Why Pros Carry Fewer Tools

Thanks to FLuke for sponsoring this video! Be sure to use code "Carl12" at checkout for 12% off! Every apprentice electrician makes the same tool bag mistake: carrying way too much stuff. In this video, I break down the difference between a rookie electrician tool bag and a more dialed-in journeyman electrician setup. I’ll show what I used to carry, what I think new apprentices actually need, which tools are worth buying early, and which tools can wait until later. This isn’t about having the most expensive setup. It’s about building a practical electrician tool kit that helps you work cleaner, faster, and smarter without dragging around half the garage. Thanks to Fluke for sponsoring this video and helping me put together an apprentice electrician tool kit to give away.
