Hello,
You mentioned that you used to use a Bucket Boss. I was just wondering if you used the bucket boss that fits over a 5 gallon bucket, or if you used one of the bucket boss tool bags?
I like to keep a shark bite 1/2" cap in every single bag I use regardless of what the bags for. I call it my contingency plan lol
I sat on and ancient tube of graphite I had in my back pocket… Plastic disintegrated, what a mess lol
You need Midwest aviation snips. Best ones.
Where are the bandaids or superglue (dermabond)?
The tools are cool the amazing part is that they fit in that great packout bag.
Really good, Patrick. Love this look at your mobile tool setup. Would like to see the same video but of your workshop.
Love the podcast!
pretty good. I have a similar setup plus or minus. Some extra things I carry that come in handy: A set of allen wrenches, couple of markers, plumbers tape, old paintbrush, small extension magnet, small mirror, and a toothbrush
I have all those same tools in different places around my shed except that adorable combination square and the staple remover. I probably can’t afford that square, but that staple remover seems doable. I need to get me one of those right away. Last week I yanked a lot of the insulation out from under my bathroom to get at look at the termite tunnels. I might as well pull out the staples while I think about what to do about the situation under there. I thought about you when those termites were raining down on my hat. You would not have liked it.
You could also eliminate the shingle cutter by carrying a hook blade as a spare in your regular utility knife.
what the heck does that bag weigh when full?!
Nice video – lots of overlap with mine. I add hex wrench set, sanding bock, small pry bar, glue,
wow amazing…I have all these tools but in 3 different bags…
The auto wire strippers (Irwin) are so much better than those crappy notched ones.
Good video. One thing I would add is a contactless voltage tester.
Amazing how much overlap between your tools and the ones I've used for years. I have virtually the same things in a similar bag. A pencil compass and a couple very small prybars and screwdrivers are the only things "missing". I don't have the flexible tape measure or a self-retracting chalk line though!
Thanks for the video
