Like the list & shirt suggestions. I’m a 15 yr long inspector, have & use almost every tool mentioned. Just a few more that I use that might be a consideration for inspectors in the Mid-west area. Knee pads, gloves, & a couple Tyvek overalls for those crawl space areas. Also a decent hard hat, boots, & neon safety vest for those new builds if you ever inspect them. Just a word of mention on a ladder. There’s of course times when a 20’ ladder is needed. A drone can verify items of concern if you have one, (which I do), but you need the time and be proficient in using it. Time is money. Anyway, I found that a good telescopic ladder 12-15’ is a time & space saver. It goes everywhere with me on every job. Has never let me down and is one of my absolute must have tools. Right up there with a circuit tester, screwdriver, & flashlight! It’s honestly a must have! If mine broke? I’d buy another one tomorrow. It’s that important to me. Thanks for the other tips. Keep up the great inspection work.

Love the content! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Great video! Future home inspector, here! So it was nice to see other tools and brands that I’ve been wanting to look into.

Thank you for these extremely helpful videos. 👍👍

Hey Chris, I personal use the Fenix PD36R. It has a tactical switch on the tail alleviating the issue of the flashlight turning on in your pocket.

Awesome! Lots of great information as always. Definitely LIKE and have already SUBSCRIBED ! Thank you for all of your videos. Please keep up the good work.

Great stuff thanks man

Bold attempt. Missing a few possible tools, depending on your area. I see a lot of tile roofs, so a drone is a must. I know how to walk tile and concrete, the problem is, the cracked tiles I find wind up being "your fault!" so, no, I do not walk tile/concrete roofs. When my drone is "excluded" from some extremely dangerous airspace, like within 100 feet of the roof, I use a tall painters pole with a wifi enabled camera. When the FAA figures out that ANY airship less than 100f altitude has much bigger problems (like a crash, maybe? hmmm?) I'll get licensed. Merrell shoes have a plain brown walking shoe with a very flat sole, think NOT tracking a bunch of mud into the house. Interestingly, the sole is very sticky, so I have trusted it on roofs (6/12 and below) for years. I'm still here and still working.

Great Video Chris

Where I come from, that “plumbers wrench” is called “Channel locks”

i may swap out the long neck lighter with a plasma lighter. they last longer and can be recharged. i believe you can also put logos on them. with all those batteries a storeacell caddy would be helpful. you might like to try a 230 degree headlamp. many brands make them. they're often rechargeable and come in multipacks. they're are some razor knifes that let you carry a few extra blades in the handle (Milwaukee fast back is one of them). saves a truck trip.

Could you out a list of all the tools you have like name brands and all??

You failed to mention a very important tool or gear. Eyewear and footwear. A good pair of shades to help us see in our Texas sun and a great pair of shoes for roof climbing.

Thank you for video. If we believe that vehicle is a tool also, what vehicle do you recommend for a beginner?

I carry a master key too :)

Great Info! The tool list link doesnt seem to work

Great video. What pants are those? I really want to buy a few

Operating plumbing fixtures is always a canna worms waiting to be opened just like operating windows especially PVC ones that are old they crumble when you try to open them I’m thinking noting plumbing was not tested due to severely deteriorated condition referred to a plumbing professional to cya

I dig that style of shirt. Which model is it. I need to get some more done with my logo and that one is really professional looking.

Oven thermometer?

Use the blind man walking stick to reach smoke alarms!!

I'm watching this again and wondering about the bolt cutters and having to open up a "tool box" ? what tool box do you mean? I want to be prepared 😃

New would-be inspector question...If I've already picked up a FLIR C5 thermal imaging camera, do I still need and IR spot thermometer? If so, what for exactly?

As a new home inspector - just how much (approx) will all of these tools cost? I want to have EVERYTHING when I start out.

Im just getting into the biz. Whats everyones thoughts on report writing software??

Did not see a shower pan tester in your list?

Do you carry any backup tools in case it breaks?

quick question, I have a regular sedan would it be necessary for me to switch up to a truck once I start doing inspections and do some companies provide a vehicle ?

I want to become a home inspector also and i live in Houston as well...where would you suggest i get the training from? Can you refer me to a good training program?

Where’d you get your shirt? Good looking.

Hey Chris, I am torn between the Flir One Pro for My IPhone 12 ($345)...or I can get the Flir C3 x with WiFi for $499....the C5 is over $600 which is a little too much for me ...which would you go with?

How did you get training??

Who do you use to customize your shirts?

What is the software you using I’m interesting and how much was it

What brand or type of shoes do you reccomed for the roof climbing?

You mention "your guys". Are they all home inspectors or just helpers? If they're inspectors, what's the benefit of working for a company as opposed to doing their own thing? Thanks!

Where is your drone? I use the Mavic Mini. Thanks Pro Home Inspection Services Decatur, AL.

No drone?!!

why is there no crack monitor? forgot?

Christ all mighty , plumbers wrench really there channel locks homie 🤣
