After working with my father in blue collar jobs (I'm still working with him while I study accounting and create some stuff on my own), I noticed a few days ago how important tools are. I'm becoming a traditional man, so I'm starting to hoard tools for the moment I move out from my parents'. I ordered some basic tools, when the year finishes I hope to have everything needed for smaller jobs, besides the power tools! Knipex, Wera, Milwaukee, Estwing (for now). I added a couple of the tools to my bag, I was looking for a small mallet that didn't mark surfaces, also that pencil! Thanks a lot for your your videos, keep it up!!
The knipex pliers wrench is a great tool, I use them all the time, especially for holding a nut and zipping the bolt out with my impact. No more going to and from the toolbox for the correct size wrench.
I made Franken set ( an imperial set, with a small zippered attached . Carries metric sockets, and posidrive , and some oddments ) doubles the capability , minimal bulk increase !
I like that bag... would make a nice sub-carry bag for my most used electrical tools... inside the main bag for easy pull and go. I just picked up the Knipex TwinGrip Slip Joint Pliers myself. They are great. One tool I can't live without and you might want to add... Knipex Raptor Pliers.
That’s awesome, it seems quite a few over there import tools from here at a premium just like we do yours, Klein etc. 😅 Thanks a lot for checking it out!
After watching your vids, I decided to get a Knipex pliers (13 86 200 electrical installation pliers) during our vacation in Germany. I now understand your love for the brand. They're solid, well though out and well executed. Keep up the good work! 👍
Nice back layout! Agree with the choices. Maybe i could add a suggestion. I find a pick always has a place and a time to use. The pb swiss picks are nice and smell like vanilla
Yes I sure am, I do my best to work out of the new shop and by using my decked system as much as possible though. I really like being compact for running around
Nice that quiver, i wonder have you evwr tried the veto bags, they are really good, expensive though, maybe you could get one to start and see how you get on 😜
@@MillisConstruction Yep , and the Turbo mode is great for 3” NF screws . I’m pretty tempted by the little Wera bag , looks handy , and the totally adjustable divider is very clever . The only snag , I’ll have to order out of the States , and KC and Chads Tool are a very serious source of temptation ! My core tool deployment is still a compact belt holster ( of which I have several , depending on tasking ) . I tend to get a lot of dirty jobs in confined spaces , so the very small tight format is quite useful , that little Wera Tote , would be very useful for parts , and consumables ; for short “ Away Missions “ .
@@chrisfyfe9212 I usually stick little stuff like that in my cart and then wait for a good tool of the day to add to it to get to the free shipping level personally. Works pretty good and forces you to think for a couple days lol
Could you tell me if those Fiskar Titanium scissors are the 9" Serrated Offset Handle grip version ? Or are they the 8" Titanium Offset handle grip ? Thank You. 😎🙏👍
Love the vids, great review’s. I was a Klein guy at first, but I can’t get over the quality of Wera and Knipex.. can you review atlas 46 bags. American made and some of the best quality bags I have for work. The Yorktown and the Benjamin electricians bag are my absolute favorite!! You will love them
I’m really debating trying an atlas tool vest, I’ve been on the fence on trying one for several years, I didn’t realize they made stand-alone bags though?
@@MillisConstruction I’ve now used about 4 of their bags, they come in all shapes and sizes for the ideal job. They are made to order, so they could take a bit of time to arrive, but worth the wait and money. You will love whatever product you get from them, and the tool vest is an amazing product. They have a website and app to make it easy to order. best!
I’m searching for a good Velcro setup for little items like that actually, the sets from Wera are really nice, I wish there was one I could use for pica pencils and things on the side of the big bag. Would be super handy
Good general set of tools packed away in there. That kind of approach never works for me, I always seem to have something missing when I carry around a small set of tools like that.
I know, that’s how I ended up carrying a massive veto 🤣 I really didn’t want to do that on these hotel calls so I went as light as possible, I was debating using my MB3 but this was just a lot more accessible than that bag, I kind of like seeing all the tools at a glance more like the TP xxl or the Tech Mct Thanks for checking it out! It’s definitely different
The one factor that makes you system Viable , is the Rubbermaid type cart , out in the Hallway . I know the feeling , at one time I did a lot of institutional access control , and fire systems , the cart is a Butt saver .
The twin grips don’t have a wire cutter on them. They’re just pliers with a front and side gripping feature. I usually use the side cutters or the CoBolt for cutting tie wire personally.
I have a few Wiha tools, they’re great as well. I wouldn’t put them above Knipex though. Lately the trouble with Wiha is they’re trying to make some of their products in other countries too so be sure to look at the information or packaging on specific tools from them as some aren’t made in Germany anymore unfortunately
Whia is nowhere as well made/ engineered as Knipex , I’d rate them more comparable to Klein ( sometimes a bit hit or miss ) . That said , I like their multibit,VDE slimline screwdrivers .
The made in Germany Wiha screwdrivers are very good. Their pliers are made in Vietnam and of pretty good quality, although some of their models are not engineered too well. Their bits are mediocre. Apart from their very good (and usually more expensive then Wera) screwdrivers the are a little bit of a cheaper option here in Germany compared to the top brands in each sector. Knipex screwdivers are not really worth their price btw, they are made by Oplast, a Slovenian OEM. Not terrible quality, but not too good either, rather soft steel. You can get Oplast made drivers cheaper from other brands like Hazet and Gedore (at least over here) or just buy better ones like Wera, Wiha (both cheaper than Knipex) or PB Swiss (more expensive but maybe even better, their bit handles are unmatched).
I do very little electrical anything on the hotel, the electrical tools are all in the TP-XXL in the truck if I need them though. This is just my bag I’ve put together that handles probably 90% of the service calls there

I really like toolbag loadouts. I'm always curious to see what tools others use and if they maybe use stuff I don't have but that I could use too 😅
You and me both! I watch so many it’s ridiculous 😅 always costs me money too!
Hi from South African vloggers 🇿🇦 😀 ❤️ 🌍
.
I think you finally convinced me to get my first set of knipex pliers. Great video
Woohoo!!! Welcome to the club 😎💪🏻
The knipex scissors are re branded. They are originally Fumasi look them up
Glad I’m not the only one that has run into the sleeve issue with the hex keys, fortunately have some some T handles as a fall back.
Nice little tidy small load out.
A good review with different ideas
Just ordered my first veto tp xxl bc of your video. Can’t wait for it to get here and get it set up.
That’s an awesome bag!
@@MillisConstruction yea I can’t wait to load it out and start using it. Thanks for the videos!

Loving the look of the knipex pliers. I'm a big fan of Veto. I've been looking at velocity bags for my next buy. Great review 👏
Just ordered the knipex electrician shears. Thanks for all your info. 👍
I think I enjoy talking about tools as much as I enjoy using them…. Almost 😁 hope you enjoy them!
Nice bag & tools as always 👍
Thanks a lot! Do you have a channel as well? I see your name may look like it 😊
@@MillisConstruction Sure do, check it out. Stay safe out there. 🛠️

I actually picked up a pair of those a couple months ago, super unique. Still working them into the workflow though
Great kit!! Love the wera turbo driver myself!
Sehr gute Vorstellung und sehr gute Werkzeuge (German).
Nice Promotion and very good tools.
Here in Germany I just buy Knipex and Wera-tools.

Nice back layout! Agree with the choices. Maybe i could add a suggestion. I find a pick always has a place and a time to use. The pb swiss picks are nice and smell like vanilla
That’s a great idea! I have another massive order of pb coming but they’re all waiting on shipments to come in unfortunately lol
I finally bought Klein yellow handled scissors. Although I’m a Klein fanboy , I don’t like em. Thise knipex look comfy
The twingrips are great , I lucked onto a pair of dipped handle type . Pretty rare up here in Canuckastan !
I really ended up liking them a lot too, it’s super handy to grab a bolt just straight on from the front
Canuckstan... classic. Really fits the bill when it comes to what's available to the poor consumer.

Great video as always. Are you still using the workshop trailer haven’t seen it in a long time

Man you know I really should, do I know anyone that makes videos about em so I could get some pointers? 😜
Good idea ! I’m starting to use my Wera Turbo a lot more , it has really nice handle ergo’s .
It’s just slightly larger but fits the hand really nicely doesn’t it!

Will the Knipex twin grip pliers cut tie wire?
The twin grips don’t have a wire cutter on them. They’re just pliers with a front and side gripping feature. I usually use the side cutters or the CoBolt for cutting tie wire personally.
they are so much better than sharpies
“Little 7in pair that’s in my pants” lol. Brag much 😂
Got to slide in some humor 😜
Do you like wiha tools? Are they better than knipex?
