Missing some really important stuff. Magnet to retrieve dropped screws. Mirror on extendable handle. Magnetic parts tray!!! Small locking junk box with wire connectors,
screws, 3 amp fuses, etc. Flexible and or 90 degree drill bit extension. Several Klein multi tools. 8 in 1 hvac is a great for AC. Ratcheting screwdriver is a MUST with extra
bits in handle. Set of high quality 14 gauge jumpers and magnet to hold door switch closed. Pick up the bit to remove the refrigerant locks. You'll look stupid waiting for
someone to come unlock it for you so you can put gauges on it. Never count on your employer or fellow employees to have your bits. Buy the packs and have them ready.
Klein tool tip magnetizer is nice, too. ALWAYS buy nut drivers with magnets inside them. They are worthless without the magnets. Last but not least, emery paper to clean
flame sensors...stored in your junk box along with batteries. I have the battery storage containers that hold one 9volt, 4 AA and 4AAA batteries. Just enough to keep me
going one day. Costco is where you buy batteries in bulk.

Best "tools you will need to start" I have seen to date. I caught Harbor Freight Pittsburg tools, Walmart Hyper Tough and Hart tools, and a Dollar Tree tape measure. First video I have ever seen with these on display; this is some real world practical stuff. No need to start out with a $100 Knipex plier or $50 Wiha screwdriver or whatever.
(I read in the comments you had your tools stolen, sorry about that. BUT I stand by that this video was a great way to show the beginner you can break in cheap.)

The Klein 7 in one is a must thats the one with 3 impact flip bits on a 1/4 inch. You can use it with the handle as hand tool or pull the shaft out and use in most drills and impact drivers. Although, especially with a drill ihe combo can be too long to fit in tight locations like between a condenser and the house.

Fieldpiece and Klein Tools all day. That 8 in 1 is a must. The stubby version is good to have as well.

My man! I'm a fieldpiece guy as well

[pabloalcala]

Hey bud, thanks a lot for sharing this useful video. I'm gonna start my HVAC school this coming fall.

[SamuelEnjoys]

A basic $15 thermostat from the bbq department at Home Depot works too.

Good advice for the newbies ... Thx for posting ...

[kobie]

Thanks for the video. I have a ideal meter but im going to be upgrading to fieldpiece soon.

[erics]

You'll need the 2-sided hex adapter for the service wrench.

[sknight]

Cool man, how are you liking the new sc480 meter?
Grab you a Dewalt 90° angle tool #DWARA60 (Home Depot) or #DWARA120 (Lowe's) for those tight places. It's a life saver. 😎👍

[hvacroddy]

I’ve lost over 4 of those uei Thermometer 😂

[coolbeans]

Very nice video, but I found it kind of funny that you carry all of those cheap knock off tools in that fancy expensive Veto bag lol. Go get some Klein, Knipex, Wiha, Malco, ect to put in there lol

Damn I should be good cuz I got all this and way more.

disagree with the comment on the analog gages, I say ditch them go digital all the way, , a lot better to diagnose with subcool and superheat on the app, multiple refrigerants, , i can go on and on, , just purchased a set of fieldpiece job links, I've used SMAN and Uniweld smart tech gauges, , they were great, so quit using analog, go digital else you're that guy that still carries a pager around and a brick phone, then yes stay analog.

[manuelrodriguez]

Yea thanks that's all basic tools
