I have watched a lot of tool reviews and bag setups, and this is by far the best setup I have ever seen. It also mirrors a lot of the same items I've found in my search of the best items or tools for the job. I noticed you don't have a huge following yet, but the quality of your videos and selection of tools makes me believe this has the potential to become a very large channel. You've made the jump from learning how to use the tools; to mastering skills, and now publishing what I think is one of the best 'EDC' a general handy-man or general contractor could ever have. A few years ago I didn't know as much as I wished about tools, and I always wondered what I could do if I had 'that' tool; now I understand a couple tools with the right user can do just about anything. This tool bag is a perfect reflection of that philosophy. While most of the tools are of high quality and not necessarily cheap; if someone took enough time to understand the purpose and maximize every tool in this kit they could accomplish 80% of any repair or 60-70% of any project they ever wanted to do. If I had any advice for anyone watching this video it would be that if you invested in this exact toolset you would be amazed how to matter what you want to work on, how many jobs you could complete in comfort with this kit. Everyone should subscribe and click that bell! Really looking forward to what content you are able to come up with in the future; what an amazing kickoff to a channel!

it's crazy how almost all of these tool bag videos show tools that look like they were just bought that day. I wish my tools looked that nice.

I’ve subscribed for about 3 weeks and I think I’ve watched this video 10 times. As a Milwaukee/Klein/Knipex fan this is the most satisfying video to repeat over and over again. My wife thinks I have a problem lol.

[Bob-I-am]

Those are high quality tools. It looks like you take good care of them. If you want a different topic for a new video, perhaps you could show us the supplies you keep in inventory and take to your jobs. For instance, screw and bolt assortments, electrical crimp terminals, duct/electrical/masking tapes, string, pipe fittings, etc. Thanks for the video.

[blaiserascal]

It's a pleasure to see a review from someone who actually uses these tools, and not just collects them. Thanks for a great video

[darcybeaudoin]

Like watching a magician pulling more and more things out of a bag, crazy. The best bag set up and demo I've seen.

[albertorodriguez]

Different bags for different jobs—now that makes you a thinking man 🥸

Fellow NJ guy here. I don't do residential work, but as a pipefitter doing commercial and industrial, and all the mechanic and handyman stuff I do on the side, it blows my mind you haven't thrown a 6 inch adjustable in there. I personally like what crescent has been doing with their little adjustables, but Milwaukee makes a wide jaw little guy so you could stay on theme.

[mikeclark]

I love the fact that you buy quality but aren’t afraid to sport some cheaper things that you don’t often need. Great to see someone else who keeps their tools clean too. I was torn between the LC or the MCT. This video settled it for me. We have similar jobs and preferences. I waded through a lot of videos until I found yours. Thanks for the help.

[jackhammer]

With all the tool videos I watch I can't believe I'm just now discovering your channel. Excellent content and I really lime how you present yourself. Very genuine and humble. Thank you for this channel

[zunigaalex]

Broo I started cheesing when I seen the first 30 seconds sheesh man got quality and most trades in a tote mad respect !

[gregdejong]

I am a bat biologist spend lots of time in the bush at night with headlamps. I use the petzl actik core, a relatively affordable high quality headlight with dim medium and bright modes. Also has a rechargeable battery :)

[alexbreard]

Hell ya man! I have a super similar layout for my tools.

I would add:

Electrical zipties that have the screw holes(can be used to strap down conduit or bundle wires they are also generally heavier)

Klien wire stripper mini linesman tool(bright blue handle) fills multiple roles in a single tool. Light weight for general work keep full sized tools in electrical specific bag

Impact rated drillbits(small kit)up to 1/2 inch for wall anchors etc.

Automatic center punch to prevent drill bits walking.

Demolition chisel(side strike chisel) for cutting in door locks. Breaking shit.

Battery holder. AAA size holds 6 batteries

Teflon tape... can double as thread locker in a pinch.

Duct tape small roll...because duct tape.

I also keep several options for allen keys and torx look at the wiha allen bits they have great boxes and are reasonable same with torx

Makita makes decent compact socket sets as well

Small klein coltage tester. Cheap and can help diagnose problems.

I cannot recall the last time I commented on a video. However, this one was brilliant. I watched it a few times and took detailed notes and just ordered now everything I didn't have from either amazon or home depot. I have the 15 inch packout so I added a few things like a square, drill bit box, hammer, chisel, crescent wrench, vice grip, and tiny screwdriver set. I have a few packout organisers and I am not sure how to best organize those. Maybe Mr. Braxton can do videos on how to set up organisers for carpentry, and electrical. Thank you.

You've received a lot of comments since you posted this, and I'm not surprised. It shows you've served the handyman community well; they're appreciative.

Everyone's different, so in making these recommendations I don't mean to imply YOU need these, but some others might.

1. You know the power of Knipex well. I'd add a small pliers wrench ... tons of grip and no marring.

2. For cable ties you can survive with what you have, but the Tsunoda KBN-125 cable tie cutter is the best for tightening/cutting them. It leaves no sharp edge. Reasonably priced on Amazon. Knipex quality (or better).

Best toolbag set up I have seen. Very refined, i own all three Packout bags. Currently using the largest. I wish that had more slots and tighter slots.

[ryandelaney]

Dude, the BEST needle nose pliers ever. I love mine.

[tyboogieboy]

I’m an aircraft mechanic that happened upon this video. I don’t know how often you run into stripped out screws but I would recommend getting a set of the grabit speedout pro screw exctactor’s. Well worth the money you spend on them.

[thomasbalentine]

Best headlamp for your kind of work is the Zipka by Petzl, HANDS DOWN. It's going to last wayy longer per battery than the milwaukee and the size/weight is unmatched by any brand period. You could fit 3 of them in a breast pocket if you wanted. I've tried at Least 30 different headlamps and this one beats them all no question about it (for general purpose at least)

[Soknik]

Outside of store shelves I've never seen so many tools in what appear to be brand new or unused condition. I need to start working in a dust free hermetically sealed environment like this guy.
