The speaker provides a comprehensive tour of his service van, showcasing a highly organized system of bins, racks, and custom adaptations. He details the specific placement of HVAC tools, electrical components, and consumables, emphasizing a layout designed for efficiency and accessibility during field work.
Hey guys, I'm at the shop
and I'm pulling a vacuum on my recovery drums.
I thought today might be a good day
to do a van tour like a friend of mine just did.
Stay tuned.
Well guys,
why don't we
start back here.
We're back here.
I may have shown all these before, but this is a set that goes
in a bucket to organize the tools on the outside of a bucket.
And I just adapted those and put those in the back back here.
um down here i've got thermostats
mostly extra thermostats extra tools
this is the mueller
um jaw set for the press tool
this is my vacuum pump as you can see down
in here and um this is
vacuum pump oil i do use
this light i mostly use it in the van
in here all pvc stuff same as this
and i like this one better in here is battery
adapters or holders for batteries those for the
ryobi makita ryobi because i got a bunch of makita batteries
and i don't use the makita very much
there's nothing in here nothing
in that one up here i've got some vacuum hoses and my cheater
my main vacuum hose is up here let's see down
here it's all kinds of like grinder blades and
bits oscillating tool blades more
grinder blades and cut off blades
and bits that's what that
drawer is for here i do keep a few of my favorite
books to keep that one's from old school i just
like keeping it in here and i do keep me
an uglies reference guide over here it's just extra clothes
in case i get myself
so dirty i can't do anything like i said
that's pvc in here i've got
all kinds of weird stuff this is the board
that lets you put an ECM on any PSC application
basically this right here
is a relay that lets you power
um any fan speed and it will power
the um sometimes you have to use two relays
and that that keeps you from having to use two relays
especially if you have a furnace or something
that's why we use those this is a motor tester
to test ECM motors this is an inspection
camera of course gloves
and we got meter leads and
gaskets and stuff like that right here
as you can see in here it says thermostats but surge
protectors thermostats carbon monoxide detectors
and a couple extra meters back there and this is
more this box is more install stuff Romex
and seal tight connectors
let me see supposed to be
some more stuff here there it
is let me see up here i got some of my smaller tools heat gun
sawzall old impact i think this is the old
um surge impact i'm not real sure about that
and this is the one I had before
the one I have now ratchet heat
gun soldering tip this is just
all kinds of connectors from wire nuts
to spade connectors to just nuts and screws
just general stuff
and that's more of the same tap cons
and screws just bigger items and this
one is where i keep all my breakers i decided to keep breakers in here
because sometimes that
little screw in the breaker comes out
and if you got it in a container like this you're able to
keep those let me see what's over here pvc pvc
connections my blower my ladder extra copper
um a lot of the spray stuff that we use everything
from paint to pb blaster to
wasp killer there's some foam cleaner
back there too and this is also some
cleaner that I've got you got
my big blue spray back here this is just a
spray bottle for water
these are mostly sequencers back here and heat related
stuff pressure switches thermocouples
couple other of the ring sequencers
alright and this is mostly fuses
but some split bolts and stuff like that a
couple of motors this thing i rarely ever use i
thought i just had to have it isopropyl alcohol
for cleaning micron
gauge mostly fuses
this is a press tool and i
keep the RLS press fittings
in here um i do keep down here
my press fittings but um i keep
the RLS stuff in here because that's
what i use most of the time in here
are my 18 volt Makita tools
my drill an impact a sawzall
rotary hammer extra copper down here
in here i've got my my Navac flaring tool
my fan i use when
it's hot this is True Blue
o's i don't like very much um air inflator
for the tires this saw which
i happen
to really like it's
a 40 volt saw or 36 volt
and lots of gas fittings
all right let's see
what we got over here this is my camera stuff right here normally
these two go up front this
goes in the seat and that goes in front of it
this is a pressure washer a Ryobi pressure washer
this is like it says it's just extra tools
um heat stuff, fusible links, limits, my cooler
and this is coil cleaner stuff
the coil gun and this stuff that
goes with it and up here mostly
i keep batteries and a few things up here over
here more motors, motors, this is flue gas tester
ignition control boards, capacitors all the way
from here to here, contactors, transformers, relays
more boards back there, this is what i normally take
when i have to start cutting open
drain lines, it's got some glue, a couple of different pvc cutters
and down here this is just
random stuff that i i didn't want to put in a specific box
because i use it more frequently
tubing bender, um this is a aluminum
repair kit that i've yet to use of course
y'all know i use
these to clean drains, this i have
my my hole saw, um 10k thermistors
and these are actually a couple
start kits, very small, um i'm
not sure what i got over here, i think this is all ream stock
yeah that's all ream stock regular
copper fittings, recovery machine
my wet dry vac
my plug-in vacuum pump just some random stuff here
that i use once in a while my
megohmmeter
this is the Mueller streamline fittings
that have the double o-rings you can see that i
do use those sometimes
as i showed you before RLS fittings
and let me see back here oxygen
acetylene extra tank nitrogen R454A two recovery drones
that is my jumper cables down there that
i keep i keep in good shape over here i'm keeping
a couple of these Klein tools let me show you
which ones i've got the pass-through sockets
and um i forget which one what you would call this one
but i really like it it's got some nice little options
on it MO99 410 MO99 410 and one of my
battery walls i've got one here and i got another
one in the back right here i'd usually use these
for my vacuum pump that's a 12 8 12
and that's a 6 i've got another
8 somewhere but normally
throughout the day these are the batteries that i use
and i keep them rotated so when i pull one
off the top i rotate them all around
and take this one put it here this one there there and there
so um i do rotate all of these that small pack
out right here is for my torches and this is
commonly used wire terminals, wire nuts, spade
connectors, zip screws, stuff like that, first aid
kit, my PVC I keep in this and it goes all the way
to the back back there and um I'll go over
the front in here just a little bit, okay, in the front
I have a um this is really a computer stand
that I have adapted for an iPad stand
so it's set for the very top of it, it's very sturdy, it's not
going anywhere and I power just about everything off
of one of those DeWalt, I guess you'd call
that a dongle or a charger, those are up there
for my camera that I use sometimes, this is a
2000 watt pure sine wave inverter
for the electricity hold
on and I have it set up so that
you would call this right here a solenoid
but it's really like a relay so when these when
these right here get 12 volts from the ignition it connects
this to this so that's the battery
power right here
and as soon as you turn the ignition it goes over here and powers this
to bring on the inverter so it can't run
when the ignition's not on and let me see
that right there's a little kicker amp if y'all
can see that right there and that goes over to
this box right here, it's hard to see
but that's a little subwoofer back there, one last thing I
think i'll show you um my chargers
and most of my electric
in the van i have the um electricity
comes down here it goes in there and then this plugs
in behind this wall back here i have this
charger a rapid charger
and a Makita charger i just put this one on i've got like six batteries
i don't always need a charger
but sometimes it's nice to just turn on the charger when you're going
down the road i do have some long trips
and this is my PPE as close as i'm gonna get
but yeah that's
my van and changed a whole lot since last year
um there are a couple new and different things on it
but um i pretty much set it up the way i want it
and i like it like that if you enjoyed this
little van and this little tour how about give me
a thumbs up i'll catch you on the next one
