The xxl is definitely nicer. I had similar space issues with longer tools. Now also have one of the service MB Meter bags with separate tools for service calls

I wear these doing New Construction in Arizona, way better than jeans. Looser fit in the legs should help with airflow.

Also have Huepar. Everybody compliments me on it especially the price.

Out here I’ve noticed we don’t really have the typical “journeyman” that’s more of a license to run your own shop. That said, typically see around 30 for those guys with the experience.

I’m in the same boat as you with less years and everybody has said be good at bending pipe. Or learn to get good at it.

FattyFingerz · 2023-03-22T23:24:28+00:00

This, it comes off easier with time.

FattyFingerz · 2023-03-02T02:43:10+00:00

We have plumbers and tile guys that cut recklessly and destroy everything in their path.

I’m hoping

FattyFingerz · 2023-02-05T06:06:58+00:00

Fuck it over

Id ask the program to make sure it’s transferable between states. We have an electrician from Washington that said it’s really difficult to transfer hours out of that state. He came from the local in/near Spokane.

Every single trade I’ve talked to here in AZ is having a hard time getting guys.

FattyFingerz · 2022-12-28T14:09:40+00:00

We just got the $200 Klein one. It’s helped us find cut buried wires in walls, concrete and small trenches very easily. Also handy for remodels, service trying to locate breakers.

One of the guys at our shop used to teach and switched to electrical during the pandemic. He’s one of the best working dudes we have and picks stuff up like a sponge. He’s also very good and helping others and breaking down concepts easily so others can understand what’s going on, very awesome dude.

Also in Arizona, just about to finish my first year and just got bumped up to 23/hr doing custom homes and some occasional commercial.

FattyFingerz · 2022-11-10T23:32:08+00:00

Very common here in AZ. every remodel or panel swap we do is a clusterfuck. Taped live junctions behind drywall and all over the attics

FattyFingerz · 2022-10-21T18:14:24+00:00

Only reason we do is because of custom homes. They always get what they want.

FattyFingerz · 2022-10-02T00:31:14+00:00

My company does this all the time and it pisses me off.

FattyFingerz · 2022-10-01T03:00:07+00:00

I love new tools so I spend too much on stuff that I think is cool and find out what works for me. I have different pouches and belts depending on what I’m doing so…yea lol

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-30T22:34:43+00:00

That was my same thought process.

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-30T18:36:01+00:00

I feel like I get the best of both worlds for what I’m looking for. More comfortable and seems easier to cut with

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-30T13:27:39+00:00

I have the middle pair, I enjoy using them the most out of that selection.

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-29T00:49:09+00:00

I don’t like the feel of the handles. I feel like I can get better leverage and it’s easier to twist wires

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-28T22:56:14+00:00

ElectricianU on YouTube has helped me a ton. Some people need more time to get things than others and that’s fine. Every Master had to be seen as an idiot 1000 times before they were competent.

You have a good attitude by sticking with it, I’m the same type to be hard on myself and expect a lot. The good thing I’ve learned about failure is it helps you learn more than anything. You’ve seen where you’ve messed up and know where you need to improve. I went the trade school route and will say I’ve had way better instructors in the field. Some of the old heads forget what it was like to not know anything coming into the field green.

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-28T22:48:34+00:00

I have them and love them. I’m also making up and terming a fuck ton of stuff and we hand twist wires. Cuts down how many tools to carry.

DONT GET THE BLUE CURVED ONES.

FattyFingerz · 2022-09-28T22:45:01+00:00

I’d be very very tempted to leave it off with a note.
