For general maintenance/troubleshooting: I have a small husky bag with an impact/malco 6inch reversible 1/4+5/16 bit, multimeter, headlamp, a strip of duct tape for furnace door switches, small channel locks, small adjustable wrench, a reversible Phillips/flat head impact bit, some small alligator clip jumpers, side cutters, needle nose pliers, and some zip ties. I keep a pocket Ir thermometer, stubby screwdriver, and utility knife in my pocket. That’s about 5% of my tools, and does 90% of the work. Anything else I can go back to the truck for.

LOL, I just commented something very similar. I call mine a go bag. It does at least 90% of the work and I don't have to go back. If I do have to go back out, It's usually pretty serious...

@@JnitraM078 I’ve changed my go bag since this comment. I currently use a veto tech mc pack with a multi meter, a Milwaukee m12 impact with Klein’s modular 9 in 1 chuck, two knipex pliers wrenches, knipex cobras, small pvc cutters, Klein 11 in 1, 24/120v jumpers, combined wire strippers/needle nose pliers, side cutters, zip ties, extra thermostat and 16 gauge wire, tape, a unibit, flexible impact extended chuck holder, 90 degree impact chuck holder, and a few other small things. It all fits compact in my small veto bag, can be zipped up for dragging around crawlspaces or through attics without losing stuff, and gets me through 90% of my maintenance and service calls without needing to go back to the van.

Yup I’m only 20 and do commercial food equipment now (hot side) for grocery stores but now they are going to start having us do the refrigeration side as well, I’ve spent thousands on tools I always buy top of the line field piece, and klien everything, now that I’m going to be doing refrigeration what am I going to do? Make a second tool bag just for refrigeration with all new tools this way I have spares, seems less tools are needed on a day to day basis for refrigeration right now I bring a big ass rolling bag into the store for every call but that’s because food equipment requires more tools

I have a night edition MCT veto bag …if I’m going to do a trouble shooting i make sure I have the full system performance by keeping all my field piece probes including static presures.. my tools bag it has everything he has there and plus trouble shooting tools it makes my life easier and saves so much time by not going back to my truck to get anything.

I love the bag. I carry a 'go bag' into the house, attic, basement, whatever to troubleshoot. And most problems, upwards of 90%, I can do from that bag with standard hand tools. If not, then I go get the big bag. I'm not going back and forth all the time. Just once or twice, maybe. There are some customers that freak out when you bring in something like that right off the bat. Just carry the basics the first time in, most of the time you'll finx it.... Otherwise, great video. I agree with everything else!

I don't even carry a tool bag. For trouble shooting, I carry a drill gun, a fluke clamp multimeter, some alligator clip jumpers to jump out the thermostat, a pocket thermometer, a flashlight, and a Leatherman multi tool. That's it. Once I find out what's wrong with the unit, I go to the truck to get my tool bag, which I have a couple, depending on what the job is. Save your back and quit carrying a million tools with you. I got all the same stuff, I just keep it in smaller bags. You don't need to carry every tool you got on every call. At least leave the doubles in your truck. No offense.

That just takes longer. Time is money. If i have just a few doubles of commonly used tools such as 1/4 & 5/16 drivers, needle nose & flat heads it'll make jobs quicker because both me & my helper can be doing something. When i was a helper, the lead tech & i would carry our bags into a call. While one guy works on the condenser, another checks the air handler. Not to mention when the customer has multiple systems.

I completely agree to save your back but the video was intended to show the common tools a tech would use out in the field.
