Even if someone isn't mechanically inclined, having a basic multi meter to check for voltage whether it's household or vehicle is always nice. This list could go on forever but everyone needs tools... even if it's a pink set in the kitchen ;)

Yep, an inexpensive multi meter is a great suggestion..... and a very handy tool. Ironically, I've actually used my multi meter in my kitchen. lolol. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the video. For the home... Would add stud finder, duct tape, painters tape to help hang stuff, Teflon tape, zip ties

Yep, those are all great suggestions! This video was geared more towards hand tools but supplies like different types of tape and zip ties are also must-haves in any home. Thanks for the comment, Sir.

Yo Brian, What a great video idea, I loved this. I like that GFCI tester at 13:03 I actually don’t have one of those. But a while back I had to fix a ceiling fan, and needed a non-contact voltage detector. I did my research, and settled on the; Sperry Instruments VD6505 It’s adjustable, from 12-1000 Volts AC, but I discovered because the adjustment is so sensitive in even works on 12 DC stuff. It was $12 on Amazon, and I love using that thing. Current price is $18. Another thing I would add is a basic $20 multimeter for checking household batteries; AA, AAA, D, 9 Volt in smoke detectors, etc. An addition to flashlights, I like a good head mounted “headlight” to keep my hands free so I can cause even more damage. My neighbor Walt Kowalski says; “Any man worth his salt can do half of all household repairs with three things, WD40, Duct Tape, and Vise Grips”. I guess if its supposed to move, and isn’t lube it. If it’s moving, and it isn’t supposed to tape it. I’ll leave a link to a clip in a separate comment, in case of the spam folder. -Chuck
The Sperry unit you purchased looks like two tools in one. A circuit tester and a non-contact voltage tester. The circuit tester portion of the Sperry unity looks identical to the GB one that I have in this video. (other than color) I also have the Non contact voltage detector and they are very nice to have. I've been warned to never fully trust a non contact voltage detector..... Sometime they will show no voltage, because the tool is not 100% accurate, then the electrician finds out the hard way that there really was voltage present. Either way, I like using the one I have..... and it's always been accurate as far as I know.... For me anyway. Good point on the cheap multi meter..... It's another handy tool to have on hand. As for headlamps, I had a cheap one years ago and I only used it a few times before it was broken and in the garbage. I should get another one and try using them again. I'd probably like using it better than holding a flashlight. Yep, the spam filter caught those URL links...... and I approved them..... but now they don't appear at all. No sure what happened. Your neighbor, Walt Kowalski, from Gran Torino? lolol. Thanks

actually good tools everyone should have... I'm sure there are some missing but all depends and these are all useful. I think these days a more expanded really nice screwdriver set proves invaluable. I have a set of larger and an ifixit kit one that has been amazing for so many small electronics and unusual fastener types.

Yes, a small screwdriver set is VERY handy, especially these days with all these electronics and their small screws. Good point. Thanks!

What about Stud Finders? I personally feel like that's an essential tool to you have for a home
@SlipFitGarage Жыл бұрын
Yes, a good stud finder is an excellent idea! I haven't tried a stud finder in MANNY years but I never had good luck with them being accurate. However, like I said, I have not tired a stud finder in in a long time and I'm sure they've gotten much better these days. If you can find a GOOD stud finder that provides accurate result then it would be a very valuable tool to have in any tool box. Thanks for the comment!
