cut-off tool they have you covered
Thanks Victor, I’ve heard and done some research and the M12 doesn’t sound bad at all, Most people tell me to get the m18 because it’s stronger.. But I’m leaning towards the M12 we’ll see what happens for Christmas! Thanks again for the support & Merry Christmas!🙏🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman Merry Christmas and thanks for the reply. I got into the m12 line because I found a second-hand drill for cheap. And I loved it from that moment. Maybe a truck mechanic needs the extra power that comes with 20 volt tools like the m18, but for most scenarios the m12 wins due to size and weight. Instead of 2 tools (like your ryobi drill+driver) you can pack 3 in the same space. Who recommended M18? With due respect, but in the last years lithium batteries have improved a lot. Maybe they are 15 to 25 years older than you, and back in the day 12v was underpowered. But I have seen m12 impacts removing lug nuts!
i think the vast majority or tools have a usable service life, after which they need to be replaced anyway. buying really fancy tools is cool and all, but don't think that just because you paid $100 for some pliers means that they'll magically last forever. also, getting all mid-range tools at the start is probably the BEST idea because after you use them for a while, you WILL notice a FEW tools that burn out faster than the rest. and then, you know that those few tools that burned out could probably be replaced by a higher tier set. in my opinion, the bags, tool boxes and organizers you use to store your tools might be a good place to invest in. if one tool fails, it's probably not the end of the world. if your primary tool bag that holds most of your tools you're using for that day fails.......... that's probably going to make the rest that day not so fun. IMO, you're starting with a pretty decent set!
@@mattsmith6828 Thanks for the advice Brother, I think you’re absolutely correct with everything you are saying! Everything doesn’t have to be high end but finding something in the middle is a great place to start.
Cameron I appreciate the support! All of the big money stuff is nice & I can’t wait to get some new things but you’re right one day at a time.. Thanks again!🙏🏽
I reconmed the hercules power tools from harbor freight, ive used my impact driver in automotive for a while and no issues just looks cleaner than ryboi but both gets the job done lol , pretty excited to get started in this trade, you need a lot less tools than in automotive along with better pay, a win win , i havent even started yet but i pretty much have the basic tools to get started 👍@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman
Use an M12 Fuel Impact with their 2 or 2.5 HO batteries. Compact and light, you’ll use that for most jobs, invest in M18 Fuel for the rest of your products as they have a bigger ecosystem to buy into than M12. This is if you’re going Milwaukee route.
I Got you brother I been looking at reviews about them and hearing nothing but great things & Im going with Milwaukee! Appreciate the support & Thanks for the advice..🙏🏽
Thanks Kevin I really appreciate it, Doing the best I can in this new field that I’m in. Taking it day by day & Steady trying to learn.. Thanks again for the support & Merry Christmas!🙏🏽
I’m no pro, but I have 10 years of experience cutting cardboard boxes. Your Milwaukee fastback is the best utility knife on the planet. For more blade life, it’s either DeWalt carbide or the more expensive Tajima blades. Nothing else comes close in my experience 👍🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman I’m promoting just those DeWalt carbide blades for the Fastback. The DeWalt utility knife itself is no bueno. I’ve already tried it 🤷🏻 The Japanese Tajima blades are expensive, but totally worth it 👍🏽
Keep up the good work bub. I’m a 2nd year apprentice and I’m doing the same thing, every couple weeks picking up a tool that I didn’t have at a job that I wish I did.
I truly like 👍🏾 your videos especially in today’s time not much our people doing trade videos you never to old to do something you always wanted to do don’t Let fear cause the hesitation . God bless you my brother
That’s why I do it Brother, to show other people that it’s other things you can do & it’s never too late to accomplish your Dreams.. Thank you again for the support!🙏🏽
Keep it up! Ow your Klein multimeter has a more sensitive NCV built in to it than your Kobalt NCV. I use that all the time when I am dealing with electricity. About 1 inch before touching the hot wire, the meter will go off. Take it easy.
Thank you, I definitely want to upgrade my NCV to the Klein one. Thanks for the tip about the Klein Multimeter also, I’ll try it out tomorrow at work.. Thanks for the support🙏🏽
Man keep at it! Very good trade!!! I’m an industrial maintenance technician…. I do anything from troubleshooting machinery with a meter to wiring up 3 phase panels! Keep on rolling bro! With time comes experience!! 😎
Industrial Maintenance Technician that’s sounds cool, They got you doing everything over there! I appreciate it brother I’m trying not to get to high or to low taking it one day at a time & keep learning! Thanks again..🙏🏽
Be sure and put some type of tracking devices s much as you can on your tools. At least the more expensive tools. I have my truck stolen a few years ago and they took my pouch which was 20 years old at least. It was older but it was broken in to it fit all of my tools just right. It took years to get it that way. Now I have a new Klein leather pouch and it is not broken in so getting the tools in and out take a lot of effort. You are right when you say it will take time. Remember that with the electrical industry. Time and experience are your best teachers.
Thank you! sorry to hear about your truck getting stolen especially with your tools, that’s very unfortunate. I didn’t even know they made trackers to put on your tools I’ll definitely check it out. One Day At A Time, Thanks again..🙏🏽
Thanks for the Support Robert! Starting you’re apprenticeship in September that’s amazing that’ll be here in know time, You got this one day at a time..👍🏽
very cool man, watched this vid to see what else i might need for tools as well . I start my apprenticeship on wednesday so really nervous for that but excited as well with how you explain yourself . Love the video , God bless man .
@@nathansantos3611 Thanks For The Support Nathan! I’m super excited for your Big Day Tomorrow, Don’t Be too Nervous try to have fun & Enjoy this new Journey. You Got This!👍🏽
Good kit you’ve got! I’d recommend getting yourself some knipex cobras and a set of their pliers wrench. Klein also just came out with a 9 in 1 hollow shaft nut driver that is so much better than the 7 in 1 IMO. M18 fuel stuff is expensive but don’t be afraid to go with the M12 fuel tools. They’re cheaper, smaller, less power for sure, but will do 90% of what you need.
I appreciate it Cody! I’ve heard nothing but great things about knipex hopefully in the future I can finally get me a pair. I haven’t seen the 9 in 1 from Klein I’ll definitely check that one out. I feel the same way about the m12 fuel tools, but everyone who I work with says it’s going to be a waste of money so I’m torn in between which one to get.. Thanks for the support!🙏🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman don’t listen to that crap. Lol. It’ll get the job done. If you need a bigger tool that’s why you have a journeyman with you.
I will just say if you are doing mostly new install work I would stay with 18volt stuff. Personally I do mostly service work. 12v is the way to go for that.
We do a little bit of everything, new construction, commercial, regular house calls & etc.. But I get what you’re saying hopefully I can get it for Christmas!🤞🏾
Good to see my brother in the trades. Union? I just started as well. Class is pretty grueling but I can’t wait for the pay down the line. Don’t forget to mention God in your videos. 👊🏾
I Appreciate the Love Brother.. No union for me at this time, just learning and trying to get better day by day. I definitely hear when you said class is grueling, keep your head up you got this. Your absolutely right none of this is possible without the Grace Of God..🙏🏽
I wonder how long it will be until you get the first Veto Pro Pac, hehe, not a big fan of the Milwaukee packs, too much red! Love the Milwaukee tools, though.
@@GeorgeXCIX Appreciate Brother! I definitely like the Veto Pro Pac they’re just too pricey for me.. Maybe when I Become a Journeyman. Thanks for the support Brother!👍🏽
Hey man good set up to start out with. Beennin the trade for 8 yrs now. Newly journeyman. Used to work in non union shops and decided to go union. Glad to see you getting into this. If you ever wanna compare tool bags and what not give me a shout out. Keep going man and keep up the good work
Thank you Brother! I really appreciate it, taking it one day at a time.. Proud of myself but I know I have a long way to go. How do you like working with the union since you work non union for so long?
Higher pay man honestly lol. It's been working tremendously more than I thought it would be. It makes it easier to be able to visit my kids out of state and work at the same time. I love the milwaukee back pack but honestly man look at veto pro pac. They are amazing and worth the money. Yes they are expensive. But I got my XXL-F almost 4 yrs ago and wouldn't go back to anything else
Thanks for the info, Those Veto backpack are really nice especially the all black one! Thanks again for the info about the Union job, Much appreciated!🙏🏽
Before I would have a knife in my pocket all the time It was never really that sharp. Now I have a small folding razor blade so much better to just change the blade vs sharpen a knife for me. But I also have a 2nd razor blade that I keep fresh and just use it for striping bigger wire. And I will change out that blade as soon as it starts to get a bit dull.
I understand Justin, I really do like my razor it’s a little annoying when the blade gets dull really fast. I’m definitely still going to keep it I might just get the knife to see which one I like better. Thanks for the suggestion & the support!
I really like your set up if you want a really good impact but can’t afford the Milwaukee one look into the Hercules impact I love mine it was 97 came with a battery and a fast charger
I appreciate it Jonathan, I did see Hercules when I went into Harbor freight hadn’t heard to much about them since I’ve been in the trade but I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks again for the support!👍🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneymanlook into the beginners Milwaukee brushed impact and drill. I got my set along with 2 batteries and a charger for 100 dollars.
I want the Milwaukee fuel version too 😢😂 We will get there brother it’s the process 💪🏻🔥 Also, invest in a reamer not the handle version like Klein has just the reamer itself 👍🏻 can add it to the drill
I appreciate it Jorge! One day we will!🙏🏽 That Klein reamer was on my bucket list, I didn’t know they made one you could put in your drill, I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks for the support Brother!👍🏽
M12 bandsaw up to 2 3/8 gap instead of a saws off and instead of Klein strippers just get the knipex hybrid strippers you won’t regret it and don’t forget the hole saws
Hey man nice video! I’m looking at getting in the trade so this definitely helps. One question I have is did you go to trade school or find work with zero experience?
Appreciate it Shawn! I looked into trade school but decided go another route. I was able to get hired at company with no experience. Someone will give you an opportunity just make the best of it, You Got This..🙏🏽
Jesse the first thing I would do is order your license off TDLR, it’s about 15-20 bucks. Someone will definitely give you a opportunity with know experience just be ready to learn & work, Keep applying on indeed but also call around your local electrical company’s and speak with them let them know your apprentice with know experience and looking to start your career in the trade. Keep doing that believe me some will give you an opportunity! You got this..🙏🏽
@@Trreee Honestly I would call every electrical company in your local area and let them know you want to start your apprenticeship. I would even go up there and meet in person if you could..👍🏽

M18 fuel stuff is expensive but don’t be afraid to go with the M12 fuel tools. They’re cheaper, smaller, less power for sure, but will do 90% of what you need.
I appreciate it Cody!
I’ve heard nothing but great things about knipex hopefully in the future I can finally get me a pair. I haven’t seen the 9 in 1 from Klein I’ll definitely check that one out. I feel the same way about the m12 fuel tools, but everyone who I work with says it’s going to be a waste of money so I’m torn in between which one to get.. Thanks for the support!🙏🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman don’t listen to that crap. Lol. It’ll get the job done. If you need a bigger tool that’s why you have a journeyman with you.
@@codyhoward6509 You’re right that’s how feel, The Journeyman has everything!😂
I will just say if you are doing mostly new install work I would stay with 18volt stuff.
Personally I do mostly service work. 12v is the way to go for that.
We do a little bit of everything, new construction, commercial, regular house calls & etc.. But I get what you’re saying hopefully I can get it for Christmas!🤞🏾
Good to see my brother in the trades. Union? I just started as well. Class is pretty grueling but I can’t wait for the pay down the line. Don’t forget to mention God in your videos. 👊🏾
I Appreciate the Love Brother.. No union for me at this time, just learning and trying to get better day by day. I definitely hear when you said class is grueling, keep your head up you got this. Your absolutely right none of this is possible without the Grace Of God..🙏🏽
I wonder how long it will be until you get the first Veto Pro Pac, hehe, not a big fan of the Milwaukee packs, too much red! Love the Milwaukee tools, though.
@@GeorgeXCIX Appreciate Brother! I definitely like the Veto Pro Pac they’re just too pricey for me.. Maybe when I Become a Journeyman. Thanks for the support Brother!👍🏽
Hey man good set up to start out with. Beennin the trade for 8 yrs now. Newly journeyman. Used to work in non union shops and decided to go union. Glad to see you getting into this. If you ever wanna compare tool bags and what not give me a shout out. Keep going man and keep up the good work
Thank you Brother! I really appreciate it, taking it one day at a time.. Proud of myself but I know I have a long way to go. How do you like working with the union since you work non union for so long?
Higher pay man honestly lol. It's been working tremendously more than I thought it would be. It makes it easier to be able to visit my kids out of state and work at the same time. I love the milwaukee back pack but honestly man look at veto pro pac. They are amazing and worth the money. Yes they are expensive. But I got my XXL-F almost 4 yrs ago and wouldn't go back to anything else
Thanks for the info, Those Veto backpack are really nice especially the all black one! Thanks again for the info about the Union job, Much appreciated!🙏🏽
Before I would have a knife in my pocket all the time It was never really that sharp. Now I have a small folding razor blade so much better to just change the blade vs sharpen a knife for me. But I also have a 2nd razor blade that I keep fresh and just use it for striping bigger wire. And I will change out that blade as soon as it starts to get a bit dull.
I understand Justin, I really do like my razor it’s a little annoying when the blade gets dull really fast. I’m definitely still going to keep it I might just get the knife to see which one I like better. Thanks for the suggestion & the support!
nice kit,I wish you luck, with algorithm as well :)
Thank you, I really appreciate it..🙏🏽
All you really need is linesmans, a square shank flathead and a tape measure
I guess your right about that..😂
Soft hands brother. I only use my teeth. I've been doing this job for 50 years and I'm only 19 🗿
@@GeneralBBBlackSheep is that why you reply to old youtube comments? Tard
I really like your set up if you want a really good impact but can’t afford the Milwaukee one look into the Hercules impact I love mine it was 97 came with a battery and a fast charger
I appreciate it Jonathan, I did see Hercules when I went into Harbor freight hadn’t heard to much about them since I’ve been in the trade but I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks again for the support!👍🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneymanlook into the beginners Milwaukee brushed impact and drill. I got my set along with 2 batteries and a charger for 100 dollars.
I want the Milwaukee fuel version too 😢😂 We will get there brother it’s the process 💪🏻🔥
Also, invest in a reamer not the handle version like Klein has just the reamer itself 👍🏻 can add it to the drill
I appreciate it Jorge!
One day we will!🙏🏽 That Klein reamer was on my bucket list, I didn’t know they made one you could put in your drill, I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks for the support Brother!👍🏽
Loved the video. You should throw your venmo up there. Can't hurt!
Chris Thank you for the support, I Got You!👍🏽
Love the vids 🙌🏻
Thanks Brother..🙏🏽
6 months in nice. im 9 months
into mine
Congratulations Brother almost at the 1 year mark..
M12 bandsaw up to 2 3/8 gap instead of a saws off and instead of Klein strippers just get the knipex hybrid strippers you won’t regret it and don’t forget the hole saws
@@billyvazquez3212 Thanks For The Advice Brother, I Appreciate it..🙏🏽
Spend the money and get some Knipex cobra pliers. There really is nothing better
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Knipex Cobra Pliers, I definitely want to get some in the future!
Brah I’m also Steven, and I got mostly the same tools but I’m still trying to get into the trade
What’s up Steven, keep applying brother someone will give you an opportunity you got this! Let me know how it goes & Thanks for the support!🙏🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman thanks brother, taking the njtac math course now 🤞
You Got This..🙏🏽
you should put the links down below so you can pick up a few bucks if guys purchase stuff clicking on your links
To be honest I didn’t even think about that, but thank for letting me know..👍🏽
Hey man nice video! I’m looking at getting in the trade so this definitely helps. One question I have is did you go to trade school or find work with zero experience?
Appreciate it Shawn! I looked into trade school but decided go another route. I was able to get hired at company with no experience. Someone will give you an opportunity just make the best of it, You Got This..🙏🏽
Any tips for your boy? I've been trying to get into an electrician, but it seems like everyone only wants experienced.
Jesse the first thing I would do is order your license off TDLR, it’s about 15-20 bucks. Someone will definitely give you a opportunity with know experience just be ready to learn & work, Keep applying on indeed but also call around your local electrical company’s and speak with them let them know your apprentice with know experience and looking to start your career in the trade. Keep doing that believe me some will give you an opportunity! You got this..🙏🏽
Thats a great set of tools.....i cannot stress enough....get a head lamp. Thank me later. We work in the dark and you need both hands.
Yes sir, That’s on my Bucket List!👍🏽
Dont nd anything cordless if you were ibew, the contractor supplys all cordless tools drill bits hole saws
Appreciate the info Brother! How long have you been in the Union & How do you like it?
hey im having trouble finding a non union apprenticeship what would you recommend?
@@Trreee Honestly I would call every electrical company in your local area and let them know you want to start your apprenticeship. I would even go up there and meet in person if you could..👍🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman thank you for the advice. keep up the good work
@@Trreee No Problem Brother..👍🏽
Are you in the IBEW ?
@@Muzi876 No sir, I’ve heard great things about it though..
Which local are you in?
@@JimVanderveen I’m Currently non union..
Get a mic for better audio.
I got you Brother working on it!
Hey bro, I’m at 3rd year electrical apprentice in the USA, let’s network and connect. Let’s exchange contact/social media and let’s network and let’s help one another, I want to get to know other upcoming tradesmen around the states.
@@Shawn-fw6uf What’s going on Shawn! Most definitely Brother we can do that, email me & we can exchange info! Keep Grinding..👍🏽
