So true, when I was 11-12 I was ‘playing’ with a sandblaster etc. My mom got slightly annoyed with my dad 😁 nowadays you would lose custody 🙃 I’m teaching my son how to work with tools too. He is 11 now, I showed him how to use a drill I think it’s time for the jigsaw as that is relatively safe.

As someone that treats Ryobi tools like contractor tools there is three things I can say: 1. Vince is spot on with the bit tip. Good bits will make it easier and help your tools last longer. (ie Milwaukee recipe blades) 2. They will hold up if you don't completely abuse them. 3. When you realize their limits it's time to upgrade. When you realize limits weekly refer back to number 2. 50 elevated planter boxes last year and 62 deer stands all on a Ryobi 9pc cordless and a mixing 10" miter saw.

[@Lucas_sGarage]

Tell me, how it's been holding up since this comment? I own a Ryobi p213, and it's around 5 years old, it's plenty for me, but it's getting old and the play on the chuck has gone insane, so Time to upgrade, maybe i will go with a Makita combo or a DeWalt atomic... Idk

[@mreconomist1402]

I dig your explanation of the logic behind your list. That’s why i stay subscribed

[@johnshader4287]

The safety stuff probably could have gone together with the addition of safety shoes/boots. A decent tool belt would have been another good addition. When I first started I was forevermore forgetting where I laid tools down. A 90-degree square and maybe five in one painter's tool. By the way. I very much agree with your drill and bit assessment. I would take that M-12 Over the RYOBI any day of the week. Not crapping on RYOBI at all. They certainly have a place in the tool industry. Great channel. I subscribed.

Great list! I’d also like to see your top ten power tools for remodeling/general construction

[@keldon_champion]

The first 4 items on this list are 4 that 75% of professionals don't use even though they know they should, especaily the safety glasses and the gloves. I also have a lot of buddies that love ryobi power tools and my experaince is they are the best bang for your buck and I have quite a few of their tools for my home use, on my service van it is all milwalkee powertools.

[@josephmalinowski6817]

I carry in my truck a husky bag and with inside that bag I have a Milwaukee hard hat to Milwaukee headlamps a pair of tinted and a pair of clear safety glasses I have two different types of ear protection and then I have Milwaukee dust mask all in this one bag and my safety glasses are in a case to protect them from being scratched even though they are not expensive that point is just to keep them clean and scratch free also forgot a arrangement of safety gloves so depending on the job I have the gloves to protect my hands

[@VictorLopez-vc6cf]

In keeping with the safety theme, I would include some type of hearing protection. As we all know, using certain tools can very noisy and can ultimately damage hearing

[@bartfoster1311]

One item on this list could honestly just be a safety kit; gloves, glasses, mask and hearing protection.

[@aradubyah2213]

🛠️ Probally should have hit them with the sets (Screwdriver, Wrench, Pliers, Vice grips), usually about $15.00 - $19.00. One hand tool usually start about $5.99

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

#11, buy made in America when you can.

[@lordrichard8184]

Harbor freight is great for entry level diy tools. You can get a steel necked hammer for like $7/$8. Good list. I would have lumped all the ppe into one group. Get a tape measure that has good stand out. The farther the better. Because you don’t always need a 2nd person or you can point to something like 13’ away and everyone knows what you’re talking about. I’d add a 5 in 1 painters tools. A drill and a circular saw.

[@kosminuskosminus6668]

Daaammmmmm man number 4 on the list 7 months past this video is mission impossible do get into the great modern plague named the coronavirus pandemic ...... you may wanna do a video how to replace this number 4 item ..... sad how the times changed in the last 7 months from this video was made ....

[@donwilburn2470]

The bit driver part ain't no joke. I've got a small wood shop and I started out with some ryobi bits.... a month later I started investing in shockwave bits. Makes a huge difference

Even at double the price, bit drivers are cheap enough to go with top end ones as opposed to cheaper bits. I have 12+ Ryobi tools now but I never once considered their bit sets. Something ain’t right when they can sell me a 195 piece bit kit for the same price Milwaukee and DeWalt charges for a 30-40 piece bit kit.

[@Skwish6952]

I was literally at a friend's house last weekend to help him hang curtains, and I told him almost everything you said. He had a Ryobi drill and driver set, and Ryobi bits, and he asked if he got a Milwaukee M12 or Bosch 18v set like I have would that help, and I told him just what you said. I said, "No, but throw away those bits and go get a Milwaukee or Bosch bit set, and it'll make the world of difference." I would add to the list a square, you can usually find them in a kit with a level. I honestly think most of my squares I have I got with a level, it was probably the reason I went with that level.

Also having a better dust mask well allow air to get in and out better witch will stop your safety glasses from fogging up also with some of these DIY TV shows just look at their hands sometimes and you'll notice I've caught this a couple of times where the guy doing the talkin had a wedding ring on and then they would switch over to show him doing construction work and the guy was cutting wood installing stuff and did not have a wedding ring on and then when I click back to the guy talkin again he had a wedding ring on so to me that means they had somebody else doing the work

I've had a lot of hand tools for years, plus drill and sander. Only got full safety PPE including knee pads once I bought my cordless chainsaw, then circular and others. Mom had to have one and I made her get full PPE then taught her how to use it. She's 82 and loves her chainsaw! Lol. There's a bunch more hand tools that can be used by homeowners, and a few more basic power tools are circ saw, jig saw, recip saw (great for small limbs and roots too), sander, and oscillating tool. Heck I've gone beyond that and needed a plumbing tool kit with torch and all that for copper water lines. Working on electrical tool kit now.

[@jukio02]

My list: drill, level, headlamp, wrench/wrenches, duct tape, stud finder, hammer(straight claw that acts as a pry bar as well), extension cord, carpenter square, power multi tool(is multi use, can cut anything and sand anything), glue, assorted nails/screws, clamps, measuring tape, metal filer, utility knife, multi use oil, step stool, scissors, screwdrivers, ratchet, plunger, pliers(small and large with wire cutters), allen wrench/hex keys, safety goggles, mask, work gloves, chisel(morakniv), 5 gallon tool box bucket. Those are basics, I think.

[@YoPhocFays]

Out of all the screw drivers I've bought and tried, the cheap four bit screwdriver is the one I put in my pocket and use 90% of the time. Its light, quick and easy.

[@RainCastle7]

Since your including kits, I would refine this list for people who are DIYers looking for what they need and are just starting out, this will be more then 10 tools, but its more like 10 categories. In no particular order: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) gloves, glasses/face shield, mask, earplugs and knee pads (don't underestimate knee pads, even dollar store knee pads are good and it doesn't matter how good your knee's are) 2. Hammer with a straight back claw as shown in the video. 3. Drill and a decent bit set to go with, I will add, that buying a magnetic quick release adapter and 1 high quality #8 Robertson (most common in my experience) would be worthwhile investments. The Ryobi in the video is a hammer drill, drill and screw driver with adjustable clutch, great tool and more then enough for a DIY guy, contractor grade is not required unless you have money to burn. 4. 2' Level, perfect for 99% of your work. 5. Measuring tape, buy 1 quality tape, check at the store to ensure the first 1 inch is accurate, too avoid hassle never use more then 1 tape on a project. 6. Wrench/plier set. I would buy a average quality ratchet wrench set, 1 decent quality adjustable (crescent) wrench and 1 pair of pliers similar to what he showed in the video, though I would recommend to splurge, grab a pair of Knipex cobra's, they are easily my most used pliers I own, my preference is the 7" and for all the hell I've put them through I've done little to no damage to the teeth. 7. Screw Driver set. Doesn't have to be fancy, but should have slim round shafts around 6-8" long not including handle. these will be for getting into tight spaces that your drill bits can't go. 8. Saw. 1 small hand saw and I would recommend a circular saw. Home reno's often require lumber which requires cutting, circular saw has plenty of blade options to meet your needs. 9. Stud Finder. while there is many ways to locate a beam without it, this just makes life easier and less stressful for hanging everything. 10. Shop Vac. you'll need to clean up, get a wet/dry shopvac that comes with a decently long wide hose and crevice attachment, don't use the house vacuum, reno dust will clog the filters quick and burn them out equally fast. As an additional piece of advice for those just starting out and wanting to get into collecting power tools for home projects and reno's, please don't buy cheap no-name or knock off tools and don't buy into the hype of "contractor grade" tools. Yes, for the MOST part contractor grade tools will have more power, however, you really don't need it 99.95% of the time and if you use a tool for it's intended purpose it will work. There are lots of cheaper options for the DIYer, Rigid, Ryobi, Craftsmen, skil, Kobalt etc. I personally own Ryobi tools, have for a long time and love how far they've expanded their tool lineup for the 18v 0ne+ system, I've used them for professional work, home reno's and DIY projects and have never had a tool fail to do what I needed it too or die. I also don't try to drill a 3/4" thick 9' inch long lag bolt into a tree stump with a drill on speed 2 or cut down a tree with a one handed recip saw, know the limits of what your buying for the work to be done. I still have all the original old blue Ryobi tools and use them to this day along with many of the new tools they've been releasing over the years and since everything takes the exact same battery, no tool becomes obsolete.

[@andrewsalazar98]

TAPE MEASURERS!!! The Home Depot has a 4th of July sale for their Stanley Fatmax Classic which is commonly known as the best tape measure. They’re having a BOGO free deal for $20 you can get 2 of them. I bought several because you can never have too many!

[@HerrenGamingNews]

I think you should've included the installer Drill Driver kit! I already own an impact and a drill because of my trade but what if you're not a Carpenter? The Installer Drill Driver has an Impact head, 3/8 chuck (should've been 1/2), off set drill and 90 degree replacing 2 tools anf attachments is a sweet deal especially if money and space are a factor.

[@Zombieboxx1]

How about a Tool Test Raw M12 fuel drill or impact vs Ryobi or DYI tool 18 volt drill or impact?

[@KlockoFett]

You're absolutely more likely to hurt yourself with a dull knife over a sharp one. From kitchen experience, you have to exert a lot more force with a dull knife to cut the same thing a sharp knife can cut with less force. When you have to press harder, you increase your chances of the knife slipping, and Murphys Law says it will slip towards your holding hand 100% of the time. A sharp knife just starts cutting and now it's embedded it whatever material and can't slip anywhere. Sure, accidents can still happen. They're just less likely and probably will happen from mishandling...also never leave a sharp knife lying in a sink full of water or loose in a drawer. That's where they're at their most dangerous.

[@michaelfinley9988]

My dad always told me, never buy cheap tools or cheap shoes. I still live by his advice. Many times you end up replacing that cheap tool in the long run. I buy made in America , European or Japanese whenever possible….I try not to buy anything Chinese wherever possible….usually junk. I can pass down my good tools to my kids. It’s an investment.

[@alessandroverde941]

A dull knife is dangerous for 3 reason. 1 Repeating 2 Annoying 3 Stressing Repeting, a dull knife need more time/pass for do the cut, putting up the probability of error and cut the user. Be annoyed from the extra repetition the user pull down the guard/attention pushing even further the probability to slip and cut. Because Annoying the repetition the user will put extra strength or velocity, stressing the situation and materials (more dulling or going true the material and boom bleeding)

[@montanawhite5699]

I don’t believe in gloves, if you don’t use gloves long enough your hands will become almost as strong as gloves. I’d say about 60% of splinters I get I don’t feel because they are just stuck in my thick skin. Only thing is my hands look pretty nasty, cracks all over, they are super rough and my wife doesn’t like when I touch her. And I lost sensitivity for feeling some textures. Also I found out today micro fiber rags stick to my hands, make me feel like spider man. I love it tho, I can’t stand soft hands.

[@austinlyon69]

You were close on the knife part lol. If you accidentally cut yourself with a dull blade from let’s say a pocket knife, compared a fresh utility knife blade, the more dull pocket knife can actually do more damage to your skin, artery’s veins etc and if the cut was severe it could make it harder for the doc or surgeon to repair damaged tissue compared to a clean cut from a utility blade

My girlfriend bought some ryobi drill bits and spade bits and not a single one of them was straight. They all wobbled in her drill. I wondered if her new makita drill was faulty so i tested her ryobi bits in my dewalt drill and tested my dewalt bits in her drill. It wasn't the drill. The ryobi bits were just trash and wobbled all over the place in both our drills. The bit case was also crap. The bits were really difficult to remove and the holder keeps coming out of the case cause it doesn't snap in well. Not a good first impression of ryobi

[@BryanBowenArchangelBarachiel]

The only think you might want to know too is with gloves their the cut levels. If you are going to get a lot of nail or screws out of a tool pouch you will probably want cut level 3 so you are not replacing your gloves fast. I think dewalt has a pair. I seen the milwaukee first and they are lasting longer then the thin leather gloves they have now though they state heavy work gloves. The impact gloves are good for hammering, moving wheelbarrow, impact drill, chainsaw, etc. If you can only get one the impact gloves is a good start though both is better. Vince has a video on them too.

[@Atum_Ra]

my safety glasses are one of the most expensive tools in my kit. thats the life of someone who has to wear glasses and contacts don't work for. i think they cost me 450$, but i'm for sure shopping around before getting another pair. not many eye places sell prescription safety glasses here though

[@idunno500]

Dull Knifes cause more cuts and accidents because you have to use more force with a dull blade than you do with a sharp one , and if you do slip by accident and your fingers ( any part ) are in the way, it will absorb all that extra force being used by a dull blade. No scientific explanation needed, just common sense.

[@JK-jl1bf]

Here’s an interesting story having to do with not wearing gloves doing different tasks at home and injuring your hands but you know who thinks about this when they’re putting steel wire shelving storage units together right? I wasn’t but sometimes I end up getting blood blisters putting these things together while putting a shelf on the poles. It might be silly to some but I think to prevent that I might get a pair of utility gloves to protect my hands next time. Thanks.
