It's stuffed with tons of tools and spare parts. He prefers plumbing work because that's what he enjoys and the money's good, but he's equipped for lots of other jobs.

His full size van has an assortment of plywood and steel shelves, and a DIY plywood bulkhead separates the cab from the rest of the truck. Bin organizers hold plumbing and electrical parts and neatly separate things like replacement valves and wire nuts.

Most most of his tools are small hand and power tools, but he does carry a table saw and a compound miter saw.

No air tools here! Everything is battery powered. An on-board charging system that gets plugged in to the grid keeps power tool batteries charged.

Because jobs are unpredictable and varied, he keeps a couple of empty toolbags in the van that he fills with the tools he needs on demand. This keeps toolbags from being too heavy, and means he doesn't need to dig around through unnecessary tools on the jobsite.

Make sure to check out Part 2 and Part 3 of his handyman van setup.
