Tools Required to be an effective HVAC Technician

Dude needs to make an HVAC company called "Clutch" then manufacture his own tool line.

Your tool setup and bag are "CLUTCH" :)

God bless you for sharing this knowledge

Manifold?

We'res the headlamp

That isn't a drill, it is an impact driver! Drills are different to impact drivers!

the klein 11 in 1 is not considered an insulated tool for electrical work.

Gauges? Lighting? Knee pad?

Thanks for the video. Starting as an apprentice next week.

This video came in clutch

Not sure what kind of HVAC this guy is doing. Looks like mostly service. From what I saw in the video there is a shit ton of stuff this guy has you don't need missing a bunch you do. No impact driver? No hole cutter? Sawzall? Hole hawg???? Pilot bits, long extension I mean he has all the drivers in the world. Idk let me know if he showed something I said he doesn't have. I just know there's no impact bu the end of the video. How do you get by without an impact. I shoot over 8000 screws a month threw 26/30 gauge steel.

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.

Use a bent zip tie for servicing, and holding the safety switch down, it’s also already in your bag and not taking a spot

Can you please compost a list of what you just talked about? I appreciate it!

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.

Any advice on maintaining tools? I find after a humid crawlspace my tools rust. Especially my snips lol

Something else to note, this may look different depending on area of the country you’re in and the company you work for. I live in Beaufort SC, and work on almost all heatpumps, and occasionally a gas furnace. Also do 90% service work. Hardly any install. I use the TP4B and it holds everything I need it to

take a shot every time he says "comes in clutch"

Side cutter pliers are missing

Usually commerical is 3/8 you definitely need it
