A Day in The Life of a Carpenter - Using Hikoki 36V for the First Time

I filmed an entire day on site, as I tried Hikokis 36V tools for the first time. I have done a bunch of testing on these tools in my massive head to head video, and after seeing how well Hikoki did in that test, I had to bring them onto site and give them a proper test.

Production apartment framer in the USA. The receprecating saw is the king , the 1st gen skillsaw has a cult following second gen is just a "stud" and the triple hammer impact is loved by all. Not to mention price to entry is above all.

Painters going to love whoever fitted those architraves 😮

[@dustinkrebs8229]

I run Metabo HPT tools and love them. They are priced very well here in the states.

[@Knackers_Oreilly]

Are they the old Hitachi brand?

Congrats on 100k!

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

Thankyou!

Love ya work dave. Handy tip for the smoothedge, if you have a square mouth shovel, either short handle or long wooden handle, you can just slam it against the smoothedge and more often than not the smoothedge + the nail will come out all in 1 long strip. Keep crackin mate

@9:50 "I think I prefer this over the Festool".....big call :)

I used hitachi when they had the old post batteries, changed to dewalt. Was going to switch to Milwaukee nails guns but my tool repair guy said dont. Sees less of dewalt amd more of the red devil. The track saw plunge is better on the wrists than every other gun. Cheers homeslice. Carpentry Australia 👍btw, torque test channel tested the new 860. Rated at 4500bpm. Their test revealed over 5000 bpm, thats 11 beats per second 😮😮

I'm a mature age apprentice from the moreton Bay Region. I see you everywhere, commenting on carpentry posts videos and pages. Good to see someone with as many years as you in the trade still be involved and passionate in their trade.

[@needaman66]

@@levro7367 wha? I'm only 64 🤣 good on you young fella, we need more guys in the trade that guve a sh-t 🔨

[@wallywillis1624]

Could have mitre the skirting so it runs seamless if that makes sense. Runs down from the 80mm on an angle down to the 66.

[@cryptodojoau5425]

You've worn out the bristles on your speed square brush! 😁

[@Thomas-yh2ft]

Do you ever split the bag just across the middle with concrete or cement bags? It then folds in half and is clean to tip into a bucket or just use half etc. Have recently discovered the channel and loving the vids. I've got some OBVS pouches on the way 👍

[@cryptodojoau5425]

Which gauge nails is that hikoki using?

[@drunkntigr]

Are you using the 10ga framer on the trim? Why not use the 16ga or 15ga?

[@bobmarli6095]

You’ve had the hikoki framer for a while now so technically not the first time

[@bobmarli6095]

@JustAChippie Title doesn’t mention that so it’s a bit of clickbait

[@HRC557]

The digital level as a screeed 😭😭😭

[@alessandrozito4145]

Mate use a copping saw for your scribes. Anything else is just rough

[@user-mv5rf9xb9c]

One last video before bed

[@user-mv5rf9xb9c]

Now makita!

[@auntytizza]

That's a whole lot of water sitting there under the deck 😅

[@dingeldiy]

Oi Dave! Collab?

[@Knackers_Oreilly]

I dont get how these tool manufacturers always seem to stuff up the ergonomics of a tool. If they dont feel good in your hands they just wont sell many.

[@Mrcrown38]

Omg the pain that poor fucking level, you monster 😢 awesome video but

[@hansmlbak6116]

that track saw from dewalt is the worst in the world

[@ashtonormesher9682]

Everything from dewalt is the worst in the world
