Good video , as a service tech I would add a PVC cutter and galo gun. Also setup multiple bags / tool boxes , like sheetmetal , 3/4 PVC bag and torch box for soldering/brazing
Dont spend loads on basic handtools or find old ones at goodwill and unrust em even will work great but more intricate stuff like drills you're better off getting a decent and new from the jump. Plus technology is getting cheaper and cheaper so it wouldn't set you back more than 2-3 days work (ps sorry for anyone living in big cities with massive rent). Also sticking to the same battery tool brand is good, less time fucking around charging different batteries and buying em. Also if youre an apprentice dont put massive pressure on yourself to get everything fast you usually wont be doing much more than being an assistant and cleaner for the first month and just start out by getting stuff you use the most. Ie if you're doing hi wall installs most of the time you probably won't need a pipe wrench straight up, definitely tool belt tools like screw drivers, side cutters and pliers is an easy start but again depends on your sector :). ALSO GET A POCKET THERMOMETER to measure grill air on/off most useful shit ever especially with high ceilings. Anyway im sure this is going to go into the internet hole and never get read again lol its like im writing a letter to me 3 years ago kmn
Lol at the tin tools, I carry one set of red off set snips, that's it, . One tool that you are missing and is a must for a service tech, is a motor puller. Saves you a lot of frustration
Sure, this is just basic, basic tools. There is a whole truck full of other tools needed such as the fan puller, refrigerant gauges, vacuum pump etc. Many, many tools are needed! Thanks for the Comment!
Hey these videos are really great! I start school Aug 21 and I am super excited to start learning more. I am 30 been tending bar for past 8 years and looking to start a real career. Any advice would greatly be appreciated or links or anything. Thanks! Have a great day !

Tristan C Hi Tristan! This is Blaze from San Diego. I've been in the trade for almost 25 years and will be retiring in another 2. It is awesome after a days work to see the people who you helped out. You're not going to be a Rockefeller. But you will be able to take care of your loved ones very well after you get some experience under your belt. Plus it will always be challenging and interesting. God bless you on your path.
Thank you so much I truly appreciate the insight! I am looking forward to getting my hands dirty and learn something I find rewarding and challenging to help make people more comfortable. ANY advice I would greatly appreciate ! I start school and my new career this Monday. CHEERS
Also the school I am attending wants me to take a communications course and extra math course .... I was curious how important those are? I will have taken all the courses to get certified and get an HVAC certificate with the two extra classes ( which are expensive) It would mean I have a Technical Certificate. I am assuming I will learn a ton more in the field after school is finished. Thanks!
They have to be purchased piece by piece. I have the tools linked in the description of the video but a have many linked with their pics at amazon.com/shop/acservicetech thanks
Great Question! If you do alot of sheet metal work than yes and alot more tools as well. It is going to be hard to nail down every tool for every application in just a starter set meant for a beginner when our field is so wide while still keeping the cost down. With this video I am targeting existing buildings, changeouts and service. If someone feels that a sheet metal hammer is required they would add it to the list. A boss would specify what kind of tools are needed but for a beginner, aregular hammer should suit them if they are doing installations on existing buildings, changeouts and service and just hammering over some pittsburgs. I do understand the importance of having a flat head on the front of the hammer to keep the seem tight and I appreciate your comment. If you were just working new construction installs or in the sheet metal shop then you would target your tool list toward that. Thanks for your Comment!
Fieldpiece is a good brand. My last uei meter lasted for 12 years before the temp sensing ability with even new probes was starting to get a little off. Everything else was fine and still is accurate. I switched to the DL389 7 years ago and I have another twelve for my students that don't let me down. Thanks Matthew!
Sure, this is just basic, basic tools. There is a whole truck full of other tools needed such as the fan puller, refrigerant gauges, vacuum pump etc. Many, many tools are needed! Thanks for the Comment!
When you find a lithium ion set with a flashlight and 1 hour charger for $130 with a drill that won't drop a bit and lasts for 6 years of full time constant daily use, crawlspaces, attics, and general, yeah that made me a believer.It lasted longer than that with another few years of non daily use. In fact, I was able to wait until a sale at lowes to get my students one kit each for $109.00 Dewalt and Milwaukee are absolutely great but for the price I can't see going wrong with the Hitachi. Thanks and I probably would have said the same thing if I didn't happen to have one of these in my hand!

Where can I find a "pin liner?" What does it look like?
Awesome video. Thanks so much.
Hey Neil, are you talking about a weld pin or grip pin fastener for acoustical liner?
No. it's a long tool that you put in the hole to line it up.
Thank you very much for your reply.
A lot of guys use a long scratch awl and a C clamp or a length of square axle key and a C clamp, thanks
This tool is made especialy for duct work.
Thanks again.
How to repair ch38 in ac Lg brand?

No sheet metal hammer?

Thanks
Thanks Keith!
It looks like we all went to the same school after all hahaha
Thanks
this is lit
Thanks Joe!
What's your opinion on the fieldpiece meters I notice you use another brand which I've seen a lot of techs using
Fieldpiece is a good brand. My last uei meter lasted for 12 years before the temp sensing ability with even new probes was starting to get a little off. Everything else was fine and still is accurate. I switched to the DL389 7 years ago and I have another twelve for my students that don't let me down. Thanks Matthew!
You forgot, the Bucket of steam
Ha ha or the tin stretcher!
Go. To. Hollywood. To do like actor 😝👏👏👏
Ha ha not with this face! Do you have a face transplant guy?
fan puller
Sure, this is just basic, basic tools. There is a whole truck full of other tools needed such as the fan puller, refrigerant gauges, vacuum pump etc. Many, many tools are needed! Thanks for the Comment!
You forgot.......Cooler, Ice, Beer (six pack minimum, preferably tall boys).
RIP headphone users
You use hitachi? lol
