I highly recommend a solenoid magnet too. It’s a lot better than carrying around 3 9v batteries for that instance you need to actuate a solenoid locally. I’d say that falls along the lines of a “specialty too,” but every technician will encounter a need for it at one point or another
You missed one key tool. The crossword puzzle. I'll elaborate. It brings forth a mental condition where the mind solves puzzles. This is a good primer before troubleshooting during the next job. Mental preparedness.
I really enjoy your videos, I'm in an instrumentation course at my local city college and you teach and explain things better than my teacher honestly. Cant wait for more!
Hi Sean, I'm glad you are enjoying the content. Keep at the education, its a great career field. Are there any topics you would be interested in seeing covered that I can bear in mind for future videos?

Thanks for your video and especially for the linked recommended item models, Chris👍 Well, as for me, while doing any technical repair at home I'm always trying to avoid usage of adjustable spanners as much as possible 'cause they mostly don't give a good grip and can easily get a bolt head rounded or sort of. But they are really widely used on sites, especially when there's no a proper size combination spanner at hand.

Just discovered your videos. I am in the 3rd year of a 3.5 year course, I am doing the course in Germany. Over here it's called "Mechatroniker" but I think it crosses over heavily with your trade. Any thoughts about that? Are Mechatronics well known in your field?
Hi Paul, Although a similar discipline in terms of working principles, its very industry dependant. Mechatronics isn't a recognised field in the oil and gas industry as its mainly aims at production line industries (automotive etc)

I'm just starting my journey into electronic instrumentation Tech. And your videos are helping me out a lot. Thanks, keep them coming 👍🏾

Thank you for all what you do it's great

Definitely do a bench/van/base tool setup.
Thanks
I’m jealous. I work on Elemental Analyzers (CHN, CS, ONH, Thermogravimetric, Calorimetric). I wish my company would buy us these.

Great video Chris, I also use lots of wera, facom and bahco tooling. Do you have any videos on pressure gauge calibration with a dead weight tester?
I'm about to jump in this field..been a pipefitter for 7 years but this looks more intriguing
Its a great and interesting role. Always a challenge to beat
great video Mr
Glad you liked it!
I learned more in your video 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are lit and helpful
Thankyou! Glad you are enjoying the videos :D
Nice!
Thanks!
Great video! Please could you make a video on the calibration of instrumentation?
Hi @Lee F check out my latest video on calibration!
As an instrumentation technician, besides that Fluke, the tools I use the most are plumbing tools.
Depends a lot on where you work. It's interesting to see/hear about other techs experience in the field and what they use.
What kind of instruments do you work on? I work on elemental analyzers.
Awesome vids. No wire strippers?
A good flashlight is essential as well. I use an LED headlamp on my hard hat.
Thats a great point. Always useful especially hands free
Agreed its great to have the hard hat light and also a pen light.
The bootlace ferrule crimper is so expensive but it's worth it
Totally agree. Unfortunately if you want tools to last you have to pay for the privilege most of the time
Just take one from work
Nice
Thanks
Not sure but I'd add a laptop, a bag of connectors/adapters, and a load of jumper wire/croc clips....
Always useful for connecting to Instrumentation / PLCs.
There are other digital multi-meters out there other than fluke that are just as capable.
Very true, it think it comes down to brand confidence too

@@InstrumentationControl interesting! I work in the energy sector (power plant?
, generation), maybe that's why I see more comparisons?
How about a good tool bag?
Snoop?
Good point, always useful for leak finding.
