I have a Felo T-handle just like yours (its a Torx25 rather than for 1/4" bits but the handle is exactly the same) and it often gets used for removing disc rotor bolts on mountain bikes. Its not for extra torque but for getting all my weight into the tool when I have to remove a bolt with a worn/partially rounded (cammed out) head.

My version of the Rigid Plumbing tool has paid for itself in Apt. maintenance.. The metal ends pop out for different uses (sink or tub drains), or the entire piece can straddle a hose up behind a sink; makes working alone easier ~

This seems like a real case of 'your mileage may vary' - most of those tools or similar get used by me on a regular basis in a light engineering/mechanics workshop. OK, not that weird Ridgid plumbing tool, but small hacksaws, step drills, needle nose locking pliers, soft hammers, stubby screwdrivers - all essential everyday tools as far as I'm concerned. And the claw tool is good for unblocking drains!
@AlexSwanson-rw7cv5 ай бұрын
That type of hammer is good for assembling steel frame garage shelving, assembling some flat-pack furniture, and woodworking with dowels and some other joints. I use small needle-nose vice grips too but not for "handyman" stuff.

I'm not new to tools and was just going to click off the video. Then you said challenge at the end, so I watched... OK, while I may have more tools, your suggestions here are almost the same as what I recommend those new homeowners or those starting out on their own. Challenge accepted. I have donated tools and have given basic kits similar to this away. Excellent video.

You need both left and right snips to make clean cuts. One cuts clean to the left and the other cuts clean to the right and doesn't matter in you are right or left handed lol
@BruceAllgire6 ай бұрын
Agreed. Red is left, green is right - I use all three, depending on the job.

As a plumber's experience in new construction and repairs I think the only one of those tools that still come in handy once in a while are the stubby screwdrivers. I think most of those situations came into play installing large 120 gallon solar water heaters. They can take over 50% more space than regular ones and retrofitting them sometimes reduces alot of clearances on electrical issues.

I keep my Klein flip sockets on my stubby so it takes up less room. I rarely need the stubby and the flip sockets usually get put on an impact driver, but if it’s just one odd bolt I can just use the stubby handle with the flip socket. Klein makes a very small ratcheting driver that I love. It doesn’t get used much, but when it does it is the only tool for the job. Used it today to take the backplate off some 2x4 ceiling grid lights that were under ductwork. Stubby was too tall to get on it.

Been checking your videos out, like your style with plenty of expierence, it shows, I’ve got 45 years, same kinda work, with still the same truck (70 Chevy 1 ton) loaded with everything possible too, I’m laughing at what you don’t use, think I’ll go through my truck and do the same, there’s a lot in there I haven’t touched for a long time, work I really rather not do to at my age… haha

I use my hand tools everyday. The biggest reason I’d recommend to go with brands like Knipex and Wera, is wear and tear on your body. They work so much more efficiently you feel it. All my channellocks and cheap screwdrivers have been donated. Get the upgraded handles on Knipex pliers. They grip with no effort, less fatigue. The wire cutters cut smooth, no snap at the end that damages your hands and wrist.

Honest review of tools bought with hard earned money . The first product is sold in lndia as kitchen drain cleaner/tangled hairball remover. But it can be used for odd jobs by attaching a small magnet in the grip . The odd hacksaw can be used by reversing the blade with teeth in inside direction and at constrained spaces where you keep on slipping/ missing the mark . The offset screwdrivers cannot be used properly but an offset spinner can be given a try . Wooden mallets are always better than rubber mallets .

Of course, this doesn't apply to all handyman because they all have different levels of skill. I have more than 10 years as a handyman. (1) I own a flex claw and never used it either. I tend to use my magnet extender more to reach for screws. (2) I use a mallet alll the time to install vinyl plank, laminate, and to hit on delicate things like a glass door that is requiring new rollers or framing, etc. (3) lmao i own that rigid plumbing tool and never used it once. And i really wanted it. (4) i use the mini hacksaw all the time when i need to cut something quick. Ive been in a few situations where the mini havksaw was the only thing that wouid do the job. It is a necessary tool for me. (5) ive never needed the needlenose vise grips. But they are good for servicing my tools, such as pinching off gas lines. I do landscaping as well. (6) i use snips all the time not just on sheet metal. I keep a straight pair for general work like installing duct or gutters. They also cut plastic and other thick material. They are essential in my kit. (7) step bits are absolutely fundamental. I use them a lot for custom work like drilling holes into metal in order to secure it to something. (8) the screwdriver can be used for all kinds of things. The sceew driver you have is a matter of preference, nothing more. (9) the T handle is the same case. Some guys use them, though it is not common. (10) never owned or needed a flexible right angle attachment. I do use my dewalt right angled attachment all the time. (11) the offset screw driver is another case of preference. I think most people tend to use the flat head more, for outlet covers. (12) I use the stubby all the time. Especially when installing ceiling fans because on some mounting covers you can't get to it any other way. The stubby is a fundamental part of my kit.

I have used that exact Fatmax tape for over 15 years. Loved it, never had any problems. Then, all of a sudden, the tape began to rust and all of the numbering pealed off in sheets over the course of one day. I'm disappointed, but after 15 years, it didn't owe me anything more. Given thus and videos like it, I'll probably won't even attempt another Stanley.

Nice setup! I originally planned on a similar cap and bedslide but it was cost prohibitive at the time so I got a Diamondback bed cover. I’m not able to carry as many tools as I’d like so I have to plan ahead and swap stuff out. I may switch to a cap at some point.

Love the way you have your side access panels set up; makes sense on what you might need to start with first; shoe covers, plastic, drop cloths, etc. Absolutely love the grab and go hardware store set up as well. Really makes me wish I could retrofit my 2011 Ford E250 with some panels that open up like that. (It seems like the some of the Chevy and GMC vans of my same era have panels that could be customized that way a little easier than on the Ford.) Lots of good ideas. Thanks for sharing. BTW, the Roosters are the icing on the cake. 😂
