A good tool belt and a bag is where it's at. A proper belt helps you distribute the weight of what you do choose to carry. Only carry what you need right now, or if you're really moving just grab tools as you need from your pouch and let them stay in the belt, if it starts to feel heavy see what you can pull out. 90% of the time I completely empty my tool belt and pouches after each job. A: I do not want tools and material spilling out if the belt gets thrown in the back seat or back of a truck. B: having a giant clutter of fasteners and loose parts in your pouches sucks C: Empty and clean pouches are the most useful, even if I'm doing a small service call I appreciate having a place to tuck new devices, and place cover plates, screws etc instead of placing them ontop of panels, on the floor, on nite stands or bathroom counters, and if we're talking commercial then definitely don't wanna be leaving that stuff just lying around. I'd love one of these mini pouches if I consistenly wore a belt but my favorite work attire for years has been an oversized hi-viz jump suit, nothing to clip something like the pouch in this video onto (pretty baggy so pocket stuffer or clip would be akwardly hanging off the coveralls) so I've come to prefer the nice diamond back belt to saddle up over my coveralls, I also sweat pretty heavily from spring to fall so keeping my tools in the belt stops them from getting rusty like they do if they're in my pockets from my sweat (white salt build up on my shirts daily in the sweating seasons)

Thank you for giving a good top-down view of the pouch! Too often when I'm shopping for pouches on Amazon, or even a manufacturer's website, they don't have a top-down view, the one you're actually going to be seeing when it's on your hip.

Sick layout with the best of the best tools! And all of this stuff is good for anybody in any trade! And for homeowners too!!! Knipex stuff is so good... people don't realize that one Knipex works so well that it eliminates multiple other tools. And honestly, people can talk about the price of this Veto pouch, but it costs that much because it actually is better than the others. I think EVERY tool channel should have a video showing their tool belt. It's easier to spend money on tons of tools and tool storage than it is to cut down to what you actually want to carry around. Keep up the great work!!!

Cobras are a must for an electrician in my mind. I’ve even opened them all the way and used it as a hook to grab a wire 2” up in a 3/4 pipe. That level is sexy af. Last year I found Diablo carbide bits. THE BEST EVER I do gas stations so we have 6’ long troughs with 20 or more pipes from the gas dispensers and tanks. I’ve cut over 20 holes in 4 different gas stations before needing to buy a new one. They even have a 2.5” carbide bit, I don’t use a knockout set to knock holes in metal for a 2” conduit anymore. 20 seconds and I have a hole drilled. I forget who makes it but there is a impact bit that the end swaps from 5/16 to 3/8, pretty nice because you can clean the magnet off

Hi there nice video again. I own a MP1X myself and a useful tip could be that if you’re working on a panel you can mount the pouch to it with a Holstery mag master. Takes the tools of your belt and within hands reach while your working. The pocket flap I only use to hang my pouch of my packout roll box on the packible Joey bracket. Hope this might help someone. Have a great day.
