[@randysmith9636]

Thank you for this. Although my career(s) has been costly from a tool purchasing standpoint. I absolutely love house building, remodeling and building decks. But my other love is being a automotive Tech. I got my ASE Certification in 87 but had been state certified for a few years prior to that. Attended MCI for auto mechanics but was working at shops since 77. I have actually went back and forth between the two and did building on the side while working at dealerships as a Tech. I said all that just to give you a time line and why I suspect it is around the 130-150 k mark. Buying tools from Snap On, Matco and Mac plus odds and ends plus Boxes. Buying more building tools than I care to think about. Of course as technology improves you upgrade. From corded to Battery powered. Sorry about the long and winded text. Stay Strong brothers.

23:33, in the US we call them end cutter/precision, and as another viewer pointed out the Knipex are for single use hose clamps Oetiker brand. 24:17 cartridge/shower valve wrenches in the US. 25:12 is a water valve key, use them on hose bibs and different kinds of water angle stops under the lav/sink.

[@zbruh7268]

It's amazing to add up all of your assets to figure your net worth. Stuff adds up quick! You also forgot the $50k vehicle, I would count that as a tool as well, since you couldn't do your job without it

[@alloutdoors5358]

The knipex pliers you found at 23:33 are for one time use hose clamp crimping. And removing.

[@miceinoz1181]

My wife knows I have a great many tools. My professional hand tools are worth a fortune, and many cannot be purchased any more because the manufacturers no longer exist. These are very high quality, many purchased overseas in various countries since 1974. My 1/4 drive Bonney flex sockets are around $40 each socket replacement cost (only Snap-On available). My aviation trade tools are around $20,000 but are all SAE sizes (no metric on western aircraft). My automotive workshop tools are around $53,000. My problem, insurance costs for them all.

just read the details, 15 years in yeah? I've been a sparky for just a wee bit longer, 17 years in it. I inventoried my tools for insurance reasons. It's crazy when you start getting to real specific meters, calibrators, and communicators. you start inventorying things that cost $3000-$6000 per tool...then you realize when you leave this world your kids who have no idea about this stuff will probably sell it for peanuts at an estate sale

One of my loves and careers is building. I fully understand brother it is definitely a addiction. Of course as Technology improves you buy the upgraded new and improved. Not to mention the 18 ft inclosed trailer. Probably spent 5k in ladders over the 40 plus years.

[@CalebBoender]

@@AddictedtoTools is it ok for a 14yr old to be enjoying this? Lol I have a addiction too 🔩🪛

[@AddictedtoTools]

100% mate. It started at your age for myself 😂👌👍

[@randysmith9636]

@@CalebBoender Yes it is, most of us that are into building or wood working started at a very early age. If your dad is into wood working or building things then it just becomes natural to feel connected to wood. I honestly love building and enjoy working in that field. Even though I got my ASE Certification in 87 for auto mechanics and made a good living doing that. I took breaks from that career to build houses and do remodeling. It gets very expensive when you have two loves for a career choice. But with building it is special because at the end you can look at what you accomplished and feel proud. First rule of building ( actually anything) If you don't have time to do it right the first time, where will find the time to do it a second time. Second rule. Your name is on everything you do. Do it with pride, do it like this is what you will be judged on. I do not building fast but I can promise that it is the absolute best it can be. I was blessed to have a mentor that built homes to such a high standard he had a 4 year waiting list. We never used a air nailer, he always felt that a good carpenter didn't need one. Good luck in your future endeavors. Edit to add. Buy good quality tools. I started using Douglas hammers and still do. Although they stopped production years ago they have since started making them again. Buy the very best tool that you can afford and take care of them and they will last. I had to save up for my first good hammer. Alot of builders use the TI hammers. I have held them but they felt odd to me. To light feeling on the head but many swear by them. Then again, I'm a older carpenter and set in my ways on certain things.

[@WorkingViews]

It adds up quick. the most expensive thing is time though, which garbage tools waste. 37k over ten years is only $10/day. Invest early in what you really need.

Cheers Jarrad. I tried attaching the veto a few ways but they all involved glue or adhesives as I didn’t want to put holes or screws through it. There’s no good adhesives that will stick to the veto plastic. I was told this by someone that works with the material. So the only way I’ve seen it done properly is with rivets through the bag onto stealthmounts packout feet.

A fluke 117 is £235 in the uk which is 300 USD or 450 AUD. I've had multiple 117s over the years but the cheapest I've ever bought one was £190 which is 241 USD.
