My channel is a collection of videos about the tools, technology, and techniques we use for work and fun. I hope to make these helpful to viewers who have never seen some of this technology, or want to try their hand at some of the projects involved in audio/video, networking, home automation, cctv, etc. I also have a lot of fun learning and trying out new tech, especially from the open source community such as Linux.
Tool bag tour
Low voltage & A/V contractor's tool bag tour. What tools we carry in our primary tool bag and why. When you work with so many different systems, like network and phones, catv, satellite, cctv, security, audio, video, home automation, etc, these are some of the tools used routinely.

"You gotta keep your tip clean".
I love Fluke but unfortunately my wife says no.
You need to get those knipex twin grip pliers for those stripped screws
Cool bag man! Lots of pockets and space!
Came across a Mac Pro - BTO.CTO - Mac Pro2,1 A1186 - 2138 with two 3GHz Quad Core Xeon X5365 (Clovertown) processors. It has 5 gigs of ram and 4 hard drives, a 250 and three 500s. Very little modern software Mac software will run on this machine without major and expensive mods. Been trying to install several different versions of Linux onto it without success. Most installers are not recognized and the ones that are recognized, start but all stop at some point without giving any error codes. Etcher will not run on Snow Leopard and hard crashes on El Capitan - system just turns off about 3.4 of the way thru an etch. I got it for the price of going to get it, a drive of about 200 miles. Studied and followed many methods for installing Linux on Macs but none work so far on this machine. Any ideas? Thanks.
Good organization of your tools
I currently have my 1,2 flashed to 2,1 and I’m about to install el cap on it on a 500gb hdd I have 2 partitions atm one for el cap and the other I’ll be installing either Linux or windows 10 on. I only have the Mac and a laptop to work with an just one hard drive, how would I go about this to get Linux installed the same way you did
Hey bro let me know how its working out for you, i might be able to help you run windows 11 with all the updates what so ever. I have a true 2,1 from ‘07 or ‘08 running El Capitan off HDD and windows 11 off SSD No bootcamp configured just pure installed, and i am able to switch whenever between OS’s
Where do you find the black glue sticks??? Thanks
Black glue sticks are a must. Instead of a glue gun I carry a small butane torch (about the size of a lighter). I heat the glue stick and apply it to the emitter much like chapstick.
hello there ,amazing video,i have a mac pro 2,1 too but i dont know what socket use if lga 771 or lga 775,can you help me...greetings
What’s name of bulk head separator ? Want to price it out.
That is a Knapheid partition. If I remember correctly, it was very costly; around $1000 installed. The factory option was less, but not available at the time.
Very very very nice
Hi, I’m also in the industry and we have found over the years PVC clamps for electrical conduit work the best and are cheap compared to other options. No wire snags or cuts with this method given you install them according to angles and tension.
How does one get into an industry like this? I'm brand new into the residential alarm system world and learning about low voltage. it didnt take to long for me to stock up on some new fancy tools, I've slowed down now but there's still plenty I wanna get for myself. now I'd like to know where the "big bucks" are? for my part, I make an okay living, but I dont have that many hours, 30-35 hours weekly, so I guess i'd love something where I can work 40-50 hours? Thanks!
Hi good
13:30 Where the real van tour starts. Skip forward if you want to cut to the chase.
what kind of deal do you work out with the customers, plugging into there electric, sometimes they get bent out of shape about that
I’ve never had someone complain about that.
I'm running Linux Mint on my 2008 Mac Pro. Works great!
How did you purchase one of these? I'm assuming you're in the USA, if not my apologies! I can't figure out how to get one :(! It's a really nice bag, I've done apartment maintenance for 13 yrs and have been on the lookout for the perfect bag and yet to find it. I own three vetos even an occindental tool belt set up. Looking at the Roque I think this might be the one!
Black glue for the glue gun, paper clips for reset buttons... your bag literally has all the solutions my bag is becoming too small and I am looking to upgrade but anyways great vid and excellent tools
Amazing you got to put Linux mint on it! I found my macpro1,1... local church threw it away near a dumpster so I snatched it. Spent about $85 on new ram and new 3ghz processors and flashed it to 2,1. It’s a fun machine, running lion and El Capitan.
Same story found two mac pros ready to be thrown out. Can’t wait to get started
The M12 2402-22 is your answer to a compact drill/driver with a hex chuck. The only time I brought out the impact or hammer drill was for masonry, large hole drilling, driving/removing lags or stubborn screws. I found the hex drill/driver to be perfect for low/med torque screwing and drilling... still my go-to 90% of the time, although I'm no longer in the tech install business.
Do you use a fork lift to carry your tool bag around lol
A/V = ass violators
bellissimo
Great video and set up. Thank you.
Rockwell makes a combination impact and drill 12 Volt
You don’t keep wire in van?? I was hoping to see wire management in the van I have cat6 security wire coax etc and neeed ideas how to store them.
bellissima borsa
Grazie!
@13:33 is when he opens the cargo door. A word to the wise: people's attention spans are short. A video like this should be chopped up into smaller videos by content 15 mins or less. A video on your bag. A video on van cargo organization. A video on cab organization, etc. 20 seconds max about why you're making the vid.
Thanks! I guess you can you tell I'm no real content creator?
@@digitaldna2938 It wasn't a bad video, though! There was lots of good content about your experience and how you set things up. It's just most people won't stick around for a video that long. You'll get more views making it shorter.
Who is ‘Scott’?
He's a co-worker; his channel is "Scott's Tool Thoughts"
Do you like to hear yourself talk?
No, I actually can't stand to hear my own voice. :-)
My god, get to the point!
Nice setup. I have a 2017 Promaster 159" ordered/purchased new. Also do A/V too. I Bought cabinets from American Van. I have permanent space for boxes of Cat6, RG6, Speaker wire etc, 8'/6' ladders inside. Love being able to lay a rack down or carry a huge amount of boxes of wire for a large prewire. Also have dedicated sections for Crestron devices, Sonos, and lots of other devices we use all the time. Also have spots for my Brady label maker, fasteners, Milwaukee power tools, wall plates and inserts/bullnoses, patch cables, HDMI cables and other stuff. Have had a few problems with the van though unfortunately. At 71k miles, had to replace cylinder head#2, radiator, battery and a couple of other things.
Cool vid. Thanks!
How much it's cost? Sir
I got this bag from a UK company. It was just under $200.00. @t
We would like to send you some of our products for review. Please email me at kbrooks@vetopropac.com .. Thank you!
18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Quick-Shift Mode 4-Speed Impact Driver by Makita
I enjoyed that, thanks. I'll be getting one in a month or two. Have to go on my Christmas list.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Veto will eventually bring out a bag to take on the Rogue 6.0
what is the make and model of the bag? Do you have to sell on Ebay?
Right on brother... Just bought a 2020 Ram ProMaster 2500 and your video came up while checking other gigs. Yes video is a bit long but only people that are in the same industry will truly appreciate. Minute 55:40 was the best part .. again.. only people in the same industry will understand and appreciate your video.
Well, it's more of tools tour than tool bag tour
Keeping your tip clean is very important for a lot of reasons.
Nice tools
Only advantage that a promaster has over a Transit or benz is they are cheaper...plain and simple. Fwd sucks and is just cheap. Cheap is good for a business for sure.
Nice video. Whats the name of the zip ties cutter please ?
Stick your microfiber’s in a ziplock freezer bag and throw them in that outside pocket...
What is the video card you installed? I got a mac pro used today, seems like is the 2,1
That's a Radeon HD6460; not anything great, but relatively low cost, HDMI, fan-less, (I hate replacing video cards because the crappy fans they use die too quickly), and I don't game on this machine. Best of luck!
Jesus do you ever stfu... we watching for the setup not you rambling
