Ok, i see. It seems 10 years ago everyone just had loaded down pouches, their drills and maybe a klein bag in their truck. Maybe we weren't as ambitious. Who knows... i like these bags though and i think it is a good idea.

I found this forum a couple of weeks ago and decided to finally join. I figure this is a good thread for a 1st post. I'm an Industrial Electricity student and am also taking some residential/construction wiring classes. I just started building my tool collection and decided to share:
Yes they are shiny and clean and I got insulated as Amazon.com prices on them were pretty much equal to local retail prices of the non insulated versions. And to me I like the feel of the Knipex over Klein or other brands of pliers I have tried. By the way, great forum you guys have here. I hope to learn a lot.

Tools all look brand new, Have they been used, or is this your Sunday pouch?

I put that part in there about being a student to hopefully cover the "tools being new" thing I knew was coming but alas it didn't work. Sunday pouch? Electricians work on Sundays? Bah time to change career paths Just kidding. I'm loving it.

I think you've got a fine start. You're going to want to get a couple pairs of pump pliers also.

I have a pair of channel locks 10 and 12" that were my dads. There pretty old but good enough for now. Although I almost ordered some Knipex cobras. Probably still will in the next few weeks. And some Wera screwdrivers and... guess I better stop now. This tool shopping is becoming an addiction

That's a really nice set to start. I own all those Knipex, the greenlee rock saw, the same tick, and pocket razor knife. All good choices

My last pouch was giving me problems (the bottom of it was giving my leg a rash due to friction because of how the leather came together) so I got rid of it and bought something different. It's a linemans pouch, but on the construction slab it's ironworkers that use it. Fits the 4 main tools I need (pliers, dykes, pvc cutter and red robertson screwdriver.) Knife pouch will carry one of a few tools depending on what I'm doing. Large PVC cutters for pipes 1-1/2" and up, nail puller for removing nails and/or screws on typical floors or wire strippers for temporary lights.

Well, its taken me around 11 months, and with some advice from guys I work with, a ton of information gleaned from this site, and some of my own geek research, I think I've have most of my tools.

With a lot of recommendations from guys on here, I finally settled on the CLC 1539 bag, and it has treated me well, aside from the guys at working making fun of my new 'luggage' ("when do you fly out?" har har).
