So cool to see such a young and diverse crew!

[@davidavi8554]

Great to see young fine men carrying on the trades of skilled labors and willing to put in hard work for their incomes. I started out as a residential painter in construction at age 19 and worked for 24 years till I got tired of the B.S. Our painting crew were very young as well, whereas masonries , carpenters, framers, concrete flatworkers, roofers, electrciains, sheetrockers, wood floor installers, , so much to name, were diversed in age , but those young guys had to learn from the old guys the tricks of the trades somehow.

[@NTY298]

Cool to see young people picking up the trades. Keep on keeping on.

[@shaneodonnell2575]

Jarod, I loved the POV layout loadup, was a super cool addition to this style of video! Badgers are awesome, definitely will never regret my setup

[@omarrodriguez8938]

Appreciate all the content you posting bro 🙏

[@williamo1980]

You guys are so young and I love the setups. I’m a journeyman carpenter over in California and I mainly do commercial ceiling installs, acoustic solutions and wood ceilings. I just ordered or am in the process of ordering (already exchanged emails with Joel) a ceiling guy specific Badger Belts rig.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

That sounds sick! Joel is a great guy, looking forward to getting more from him in the future!

[@morrisroberts1805]

I’m gonna have to use the block for the tape measure. That’s the most annoying thing about my current diamondback setup

[@danielandfrancineturner669]

20 year residential production framer here, I think Tyrel has the best chalk line!

[@MillennialCarpenter]

Ayyyyy let's go!

[@maxochavez5854]

Sick! Much love from Vegas!

[@nicobelisle5412]

I like to load up with just the tools I need for the immediate task at hand to keep my bags as light as possible, with my tool chest or trailer near by with what I'll need that day.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I agree! And surprisingly, everything I keep in my bags I use several times every day

[@cernunnoskali]

The more you know, the less you carry. Keep a small tote bag nearby with the other tools you aren't using at the moment.

[@tomforward990]

Had several DB setups now running a Badger and it’s so much nicer all around

[@dansixsix307]

awesome vid, great set ups!

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Thanks for watching Dan!

[@knackleslapp8593]

Dang so all y’all is basically rocking the Martinez hammer. Gotta love it. I need buy one.

[@DakkaDakkaDakkaWaagh]

Awesome video guys, big ups from NZ, at some point ill switch from my DB to badger

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Highly recommend it!

[@framnerdan]

What a crew!

[@AndrePereira-vs8bc]

Unreal video boys

[@Jack-wf9kg]

When you said you met him at JLC it sounded like “Jail see” I was like woah, that escalated quickly. Just ordered my diamond back set up, running buckaroo currently, very bulky and catches on a lot. 🇦🇺

[@Coffmanconstruction]

That’s right 😂 met while doing time

[@DixieNormous1]

I have a set of badgers I bought about a month ago, I really like them. Have a couple of sets of occidental adjust to fit and had a couple of sets before that I sold on eBay..

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Badgers are where it’s at now!!

[@bongboyz6468]

Very inspirational

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Happy to hear it!

[@markdeboi7853]

I got rid of my tool belt set up and bought a Saratoga tool vest with the molly system .best decision I ever made . no more back problems way more comfortable .

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Do you ever have issues with it being hot? Or tools falling out when you lean forward?

[@markdeboi7853]

No its made of a durable military mesh so I don't have issues of being too hot .

[@kevinparmelee5609]

Awesome dude

[@Snowboarder277]

Bad ass setups guys!!! tape on the right is where its at

[@MillennialCarpenter]

I don't know how you guys do it. Left side strong side

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Back in the day I was actually on the left side… then when I got my occies I just used the tape pocket and now I can’t switch back 😭

[@dp1381]

I prefer tape on the left since I mark with my right hand.

[@dylanforbes6430]

Sheeesh call these guys the knack boxes

[@codyfrancis4474]

Stabile makes a holster for that torpedo that I use on my back right side. Works great

[@ChuckLine]

What's the name of Landon's razor knife? I've looked and didn't find one similar, i love the small size and color

[@wnybricky1559]

I glued in a small piece of PVC into the back loop of the diamondbacks to hold a cats paw better…

[@lordcopperrunz2136]

i like the backaroos they dont hang low like others do. cool set up tho

[@bri_guy508]

How do the cresent squares hold up? Do yall have any issues with the extension getting tweeked out of square? My badger belt is coming today, stoked to loose the weight of my leather occidental bags!

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Badgers are awesome! Tell them you know coffman 🤘🏼 they hold up Good enough, anytime you need something bigger you’re not using it anyways!

6:36 What work boots is Landon wearing here? They look so comfortable!

[@Andy.Fujimoto]

Tape measure needs to be on the left side.

[@santi73k]

Why?

[@Andy.Fujimoto]

@@santi73k r u left handed?

[@demonfire691]

@@santi73k it's an efficiency thing. You have the tape measure on your non dominant side and your pencil on your dominant side so you don't have to switch hands on anything when marking lines.

[@dp1381]

Seems obvious to me if you hold the pencil in your right hand. Speed square also goes on non-dominant side for the same reason.

[@LARULES100]

What if I'm ambidextrous?

[@dustinbone4942]

Folding square? Seems interesting but I wonder if it stays square after falling off somewhere high?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

That’s a good question, it hasn’t happened yet

[@slver2000NONO]

How long did you take to easily slide the stiletto hammer into the hammer sleeve? It is so hard to get in and out.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I wrapped electrical tape on the end of the handle and that helped a ton!

[@cesarmaldonado1864]

How do your hips feel? Not to much weight? Do they make suspenders for the belts?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Yes they do! My hips feel the best of any brand so far without suspenders, but when I do use suspenders I use stretchy pants suspenders, and they are the PERFECT solution!

[@zephyr1408]

Question? I removed all tools from my belt and w/o naming a ballistic belt! Guess what they were both very light however my belt was a slight bit heavier by that I mean 2 pounds? I am a finish carpenter (contractor I Sub out to a GC). I own a very expensive set of Akribis Leathers with a solid place for everything! The leathers are molded to your body on a sewing horse the Owner uses (Luke) and he calls you when u order a custom belt! I am older than you guy by min and owned all the belts. I wore most out which kind of looked like the ones you gave away? The badger buckle system is nice but wait until you see the one Akribis uses! 2nd to none and comes from the military SF jump system. I absolutely love the way leather smells and ages! Badgers and DB remind me of well ? Cloth? But they R light! Until you put tools in them! Plus I am not a small guy ? Under 6’ and 2 bills so the little bit of weight does not bother me! But I hv to say mine does not come in orange? Hey I am busting your arm u guys are great and I love the video plus u guys are hard working men! Very hard working!

[@ryguy898]

how often are you drinking water where you need to carry it on your person? Do you have a pouch for your lunch as well? Otherwise great tips.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

😂😂😂

[@alberthanna]

Good crew

[@Coffmanconstruction]

We’re lucky for sure!

[@AimlessQuotes]

Fatmax, Martinez m1, johnson square, 9" catspaw, kesson box, and a knife, I ditch my snips and pliers for roof day. Maybe one day I'll drag a coil nailer through the trusses, but for now stick nails hold most my bags real estate.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

That’s a killer setup!!

[@AimlessQuotes]

I was an o lineman in college 🤣 I can stand some exteriors on my own but I lose a lot of shit squeezing through studs and trusses. Had a Milwaukee, then a Tajima, but the kesson sits deepest in my bags lmao.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

For sure! My lufkin has been falling out recently… I gotta find a solution for that

[@coryvroom400]

This, plus a beater chisel and air tool. Light and simple. A tool bag near by for everything else. \

[@sergioortega7178]

Can I get more info on the Jarod bags, personal favorite and would like a set.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Yea man! Check out badger toolbelts on Instagram! I have the side-by-side carpenters set with a flatbar sleeve and a nailgun hook 👌

[@christophercrowle9753]

Seem like a nice bunch of guys and gal, little question majority of you have your hammer on your right but tape on your left why's that? Cheers.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

For me I got used to it because that’s how the occidental toolbags came. But now I prefer it, because while putting away my tape with my right hand, my left hand is already grabbing my square to finish the line

[@christophercrowle9753]

@@Coffmanconstruction I understand to each our own mate, I'm in an agreement with Scott from essential craftsman. Tape and square on the left pencil on the right.

[@josebonilla3897]

Any kind of staples will keep the webbing in place?

I used staples we use for sheeting

What brand is the folding speed square?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Crescent

[@Davey768]

All of you have different tape measures, have you checked to see it they read the same? I've found that some tapes measures differently then others..

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I actually haven’t 🤔 granted in framing it wouldn’t be outside of the tolerances

[@ericrollins4607]

What size belt is Jarod wearing on his set?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Size small, check back tomorrow morning too! I’m uploading an updated version of this video

[@jonoliver5143]

how do you like the dewalt tape compared to the ol fatmax?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

It was a good tape! It’s since broken since the video, but now I’m using the lufkin G2 35’ tape

[@jonoliver5143]

@@Coffmanconstruction how is the actual tape on the Lufkin? They seem very thin and I had one for a bit got all crinkled

[@olhesty2196]

alright guys and gal. I am a slim guy that has absolutely no fat on my hips. I do intend on getting a set of suspenders, but looking for a very heavily padded belt first. Unfortunately, most hardware stores carry a scant selection of belts in which to try on and test. I see that that y'all are a slim bunch and would like to know if you know of a belt that really stands out as far as padding, or any hacks to otherwise a good belt. Name brand, color, etc mean nothing to me. This old guy is looking for comfort and durability.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I would go the badger route! Look them up online
