THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED!.. It is my second day as a install helper so you were spot on from what my Lead Installer said. I am focused on Condenser install while my Lead focuses on the A coil inside. A Tool Belt or belt pouch is abosulutly curcial so your not walking back and forth for additional tools. Understanding the initial set up tools where you needed them saves you time. Talk to your lead installer first. they might have extra tools they dont need and save your 150 bucks.

Good video, I showed up with most of these tools when I got hired. Collected them while I was going to school. I still buy 1 tool per paycheck even though I have pretty much everything I need. I don’t like lending people my tools but I do. I also purchase a tool if I’ve borrowed a specific tool more than twice. Don’t be the guy who works on a crew for 4 months and hasn’t purchased a single tool. That gets old very fast. When you senior tech asks for a tool you should have it on hand or close by.

been a helper for two months and used this list. he was spot on atleast in MAryland. HVAC dudes are pretty brand specific so you'll catch shit for not having milwakee or dewalt or Ryobi but dont let them shit on you, just do good work. The only thing i needed that i didnt see what locking ring wrenches

I would say get Kneepads , ear -plugs ,eye protection ,a good respirator and basic a5 cut gloves inexpensive and at walmart and harbor freight .A fuse puller could save your life and are inexpensive also . I know it's supposed to be for tools, Your body it is the most important tool you have . A good employer would provide these .

tinners hammer. i went a month without one on a commercial job where 1/2 the trunk line was insulated but not built, and using my old irwin curved back was a pain. was happy to drop the $55 on a malco setter.

Very much agree if you're doing commercial trunk systems anywhere, a tinners hammer is a great tool to have. But it's one of those wait and see tools I mentioned. The main reason I didn't include it is because if you're doing residential trunk systems in someplace like Florida, for example, you're going to be working mostly with ductboard, not sheet metal trunks.

Getting into HVAC was really the best choice I have made.. I still don't understand how apprentices or helpers don't see what the need and just have it.

Great video..I would add a few general items: decent head torch, and a small rechargable work light..Not really a tool, but a small notebook and pencil to take measurements and do calculations..Other items would be a selection of screw driver, hex and torx bits along with a couple of extensions for the drill and perhaps a stepped drill bit...Edited to add, there is no mention of any PPE??? Not sure how things work in the State's ie whether the company provides it or the employee is expected to? On many work sites in the UK you simply won't be allowed on if you are not wearing the appropriate PPE, so it is something to consider...

Hey Mike, thanks for making this video man I'm brand new to the HVAC industry and going into installs. As a newcomer what's a good bag to get to put the tools in?
@JerseyMikeHVAC
9 ай бұрын
Avoid backpack style tool bags altogether. Or anything relatively small most service guys would use. A decent sized open top or larger zipper top bag is better for install. On the less expensive side I use Husky bags quite a bit, but I usually have to replace them every year, or every other year at best. I have a large XXL Veto bag that's a beast and it takes a beating like nothing but it's too big. That thing will get 60+ pounds if I let it. Something in the middle is best.

@JerseyMikeHVAC

The Malco reversible 1/4 5/16 hex driver bit for your drill is a good one to have. It's the 2 most common size drill bits in HVAC, easy flip over change from one to the other and best part is it's very easy to clean out the metal shavings that stick to the magnetic shaft that holds the screw straight for you. A 12+ inch " feeler bit", which is just a thin, 12+ inch long drill bit with a tip for concrete (rather than wood). It's called a feeler bit because we often use it to spot the right place to cut bigger holes in sheetrock for registers, through concrete walls for linesets, etc. A cone bit, or step bit is a good one to have too. I often need it to drill holes through the sheet metal on air handlers and furnaces in order to run wiring into the unit. Be sure to get one that can drill holes up to 1 inch in diameter. It's code to place a rubber or plastic grommet into the hole so wires don't rub on bare sheet metal edges. Those are usually 3/4 inch wide. What you'll need beyond that will depend on the type of installs the company does, types of equipment, etc.

At the time I was using a Veto XXL. But any type of open top mid size bag will do. Just don't get a small bag or a backpack if you're going to be doing install.

The two gages you were talking about near the end of the video; was wondering if you could throw me a link to buy them. Not really sure what I'm looking at when I try typing stuff in to Amazon and would hate to buy something not even remotely what you are talking about

I placed some affiliate links in the video description to give you an idea, but those are the tools I would recommend not going cheap on. Those particular brands I use daily and they hold up very well. Everything else not listed in those links you can go cheap to start off. Hammers, screw drivers, etc.
