Handyman Startup Tools!

[@qzetu]

If you're looking to start a business you need to first look at the handyman laws in your state. (Some states allow you to make more or less per job, without being licensed.) Make sure you're careful as to how you advertise if you're not liscensed or bonded. ( Do not advertise as if you are a licensed contractor, if you are not. You will be fined.) Don't put flyers in mail boxes. Do not take on commercial jobs if you're not licensed. Only do residential and be clear about that while advertising and when speaking to a costumer. There are people looking for unlicensed handyman to fine if breaking law and they will in some cases try and trick you. Be aware. You should expect to spend about 3000$ on tools just to start. You should own a table saw, a mitersaw, a air compressor, hose, 18 & 16 guage nail guns, a skil saw, a multi tool, grinder, a reciprocating saw, a jig saw, a angle drill, a mixing drill, a cordless drill, a vacuum, a sander... landscaping tools like rake, shovel, blower, wheel barrel, hedge trimmer, axe, weed eater, painting tools like floor tarps, rolling poles and roller, paint brushes, small buckets, and rags, flooring tools like 1/4 & 3/8 trowels, buckets, sponges, wet saw, scrappers, chualk line, etc, plumbing tools like wrenches, etc, electrical tools like testers, strippers, needle nose, etc. Do a lot of research on your tools and buy some of them on Craigslist. For example, I needed a manual tile cutter but they were 200$+ for a good one. I bought a good one for 15$ on Craigslist. You should separate your tools based on the specific jobs you do. All my tile tools stay together as well as my painting stuff, etc. I keep one bucket with a sleeve with all my small hand tools. I have been using it for years so I have exactly what I need and it goes with me regardless of the job. I don't keep any of my tools in my van, ever. I have spent thousands of dollars so each day I unload in my garage and I load up what I need for the next day. Make sure to keep a socket set &drill bits with you because I can't tell you how many times I needed it. The best time to buy your tools is around Christmas when home Depot has all kinds of specials. Buy quality tools with your money so they last. The best place to get hand tools is at the swap meet & yardsales. Stay away from gimmick tools. I use three ladders for everything. I have one 6 foot painter's ladder, one 6 foot fiberglass ladder for electrical like changing out fans, and I have one 22 foot gorilla ladder to get up to high places. It is rated at 300 pounds and is 11 or 13 feet tall when A framed which allows me to use as a high painting ladder. I thought a 4 foot ladder would be useful but it really wasn't. I sent it back. Never leave your tools out in the sun as it will destroy them. Anyway, hope this helps some of you.

[@RogueVaper]

So many bots replied to your comment lol! I just wanted to thank you for the info!

[@jeanalexandre1105]

Buy tools on as needed basis. Also remember you could also rent tools like sheetrock lift floor sanders and so on and so forth. Start and grow your business organically no loans.

[@RandOm-yp4ix]

Sheetrock jack at my local rental store $65/day, cost to buy one on Amazon... $135. Just buy it.

[@belo621]

Amazingly enough most homeowners have small bits and pieces of these tools. I would love to pursue the contractor field.

[@joaopedroalbernaz]

I hope the Makita will come my way here in California now. Congrats for the 2k, I'm here since less than 200, you are growing so quickly, i like your videos very much, i miss the low voltage videos, would be cool if you show more low voltage stuff. The trailer transformations are a series of videos I'm enjoying a lot

[@handymanjourney]

Great video covering the overall needs for tools of the handyman!

[@oside7603]

You are my favorite youtuber, wish you the best of buisness in 2019

[@toyo2502]

Great video, also get a foldable Wagon or Utility Cart to carry imediate needed tools inside site to avoid multiple trips to truck /trailer.

[@alancharvis1566]

I am a new viewer and subscriber. I am trying to get things together to start a handyman business. That makita set would fit right into my plans. Thanks

[@andressoto803]

This video was better than I expected. Nice work

[@LX1X15]

Been wanting to try out the Makita line. Would be cool (and very useful) to win this impact drill.

[@apersig]

Glad I found your channel! That Makita impact would be an awesome addition to my collection.

[@Dont_buy_lefty_lies]

I could definitely use that impact driver. I'm a veteran starting up a handyman service to help mainly lower income people. So any help is awesome.

[@Buck2901]

I'm a starting handyman and it seems that when people call me, half the tasks they want done I cannot do. I just end up making an excuse to not take the job at all, to not look like an amateur. What would you do?

[@mnight207]

I had that problem when I started. You can either have a connection who does know how to do it and make a cut of the money or state what you do know how to do when you advertise which is what I did. Also, don’t be afraid to work with a guy for free to learn new stuff

[@mnight207]

Find a person who is willing to train. Sometimes you’ll have to work with no pay, but you knowledge you gain is invaluable

[@AR-ob9nv]

Coming up on 2k subscribers is a big thing..... Good for you... I could always use a good Makita impact driver. My dad has always talked highly of them as far back as I can remember and still uses all his makitas from back in the day.

[@alexramirez5562]

Hey brother thanks for your video I really appreciate it I had a question do you need a license to start up?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Short answer is no, long answer is..it depends on what you wantto do and charge for.

[@alexramirez5562]

@@RenovationsandRepair minor plumbing repairs and installation once I'm licensed can I advertise myself? And what license would that be just a general handyman license from the city? Thanks for your response I appreciate your advice

[@jeanalexandre1105]

If you have a tight budget Harbor Freight tools.

[@DakotaBurgener]

New subscriber. Great video and a good list of tools. Ive never had a quality impact. I do alot of work on houses and this would definitely make a difference.

[@GotWire]

Would love to have that tool could deff use it at work installing dishes. My porter cable is on its last leg. And greate video man by the way

[@rogerd1872]

Good video. I’m just starting out myself and could use that Makita.

[@capadelona]

I really wants to be a handyman any suggestions should I take some classes?????

[@RenovationsandRepair]

learn from someone who is doing the work you want to do. shadow him/her. Practice on your own place with repairs if you can. Start by offering only what you are comfortable doing.

[@scottellis9630]

Nice job on the video. You have covered a great deal..

[@MC-ph7gr]

Hello I want to start a carrier as a handyman. I want to get some experience before I apply for jobs because everybody wants experienced workers. How can I do this? Should I go to school? If yes, do you know any school in Miami, if not anywhere in the US? Thx

[@jfrostcvl5]

I just ordered the Milwaukee genn 3 hammer drill, how do you like yours?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

It is amazing. Very powerful. Well worth the money.
