What's in my (Industrial maintenance) handbag?

Since Julian Illet challenged me to reveal what was in my handbag, I decided to do an impromptu video of the contents of a minimalist bag of tools I use when I'm travelling about. It doesn't have everything for every task, but it covers most spontaneous repairs.
The tools in the bag were specifically chosen for maximum versatility to keep the number and weight down as low as possible. The exception might seem to be the stubby ratchets, deep sockets and adjustable wrenches, but no single type will actually cover all eventualities. The multi-bit drivers bits are actually a medley of bits from various other sets to make up a diverse, but practical set of bits. They're never going to be suitable for high torque applications or narrow access situations. But they save a lot of space. The "normal" screwdrivers are chosen for high torque or deep terminal applications.
The main tools are all high profile brands due to the heavy use they get. Cheap tools will just break, and if you have to stop working as a result then it's a very false economy.
The bag itself was chosen as a direct result of frequently seeing a maintenance man who worked at a local shopping centre (Plasa - East Kilbride) when I was a kid. I regularly saw him walking about in the malls with a bag like this over his shoulder. With his beard, beanie, blue nylon boilersuit (coverall) and the bag of tools, he just looked like I thought maintenance guys should look like. It turns out that his tool bag of choice was a good one.

In the 1960s all skilled workmen in the UK had the same style of bag as you have, almost as obligatory as the donkey jacket. They were a generation that had all served in the armed forces and many, like my father, had done their service in WWII. I remember the smell of my father's as much as what it looked like. He was a fitter and turner at the time so it was a mixture of different oils, grease and Player's Navy Cut cigarettes along with that unique canvas smell. I know the bag itself isn’t what the video was about but I had to say thank you for the memory.

+bigclivedotcom Rather than hunting for the appropriately sized ratchett spanner when working on lights, owing to the apparently random size nuts and bolts you find turning up on lanterns from hire companies, I carry around a quad reversible ratchet spanner. It's made from two pieces of hardened tool steel with 13/17mm socket on one and 19/21mm on the other, that are sandwiched between two pieces of what seem to be laser cut stainless 3mm stock. There's a piece of plastic in the centre which holds ball bearings and springs to activate the ratchet clickers. The part number is CLY36206 - it's sold by various stage/entertainment supply companies, though I got mine from Stage Electrics whilst meeting my account manager. It's a very simple tool, and nicely robust. It also has a hole for you to feed a lanyard through, so you can use it safely at heights. Another feature I like is that the sockets are open, so you don't need to bother with deep sockets and a separate ratchet. It's always part of the abbreviated kit I carry on me, next to a wingnut spanner, screwdrivers and a truss hammer.

interesting note about the headlamps. i built a (measured, 5-6-ish watt) torch using 3 18650s repurposed from a laptop battery, and off the shelf (50w) components from ebay. im planning on adding more batteries in parallel to up the brightness in the future. it is unbelievably bright used inside or at night. seems almost as bright as a car head-light. it has come in very handy for getting in awkward places because, even though its very bulky, i can put it down wherever, and ill be guaranteed to get plenty of ambient light. i would recommend trying out this approach, my light is quite bulky because i built a basic wooden box for the components to go in, but im sure if you repurposed something the right size, you could make it fairly compact.

About voltage testers: I could highly recommend the Benning Duspol Digital. It is a very useful device, you can measure AC and DC, it comes with a LCD that gives you pretty accurate reading of all parameters, it can also check ohms, diodes, has a low-V-program and, of course, you can easily check for continuity with it. You can also check rotating field with it (left / right), which is very useful. It's Cat III 1kV / Cat IV 600V. And you can add load, for checking for what we call "blind voltage" here in germany (wires, that are not live, but read live, due to capacitive coupling). The only BIG disadvantage compared to the Fluke is, that you cannot properly store it in your bag, as you cannot attatch both probes together, and so the protection thingy for the tips ALWAYS comes off. ALWAYS. That's a proper pain in the hoop. But except this, the Benning is really a great tool. I use it almost every day. Sorry for my bad english :D

A "podger" screwdriver? - I kept my dad's miniature podger bar after he died, and it now resides in the tool bag in my car. It's one of the most used and cherished items he left behind. As for the tool bag itself, you'd have made my dad proud, using ex military kit. He used a WW2 "respirator pack" (bag) for his lunch bag. Other ex military bags were used for tools and materials. You have an interesting mix of 'good stuff' (Fluke, BAHCO and the like) and the cheaper stuff. I guess that's where years of experience tell you "For this aspect of a job you need quality" or, "For that part of the job, any tool that gets the job done". As for wing nuts - Isn't that what podger bars are for?! 🤦😱🙈🙉🙊

I put all my tools in a waterproof road case though as I can chuck it in the truck and not worry about it getting damaged. I also found that a impact driver/drill (12V) is very useful. Especially when pulling apart panels with 50 screws in them.

Two other possible topics could be either what phantom voltage actually is, and the "magic" of how a non contact voltage meter works. Those non contact are amazing helpful, especially on very old hose wiring where both wires look black sheathed. How they can tell the line side with no current passing through makes me curious quite often. Again thanks for all the videos, they have been helpful in passing time away while we are trying to figure out why I am fatigued and unable to work. I have picking up on my small electronics knowledge with some led lighting and I have some Bang Good kits coming.

Now I'm not sure what you mean by lights, but I run a tech crew and we run lights for a stage and it actually seems like I should carry around more of my tools. I'm always looking for something becuase I'm never really prepared for the job. I never know if anythings live, or what its voltage may be, or the resistance between the ground and positive on a cable I suspect to have burned out a relay. I've diagnosed alot of circuits for a 17 year old kid, and I find alot of your content super inspiring for my more technical interests. I bought a book about maxwells equations that I intend to make good use of. And I'm saving up for a fluke meter I can count on, my harbor freight ones don't have the nice protection circuits. The other day I used some of what I saw here to diagnose a dimmer box with a broken relay and replace it for my tech director. I saved the school 750$ at least for the repair. Not to mention that it actually had 8 relays which were dual channel progressive relays, and one channel was burned out on two, so I made little extensions I crimped out of 10 gauge wire and a kit. Also, some arduino pigtails to extend the reference voltages. As save them the cost of buying another relay. I'm not even sure they understood what I did. All these tools and I could have actually done the repair in a timely fashion. I could have voltage tested the whole machine and easily diagnosed it but instead I was stuck using a home depot multimeter that can barely make contact to test stuff and never having and flash lights or screw drivers or wrenches for lights on grids. I'm rethinking all of my life desicions. especially becuase I have to omit so many things that I like from my bag becuase schools are too idiot proof these days. Not to mention I never know what current anything is drawing. That would be good to know.

Several things from another electrician! I’m in the US though. 1: Don’t buy Leatherman multitools, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them by far, but! A Gerber multitool is both American made and better by one standard... Its on hand open. The pliers slide out instead of flip around and out. They’re fantastic, especially when you’re low on extra hands. 2: I wish I could pack this light, I do industrial construction and maintenance, my “daily kit” is about four bags worth of stuff, including my regular hand tool bag, my power tool bag, my PPE bag, and another smaller hand tool bag. 3: A hint for guys going into industrial work, it’s perfectly okay to carry lots of shit onto the job, I carry extra PPE on every job I go to. 4: You’ve heard it a million times, and you’ll hear it a million more. BUY QUALITY TOOLS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Seriously guys, idc what you do, if you use tools even weekly, buy good ones.

"Pointy things that you can stab air hostesses with..." I remember when they started bringing these ridiculous enforcements in; I was off on a day trip to Melbourne (from Sydney) to repair a basic installation and didn't even bother taking my standard toolkit - I just bought a generic "50-in-1" screwdriver kit from Jaycar and headed off... Only to be told at the airport that I'd have to put the kit into checked luggage because of the screwdrivers being "potential stabbing weapons." The idiocy of the rules becomes really obvious when you consider that a pen (which can be taken aboard a 'plane) can just as effectively be used for stabbing in the hands of a suitably-deranged lunatic. The plastic cutlery supplied on flights with meals can similarly be used (after snapping to form a sharp edge) to inflict bodily harm. However, I can't imagine how nail clippers (which are *not* allowed to be carried onboard) could possibly inflict damage to a human (unless you threaten to cut their nails too short perhaps?). As a kid, I used to wonder why older people were so cynical... Now that I've "come of age," I realise that it's not cynicism - it's simply realisation of the realities of this thoroughly screwed-up world. OK, who's next on the soapbox? :-P

If you only travel with hand luggage I'm surprised they let you take the stabby meter probes, the wrench of blunt trauma and the screwdrivers of impalement. :)

8:22 I see you use that screwdriver in what seems like almost all of your teardown videos. I've been looking for a good multi-bit precision screwdriver for some time now. From what I've seen in your videos it looks like its magnet does a good job of holding the loose screws, is that actually the case? Looks like my local hardware store carries it for under $4, I'll have to pick one up next time I go in.

I work as machine mechanic and if I may I'd like to propose one tool for you. I've had similar adjustable wrenches in my tools for three different sizes. Two very similar you have and one super wide opening version mainly for bit bigger pipe joints. I've always had pair of Knipex Cobra water pump pliers in my tools but just a little while ago I happened to get Knipex water pump pliers with completely smooth jaws. I've been very surprised how well they replace common adjustable wrenches. I shit you not, but I've actually been thinking about tossing those two smaller wrenches away and leaving super wide opening model for use. I was very hesitant about the jaw profile how it would work, but it's really good. I highly suggest to try ones m

I prefer to use a volt stick over a neon driver. My step dad has been converting an old static home into a workshop and he wanted the double gang light switch moved as for some reason it was above the door. So, I took the switch off and when I had the switch removed I noticed there was four cables and not two. I was like "Crap, what cable is what?" So I thought logically and figured one is feed, one is looping to the next room (or where the next room was lol) and the other two went to the two main sets of lights. After saperating all four cables I put the fuse back in (yes the static is so old it has re-wireable fuses) I used my volt stick to determine the feed cable. As all neutrals were connected together I pulled the fuse out (obviously) then connected the feed live to the other lives one by one to determine which cable went to what light lol. Never have I seen lighting wired in such an obscure way.

+Pete Moss the bigger one size fits some spanner makes a convenient hammer when paired with the flat blade screwdriver/chisel. I also tend to find the expensive allen keys also fail when you use a little too much force on them, though the cheapies either strip the socket or turn into a pretzel. Then I get out the set of cheap Torx hex driver bits and hammer the next size that almost fits into the ruin and get it out that way. Cheap set of bits will do at least 5 holes before you toss it into the scrap bin. For deep set screws braze it to a steel rod first.

One way to make sure your guy friends don't "permanently borrow" your tools is to have tools in feminine colors. It also generally stops them from borrowing them in the first place. :) However, getting feminine-colored tools at your local store is very hard to do...at least in my area. Most of the household tools I have in pastel colors I had to get online. Of course, I guess if you're a guy having feminine-colored tools might give people the wrong impression of you. Oh well...just one woman's opinion.

"Never borrow tools" would be a better dictum. * a rider on the terms of the loan/rental is that if the owner has an emergency need for the tool within the 72-hour period, a new tool can be purchased, and the rental is now the property of the 'borrower'.
