The Tools You Need! with honorable mentions!

Here are the tools I would purchase almost immediately if I was starting over! All of these tools can be hauled around in your small vehicle and a tool trailer is not needed. Milwaukee, Makita, and Dewalt all make up some power tools in this list. Yours do not have to be cordless. They just have to work!

Be aware ! Cheap tools are the most expensive ! Quality tools pay for themselves in time ! They have a good feel , and do the job properly!

[@FastEddy5]

That's not always true by any means. There's no way you can say that with an honest face. By no means buy junk but I would never buy snap-on for instance. Paying $130 for a hammer is just nonsense and if you believe it's not then you're not very smart either.

[@timmyd800]

I buy cheap tools that are made in the same factory as the expensive ones, just less quality control and no branding

[@mirafrenkel7929]

I know this is old, but it’s super helpful! Any chance you could do a similar video sometime on what supplies/hardware/consumables you would keep on hand if you were starting out and didn’t have the luxury of all the trailer space? I know it really depends on what work you’re doing, but running to the store all the time is a huge time sink so hearing your perspective on which things you would keep on hand no matter what would be awesome.

Painting is where a lot of decently low overhead money is for sure. I’m not a fan of painting but I still use about 30 gallons per month probably. Biggest tip there is to get an account setup ASAP with a real paint supplier. Such huge discounts and freebies.

Get leveling feet for the ladder. Best thing I ever bought in laddering.

[@dirtbiker651]

If I could give you two thumbs up I would! I'm just getting into the business and your channel is my most favorite for good practical info. Love the business 101, trailer and tool vids! Really appreciate your time, you ROCK!! Keep it up!

dido

[@commentz-1]

Also, you would need a couple of clamps and a set of all-purpose files/ chisels, as well as a set of Diablo set of quick swap hole saws . You have a great list, but that is what I would add. Thanks for your time and sharing.

[@slayerment]

Great quality tools right there 👍

[@nonamenobody8590]

Working for a contractor is difficult at first learning some of the tool you have never heard off but you catch on after awhile of working

[@micahmebane5649]

Great video 🙂helped me refresh a lot of lost knowledge

[@jorgeelprimo714]

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

Love that Klein toner👍🏻

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Bro..it saves hours of time trying to find those darmn circuits in houses.

[@roddyoccultis4266]

When I am working, I sometimes ask my wife to bring me a screwdriver. I like the taste of orange juice in the morning.

[@danymitehazard]

What dose that mean? Does she know what a screwdriver is?

[@mikel9567]

If you're right handed, get a circular saw with the blade on the left. You will be able to see the blade and your cut much better.

[@mikefu7744]

Awesome video!!!!

[@JuanMartinez-lp1bd]

How about a vacuum?

[@hw2508]

great stuff

[@carlosrealista1234]

Man I loved this video i am a carpenter and do some drywall but want to get to the "Handyman" world and your video helps a bunch. I do have a question, is it hard to have different battery powered tools?? Seems like a bit too much of a hustle with changing and charging. Once again great video my friend, cheers from the Netherlands

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Thanks for the comment! No it’s not a issue at all having multiple battery platforms. It actually helps because no one battery platform has all the cordless tools I need

[@MovingToMnPro]

It's a HUGE PAIN, but as R&R says, no one platform has all the tools. I'm trying to limit myself to 2.5 battery platforms. Makita 18V, and Milwaukee M18 & M12. I still have a few Ridgid as well, so 3.5, but will get battery adapters for anything else and am gradually replacing the Ridgid tools.

[@harleylaughlin2155]

That is a Ron inspired trailer set up right.

[@jonathanoneill5834]

He said this is my only o rigid tool but he had the tool to change Fossetts witch was a riged

[@craigslaunwhite579]

Wow there is so much going on in this vid. I had to watch it a 75% speed to take it all in.

[@chrisgibson5803]

Brill video. Thanks

[@mixedberries4937]

thank you

[@dossip2882]

Should I also get a boat to hold all the money I would make?

[@deejaysyn420]

What brand was the Chinese tool bag

[@darrenwoloshyn]

veto

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

It's a joke. Veto bags are $150 and up lol

[@MD-eo2wy]

no links?

[@alarm1439]

Yes.. Yes you do need a veto!

[@josephalexander3884]

I’m missing the link to the Klein circuit tracer.

[@RenovationsandRepair]

I’ll get it for you.

[@iancampbell582]

Where i am from we stick to our trades. I wouldn't dream of doing painting or carpentry because i am a plumbing and heating engineer so thats what i specialise in. I dont understand why someone would spend 5 years of there life doing an apprenticeship and then start working at other trades. I can think of some negative reasons....

[@NoL0NGERhumAn]

I think this video is more geared towards the handy man type contractor not to specialist or trades men. Handy men, general contractors, or repair men usually do more than one trade to some extent because there is a demand for it and you can make a decent living. Most middle class people that cant do the work them selves on their own homes cant afford the time or money to schedule in five to six contractors for small jobs such as changing a few light bulbs a supply line and hanging a painting.

[@SinisterRubberDuckie]

Nothing wrong with saving thousands of dollars while learning new skills & having the potential to make some bank off it. Thanks to everything i learnt i cpuld literally build a house, only thing stopping me aside from money, is that my countries goverment requires you to do X amount of years in courses & such to be able to get a get permits, licences & insurances regardless if you even know how to use a hammer

[@stringsofair8039]

At a minimum a tradesman should be well enough equipped with tools, knowledge and skills to do the vast majority of house repairs, renovations and gut jobs by themselves. It doesn't make a lot of sense to be a skilled worker in one field then need to hire out labor for everything outside of their wheelhouse. That all comes into play in jobs as well, customers often ask/ want/ need you to do various things.

[@hw2508]

Not where I live. Noone would ask the carpenter to do electrical work. But I do see the field of work for an allrounder. However there is stuff only experts should do.

[@MovingToMnPro]

I've never found a good use for an impact driver that was worth the noise. Great list, but for sure I'd suggest an aluminum body pipe wrench over an iron one to save the weight.

[@jayjayhooksch1]

They make some pretty awesome hydraulic impact drivers now, much quieter. Loud as impacts are, they are far superior for driving over conventional drills. Save time, save stripped screws, save your bits and most importantly save your wrist. I can't imagine using a drill to drive screws in modern times for professional use.

[@ChrisD-kl3ty]

Man oh man.... I've got to tell you! You are missing out if you are driving any type of screw with a drill. The impacts are WAYYYY better at that job. It's like pulling a trailer with an old car or a new f350. Both will move the trailer but the truck is more efficient and easier to use.
