My father in law told me when it comes to clamps they can be expensive to buy tons of them all at once so what you do is either every paycheck or every time you go to a store like home depot/harbor freight etc... you buy a clamp or two even if you don't need them at that time. Over the course of a year two you will eventually have enough clamps to serve in any capacity without breaking the bank.

Meh, not so much the impact driver. If someone is starting with nothing, the impact driver merely speeds work up, doesn't really enable doing anything more except "maybe" drilling holes if a hex shank drill set was included, and if the benefit is just drilling holes then might as well make it one of their $10 special corded drills. Even then, meh no, save the money and pick that up at a garage sale or pawn shop later, as the idea that everything needs to come from the same store makes no sense in reality.

@@stinkycheese804 Let's start with the end. Nobody ever said you had to buy everything from one store, or even suggested that you should. They had a video idea and went with it, one store makes filming easier. I used one store as an alternative, again, because of ease. Now that we've addressed that... An impact driver can be used for automotive work as well as general around the house work. Which objectively makes it the better choice given how close in price drills and impact drivers are these days.

I did something like this last year for my buddy for Christmas, but car focused & Harbor Freight. Tool bag, socket set, plier set, screwdrivers, carpet knife, jumper cables, flashlight, emergency LED triangle, Allen keys. Built the car kits for my wife & my cars years ago. Was on a road trip to palm springs & didn't take into account BMW uses torx for everything so when a window regulator broke on the road I hadda add a set of torx sockets from Autozone. Glad I kept the tool bag in my car for the trip though! Over budget but handy is a jump pack and tire inflator. This kit should be in every car.

@@ecoKady It's a starter kit. It's also an indicator of what tools you need to invest for longevity. New homeowners may not know this yet. I think $100 is I very low, especially with inflation, and this is the level of quality you can expect with $100 compared to what I spent on my first set of framing tools, and that cost over $100 for belt and hand tools. A coworker went to harbor freight first, spent under $100, and had to replace his framing hammer, tape measure, and speed square after a month and his bags were fraying. Never had to replace any of my tools because they broke from regular use, it's because they fell into places I couldn't get them (Screwdrivers, drill bits, punches, a chisel) or I dropped it off a ladder (my favorite tape measure).

Harbor freight is pretty much the best place to go when working on budgets like this or goodwill/value village/habitat store. Instead of a tight time limit it would be interesting if you did 150 bucks to build the best tool kit possible. Hit up garage sales, craigslist, marketplace etc. Maybe do like a 3 day time limit to give time to organize pickups etc.

Sam definitely won this. I have never used spring clamps in my time as a homeowner, and I don't think I ever will. I also wouldn't think a first time homeowner would need a socket set. You start with your drill/driver combo for power tools, tape measurer, hammer, duct tape, screwdriver set or multi-bit screwdriver, and drywall putty. I always get my friends drywall putty when they first buy a home because I know they're going to need it and that they won't think about needing it. At least Sam thought of a caulk gun which is closer to general home repair. Ooo, and a bucket if you can fit it in the budget.

Y'all screwed up by not getting that Anvil tool kit. I bought the almost identical HDX version for my now-wife so she'd have some tools in her apartment. It came with her when she moved in and I use that thing all the time. Super nice to have a set of tools in the house/upstairs all in a compact kit. I haven't broken any of the tools and the quality is decent on everything except the little mini spring clamps. Rarely do I need to go out to the garage and find a better tool when doing the kinds of quick maintenance tasks you do inside a house. It fills like 90% of the first time homeowners needs. Has metric and imperial hex keys and the adjustable wrench is actually pretty decent size!!! they don't skimp on a tiny 5-6" one like most tool kits. The current $45 price seems a little bit too high, but if you can find it on sale it is worth it. Throw in a saw, some channellocks, some kind of square, a picture hanging kit and a multipack of sandpaper, maybe a small socket set, and you've got a winner for $100. Oh, and some diagonal cutters since it looks like the Anvil kit cheaped out and swapped the wire cutters for a bottle opener.

You should have grabbed something with a 10mm socket. Duck Tape is great, and WD-40 but I find myself only using those maybe once-twice a year for home repair projects, not something very often. If you’re building IKEA furniture you NEED a right angle way to screw in things since that furniture is brutal without it. So maybe a right angle bit driver? Another thing is a light source? What if you’re working on your drying machine, you need to replace the power cord in your new home but can’t see what you’re doing? You’re replacing the P-Trap in your restroom sink and have zero light? A solid light source is a must if you include that as a tool. Honestly wire strippers as well are great, but you can get by with a solid utility knife. A Milwaukee Fastback is a must here.

I didn’t know about 3:1 oil. I just learned about wipe on poly. I bought a speed square at the register because it was like $3. 😂… homes definitely need a depot. And a strong shout out to those with harbors who bring us the freight. Lord knows we need it.

Even though i know youre in the area, it still trips me out that this is thr Home Depot i go to too haha Im less excited about it being Pixburgh Stiller who's a fellow shopper, and more that a woodworking youtuber i love to watch is 😂 Watching the main channel vids is a good factor in me trying to revamp my basement wood shop

That was fun. I think it would be awesome to set the store for the category before choosing the category. Might I suggest Wal-Mart for the plumbing or the electrical - that would be hilarious!

The caulking gun is actually very useful as part of a kit...more of sealing things up more easily for quick repair work

The golden rule for buying tools that I was taught is to buy an affordable version of the tool you think you want, and then if you use it enough to wear it out buy the nice version that'll last a life time.

How do you all shop looking at prices that are BEFORE TAX? All UK listed prices are tax included. No nasty surprises at checkout.

Maybe not within the rules of this game, but the homeowner kits are great! My husband laughed at my girly little kit, but its small enough to keep in the kitchen, and the tools aren't burly but they're enough for 90% of the quick fixes and installs. (Bonus: there's a designated spot for each item, so its easy to see if something is missing and track down the last person who used it.)

YT happen to show this channel to me and so far enjoying this and binging your content. Love these for good ideas. Sadly in my 40s with no real tool sets. But wife and I have been look up for tool ideas because we are wanting to eventually work on starting a farmstead in the future. So besides the gardening things. We are looking at home remodeling and repair ideas to give us an ideas of what tools we may need. So the general and electrical was nice. Waiting on Carpentry and Plumbing. But for Carpentry could split it up to have smaller sub categories drywall, framing, flooring as there is a lot in the group. But did like the all in one square on this.

As a Home Depot guy myself, I can tell you that the department supervisors (at least at my stores) love making deals. You could've stretched that 100 to maybe 200 if you had a sup walk around with you. Especially if you have a great relationship with the management there.

You guys only checked one clearance section at Home Depot. A lot of times there are better clearance. Power tool options and what Home Depot calls their race track. There are yellow tag clearance items all throughout the store. Not just on that end cap.

When it said general i automatically thought about getting some from each category…I would have included a pipe wrench, maybe a level. And i definitely would have included a multi meter or a voltage tester..I actually got a combo kit with both at HD for $14.99
