50 Cheap Tools I Actually Use

[@blanix6637]

Not everyone can afford the most expensive tools. However, that should not be a barrier to getting stuff done. Awesome video!

[@zenlandzipline]

Yeah, but some people CAN afford better tools, tools made in the USA, but they still buy the Chinese Amazon junk.

[@Batti2323]

Almost my entire Christmas list came from this video. Love the headband light for the welding helmet!! I was using the Velcro one based on your original video.

[@dallaseggleston4731]

I really liked this segment, everything started out as a gimmick, people said the light bulb was a gimmick, please keep up the great content, much appreciated!

[@CaptCha-p2q]

Great post without any bothersome music! Thanks.

hahah Im not one for music in my videos, just lots of talking

[@plywoodal3012]

Good stuff full of useful nuggets. One nitpicky comment, your hands are very busy constantly bouncing and waving and turning the items. Less would be better. Keep in mind I’m an old cranky guy easily annoyed. 😑

[@fiveeightdrumstudio3499]

I just want to say, I have been watching you for a few years now. The quality and information/tools you provide have been absolutely invaluable for me. As an electrician/fitter mechanic Thank you for the contribution you are to others, I have purchased many tools from your recommendation which has saved many hours of my life my family and I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I look forward to contributing back to you many times over!

Kind of a funny thing about tool snobbery. So many times, a tool that I have got5en cheap, modified or even made myself, can work better than a stock manufactured tool. I truly appreciated the fact that you showed so many curious people a possible tool that might work for their particular project(s) or shop and it probably cost them less than they thought. Maybe some people didn't even realize there is a "tool for that". Thanks for helping our knowledge and ideas progress. KK

[@kyronnewbury]

I bought one of those Hoto electric screwdrivers and I use it all the friggin time. One of the best purchases I've made in years!

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Here's another cheap tool that I love for acetone - the HF MADDOX 32 oz. Refillable Pressurized Sprayer. Thanks, this is a must for all the wives for the husband who has everything.

[@Rob-Hannon]

Love mine for acetone. Metal prep, paint gun cleaning, discouraging wasps. Awesome tool.

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

I too own and love tools from both of the green companies 😁! Mainly the cheap green tools since the expensive green tools are seriously nuts, and I love nearly all of them. Use what you can afford and also what makes you happy. My $25 silly little mini ryobi hot glue gun brings me joy every damn time use it.

[@fngrusty42]

Being a carpenter for 40 years, you have your main tool set. But you when building custom homes, you never know what you're getting into. I figured I was on any home, maybe 3 months . Some more, some less . So when I ran into something different, buying the tool from Harbor Fright was the best way to go . Saved tons of money. Plus, I found most of their tools really held up.

[@zenlandzipline]

Do you at least cheer for the USA during the Olympics? Please tell me you don’t root for China.

[@benmolina2058]

Great video! Loads of useful products or tools to get the job done. Thanks

[@WillbanksHeight]

Great collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I've only used that bag a few times haha. Also, I love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch with the DE print and I love the little chain. But I don't want to spend that much money right now and the kislux always gets me the bag I want and it's just as good as the LV and one of my favorites. Durability

[@rlytwyniuk]

One of the best "tools" videos on KZbin. A lot of stuff I hadn't considered - Thanks

[@jerryodell1168]

Just a little note of warning: The 1-2-3 blocks are made for specific purpose. The ones I use are primarily for non-metal work and quick check. Therefore, they don't need all of the threaded holes inside. Most of the metal working ones are machine better with more threaded holes so they can be bolted down if needed. Obviously the more simple version are cheaper. My Son would use the more expensive type for His work.

[@KLartrandM]

First time on your channel. Lots of cool things ive never seen before. Thanks. 👊🏿

[@jimtaylor1204]

I have the Ryobi die grinder. It works great. I love it.

[@temper9993]

THANK YOU for the heads up on so many cool tools. I bought, just now, the Dewalt collapsing table based on your recommendation. I found it for fifty three dollars with free shipping. As for Milwaukee tools, they have the best advertising but Ridgid gives you a LIFETIME warranty INCLUDING batteries, NO questions asked. Imagine never having to buy another power tool battery.

[@MakeEverything]

Thats a great deal! Where'd you find that table so cheap!?!

[@locomotioncreations]

A lot of good information. Great video man

This is the way a shop should look!

[@paulgimenez1846]

Chris thanks for sharing the information

[@ImLeeBee]

I own one of those Goldblatt trim pullers and can agree, they're brilliant. So much in fact, that I'm probably gonna buy the slightly smaller size soon too, just to take up a little less room in my tool bag. I wouldn't say they're cheap though. In the UK at least, they're around £25-£40 depending on which size. Not super expensive, but compared to basic trim pullers it's a a decent chunk of change.

[@assessor1276]

Great info - well done!

[@BladSpot]

I bought a kislux red mini Chanel bag, wish I had more Chanel bags, but considering my budget it's cool to have one bag

[@brianjuris2061]

I was recommended for butane soldering irons to go to a cigar shop and get the most distilled butane possible. Make sure it says quadruple distilled or better, so that any impurities don’t get into your butane jets in your iron.

[@MakeEverything]

Thats a great idea! Ill definitely give that a try!

[@1pcfred]

You take your crack smoking seriously.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

I've got a wen bandsaw had it for years love it,the wen brand blades are the best I've used, Dewalt blades are terrible, great video..

[@MakeEverything]

Yeah I use the iMachinist blades from Amazon. They are inexpensive and work well, much cheaper than getting them “custom” made form a saw blade company

[@permanentmeanstreak9054]

Swanson speed squares are a must have. 100 year anniversary of their company this year. They have a set with a tiny 4" trim speed square and a normal 7". Got my new set at lowes.

[@1pcfred]

Go Big 12 or go home.

[@FOURfabrication]

I got all Milwaukee drills and batteries in the shop and I smoke through a M18 5.0 battery almost every day. At home we have my wife’s Ryobi drill, which we actually use all the time cause it’s my garage drill for motorcycle projects. I’ve charged it once since I’ve known her, and she said she had never charged it

[@noidretlaw]

Thanks for sharing these.... super helpful

[@aaronbuildsa]

Let me tell you .. the butane iron at @41:00 or so - accidentally leaning on the hot end is a mistake you'll only make once. Speaking from experience 😅 I set mine down on the fender (unpainted project car), leant over the engine bay and stuck my forearm right on top of it.. took a second for my brain to register what the sensation was but that was long enough to leave a lovely burn!

[@MakeEverything]

@@aaronbuildsa ouch!!!

[@jeremyspecce]

About the acetone dispenser, the other great benefit is that, the alternative is probably leaving the can open and having the potential of knocking over and spilling flammable liquid all over.

[@gsmith6255]

Thank you good info made my list.

[@Rob-Hannon]

“Getting stuff drilled out of them (eyes) really really sucks.” Talk about an understatement. The eye burr is the most terrifying thing I have experienced.

[@LTDan-pk3mx]

[@paulbosman926]

Fantastic

[@RCWorks]

Is that headlamp bright enough to let me see, beforehand, where I want my first strike? Thanks. Really helpful video.

[@MakeEverything]

YES! That’s exactly what it’ll help with! I use mine every day

[@ljprep6250]

OMG, $80 for a Justrite solvent dispenser can? I found 3/$10 plastic acetone dispensers, 4oz work fine. That's a good list. I find that I already own about half of them.

[@mateuszcelmer6180]

Would you share the file you used to 3D print the bitholder for your Skil driver? I have the same one, and would LOVE to have bits onboard!

[@MakeEverything]

I’m gonna fix it up a bit and post it on inventables. If you shoot me an email I can send it to you!

[@jnic2003]

If you ever run into threads that aren't on your thread file. Get a triangle thread file also known as a slim taper file. One time I spent a whole work day hand filing this huge 2in diameter thread on a boat rudder.

[@stevenhintz5508]

I’ve got the Ryobi die grinder, great tool

[@jnieveslocobanana]

Happy holidays to you, this was a great Video, I did notice something on your "tungsten sharpener what is the modification that is on the barrel of the Milwaukee Rotary tool?

[@buzzsah]

I nomally don't watch long vids, however this had some good info

[@MakeEverything]

Thank you! This is the longest video I've ever produced but I wanted to give each tool a little bit of time so it didn't just feel like a brush over.

[@JeffRupp-n2s]

A note on the M18 heat gun, they are crap with the non-high output batteries, but work well with a high output M18 battery.

[@MakeEverything]

Il have to give mine another try… I almost feel like lately it’s gotten weaker maybe the element is damaged

[@1pcfred]

You had me at, they are crap

[@codykane7742]

We saw you drop that baton 4 Chris

[@unionse7en]

i like beater digital calipers.. but for battery sabing the igaguge absolute ones are nice because they can fully turn off to save the battery. you could mod cheapos with a true kill switch if you re-zero every time.

[@unionse7en]

never knew about the adjustable transfer punches..handy! The ryobi mister fans are very good, multiple cheap tools is often better than 1 expensive one... less bit changes, and when a tool breaks on a sunday night.....

[@1pcfred]

You're going to be rezeroing cheap calipers all the time anyways.

This is all shit I’ve been putting off getting😅 but I gotta good start up now so I can focus on little quality of life improvements and fine-tuning some equipment every time I button something up I wish I would’ve done it sooner

[@MusseAmble]

I bought a canvas LV bag with my first bonus and within 2 years the purse was cracked/broken in multiple places and the store refused to repair or replace it. I don't know what resale value this crap has. I ended up donating it... well maybe I could buy a fake LV from kislux but these designers/robber barons don't even think about taking a dime from me. This one satisfies my fantasy of many authentic products and I can afford to buy them.

[@glockguide]

I HATE that motion sensor on the headlamp, every time I move my head in a tight space it turns the light off. Then the button to cycle the motion sensor on/off is beside the light on/off - which is probably how the sensor keeps getting turned on to start with. I'd be happier with just an on/off and banging my head against a wall when i don't want to touch it 🤣

[@baileysrottie228]

Ryobi is owned by Milwaukee and why some tools is not made by Milwaukee

Harbor freight has air fittings that are way less than five or six bucks each

[@1pcfred]

Yeah and they're absolute garbage. Buy Milton.

[@jack002tuber]

@@1pcfred I have some that are over 20 years ole and work perfectly.

[@1pcfred]

@@jack002tuber I've had off brand air chucks and fittings from Harbor Freight and they were never any good. But with cheap products the problem there is variability. Some may be good and others not so good. That's a large part of why it is cheap. There's just no consistency. Quality Assurance is completely lacking. They let the customer do the inspection and pass the savings onto you? That works for some but not for me.

[@jstaffordii]

@@1pcfred HF sells Milton air fittings for around $2 each

[@jum5238]

Woah... I think I just dropped about $4-500 on getting some of these "cheap" tools. I've been DYING to get a Dalluge DA bar for trim work after someone showed me theirs removing trim on the front of my house a month ago. But I CANNOT find anybody selling them, and BEWARE! I found one... price too good to be true. And it was. And they stole my credit card number. So I got two of the trim pullers (I see me losing one in the shop, and needing another one). My old setup table doesn't have the structural strength to be a miter saw stand, and it's sagging, so I pulled the trigger on the one from HD, which was cheaper but also worked with my military discount. Aaaaand I picked up a number of other things. I've got to stay away from these kinds of videos! (I need those slip-on type of outer/under shoes... but.... ugh). Try not to make too many of those videos, mmmkay? (That's me saying THANKS for showing some great tools!) That panel lifter (2-pack, btw!) is going to save my back!

I have a Chanel lambskin square pearl bag and a Chanel handbag but my lambskin square petal bag I have worn 2 times and I am very careful but somehow still has small scratches on the leather and the gold on the clasp. I don’t know what happened but I paid over $3,000 for it a few years ago and I am upset that it already has scratches. No one notices now but I notice the price I paid for it. I’m saving up to buy another kislux bag now that I won’t be paying full price anymore.

[@davedoessomestuff8176]

Absolutely hilarious that this video about cheap tools is getting bot comments for fake bags lmfao

I would like to add about first aid kit. If you working with big powerful tools like saws, drills, planers etc - please make sure you have tourniquets everywhere! Don't buy cheap shit from China, get good expensive ones, and make sure to try putting them few times before! If, God forbid, you cut an artery - you will have a bit less then a minute to stop the blood, and since most of us are alone doing our favorite stuff - you will have to help yourself! Spend 200 bucks, get yourself 5 of them, throw them everywhere within your reach and hope you will never have to use them! Be safe and be happy:)

[@DomenickTina]

If fakes can give me the same quality as the real thing, I need fakes! I don't want to pay more! I always buy the bags I want at kislux .
