[@leifsimmons2464]

Are you not considering everyday items, such as forks, spoons, etc as tools?

[@nunyubiznezz]

Wranglerstar There's one tool missing from your 50 . . . *this* *channel!*

[@ScottSmith-fe6vr]

im very happy this title doesnt say "50 tools *a man* needs" to survive life"

[@JTrak86]

I'd switch the Klein 11 and 1 out for the Wiha 26 in 1 Screwdriver.

[@jasonweishaupt1828]

We need a 6 year update!

[@oldpackfan]

Cody I would only change one of those tools and that is, I would get a painters 5 in 1 tool instead of a putty knife. You can do every thing a putty knife can plus a lot more. I would also say the jig saw should be variable speed and also have an oscillating cut option.

[@TheRedNeckConnection]

Russel Brown I agree

[@justin4251]

Russel Brown I agree I love my painters putty knife. It has come in handy for multiple projects for me

[@Disposable9010]

Plus one. Also. For the screw driver. I have used a Klein 10-1 for 10 years as my main go to. Great tool for the price. So if budget allows. It's worth it

[@davidmarzolino7159]

Russel Brown. Good choice, I've probably performed at least 20 different tasks with my 5 in 1 painters tools. I carefully sharpened the long side to make it even more useful.

When I was a kid, working in an upholstery shop, one of my jobs was to remove the existing fabric from the frame of chairs, sofas, etc. The most indispensable tool to use for removing upholstery staples was a pair of side cutters. Gently grab the head of the staple and roll the side cutter on its side and the staple pulls right out, smoothly and almost effortlessly. I've never forgotten that tool and the usefulness for a job that it arguably was not designed for. Steve

[@davidmarzolino7159]

stuff I used to work in an upholstery shop myself. You're right, I've pulled many a staple that way also.

[@SolLignum]

I've recently pulled out an inch long nail out of the wooden plank with those. "Well, they're kinda like a crowbar" - i thought, then **crack** job's done :)

[@kearneyfamilylondon68]

[@desolatetree]

As an electrician I may be a little biased, but a pair of linesman pliers are an absolute must.

[@williamlewis3965]

linemans and 440 channellocks they are good for electrical work and plumbing those slip joint pliers useless

[@samcarroll7451]

Klien lineman pliars and dykes channel lock brand 440 adjustible pliars are as good as it gets in my opinion

[@twoonthewall]

A 5' crowbar, clawhammer, boltcutters, phase tester, handsaw , shovel and spade, lump hammer, plane, spokeshave, a good tool box, calking gun, a funnel, just some others I use all the time 😊

[@patrickdoherty8063]

I'm a tool guy and don't own a large pair of side cuts. I have a small pair for electrical work and a specialized flush cut version for trimming pin nails in trim. I think linesman pliers are more versatile and except for really tight places give most of the functionality of sidecuts. A huge improvement over pliers are the Knipex cobra series, with the 10" my go to tool. The features are far superior to regular pliers and channel locks, but aren't apparent until you use them. The most important is that the geometry doesn't fight you. The harder you twist the harder they bite. Your hand isn't forced open by the torque. They are thin and very strong. Fine teeth. One hand push button adjustment. Parallel jaws with recesses for a firm bite on hexes. My favorite pliers. You won't be disappointed. .

[@mikecostigan9913]

I was a young man walking with my father and we were tool shopping. We were almost to the power tool section and we were talking about brands. I called the Porter Cable brand the Porter Wagner and he started to laugh hard. I pulled a Norm Crosby bit without thinking. He died years ago and it's silly, but it is one of my fond memories of my father. We always had good laughs together.

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

I have been waiting for this video. My father is no longer with us and in the time we had together we never discussed what makes up an essential tool kit. Thank you very much Cody.

[@LucefieD]

Dudes gonna make an absolute killing on the affiliate links in these videos, especially with black friday deals.Tactical.

[@vaccardi]

Great concept for a series! I think all the choices so far are great. Maybe a painters 5 in 1 scraper instead of a putty knife. I could see a need for both. Thanks as always for the great content!

[@JaketheJOATGOAT]

I have one of those screwdrivers but it is 5/16 nut driver on one side and 1/4 nut driver on the other side. Works great I agree completely

[@Mrgunsngear]

great video

[@Mrbfgray]

My grandparents and dad as a kid bought army barracks, took them apart and hauled for a few hrs and built a nice lakeside resort with 8 cabins.

[@JoryValley]

You may mention channel lock pliers in a future video, but if you haven't tried the knipex brand cobra channel lock pliers get a pair. Game changer for sure. I haven't found a better gripping pair of pliers yet. If I had to limit a tool kit for weight or some other reason those could take the place of vise grips, regular pliers, and even pipe wrenches. I've used them to remove oil filters, fit pipe, and even used them to remove a stuck spindle nut when I didn't have the proper socket available. I was able to put my hands under the fender and push on the pliers with my foot. Since they self lock once there is tension on them you don't need to squeeze the handles to maintain grip.

[@MichaelSDoran]

This really is so helpful to me. I have been planning on getting a new set of drill bits but wasn't really sure how many or what sizes. Now I know what would make good sense for my situation. Thanks Cody!

[@Slayerwr77]

I’m enjoying these videos to grow my education with tools. This is quite the series to start to rack in the amazon affiliate revenue as well!

[@mattmoore1311]

My Granddad put a basement in his house the same way. When I was a young teen, my dad, uncle, and I helped him finish digging out the last part, and poured a slab floor. Your story reminded me of that. I remember him handling his miner's pick with casual familiarity, as much as he was able to work by then. I suspect my uncle still has Grandad's pick, I should call him. I know no one else in the family would have interest in it. I also detest plastic handles, but my "truck" shovel that rides year round in the back of my truck has one. I live near Astoria, it rains here, if you hadn't heard, lol.

[@pansejra]

Cody, this was a great idea for a miniserie! I've been enjoying it very much, thank you! I would have a suggestion for a miniserie, if you wanted to hear my opinion. How about something like "God, family and homestead"? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on being a Christian and taking care of your homestead, making decisions, raising children and so on. I have been reading your book and I've been enjoying reading your thoughts on our Lord. My wife and I are thinking about moving to a house in the near future, so we have a place to bring children to, and your opinions on this subject are very important to me. So I've thought that maybe Mrs.W and you could make a couple videos and talk about most important things to consider and keep in mind, when being a Christian on a homestead and having children. Thank you for reading this message. Have a great day and may our Lord bless you and your family.

Funny..I could talk about this stuff all day. You got me with the chalk box, I wouldn't have thought of that one, even though mine is older than I am and I've used it on nearly every large project I've worked on. I might differ in some specifics, a 10 or 12 inch crescent would be my preference, and I have switched to the Klein long reach 6 in 1 screwdriver (the longer shanks I have found more useful). Of course, you could ask 20 men and get 20 different responses. Thanks for the interesting vid, looking forward to the rest!

[@jsmith5443]

I have Craftsman locking pliers, and they are great! They have a longer piece of metal that sticks out past the handles, so getting them open is much easier.

[@corycg9624]

Locking pliers are my favorite hand tool

[@firestorm8471]

My first tool, I was born with... Second is my 1911A1 .45 ACP.. Third is a Buck 110 Folder.. Fourth is a Hammer Hatchet . Fiffth is my Truck.. Sixth is a medium set of vice grips pliers. Seventh is a hand saw that was Father's and Grandfather's.. Eigth is my FN49 rifle that was my Fathers.. Ninth is a medium Crescent Wrench. Tenth is a Leatherman Surge multi tool...

[@808jpm]

The Klein 10-in-1, now 11-in-1 are so good. I had my work buy everyone one and I've given them as gifts to many many friends.

[@jimhutton2390]

I like them alot too, but the sleeve that holds 1/4 in bits didn't hold up well as an extension when chucked up in a drill. I would like the slotted bit to be separate from the philips bit, having them mixed is often frustrating.

[@AlexLaw_Qld]

Putty knives are also a wonderful smooth steel slide. lifting/setting sliding glass doors, moving industrial tools or engine components or stone blocks, your tool kit has a perfect smooth surface to slide on that will hold a surprising amount of weight. Oh, and take a workshop on how to putty with them, or watch some youtube videos and practice. Wooden frame glazing, door & window trim, not to mention other materials that are worked in a putty like state like epoxy putty, gummy sealants, patching plaster, caulking walls or boats, working auto body filler.The skills are very transferable.

[@TheMikeRybak]

Really dig this concept. Can't beat good hand tools

[@nomadr1349]

Looking at it today I would urgently advice to replace crescent wrench with one Knipex pliers wrench - opens wider with smaller size, does all the same more convenient and more. I ditched about 3 kilograms of wrenches for just one Knipex pliers wrench in my work toolbox.

[@titohaffkok7588]

Totally agree and I'm glad to see someone said something about this tool, because I was going to. I have 3 sizes and made sure my family has them as well. I'll never use/buy a crescent wrench again.

[@jackkirkpatrick2849]

Excellent choices ! I'm praying for you and yours

[@Kevinb1821]

What my grandpa did and my dad did which I’m doing now is besides your essential tools they would buy tools as they needed them for projects or working on cars. Buying tools little at at time for decades and now my dad has a garage full of every tool you could ever imagine. You don’t need every tool right away. It takes a lifetime to collect tools.

[@TheNytehunter]

The tools I always have on my belt are: Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver, Leatherman Wave with the bit kit, side cutter, 18-10 awg wire strippers, a panel screw driver(insulated), a terminal screwdriver(insulated), folding utility knife, a straight blade folding knife, 8” crescent, small slip groove interlocking plyers, and a pouch containing a set of hone stones. I use these tools on a daily basis and that covers a huge variety of situations.

[@jmorrow6913]

Cody as your tongue tried to do 😀 I would include a 10 pound or so maul not a sledgehammer. Also for use on church mission trip projects I built a table for my jig saw, make it kind of like a band saw. It clamps to the tail board of my pickup.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Cody, I have been getting rid of all my coded tools, I was fed up with every time I wanted something the cord would be tangled with all sorts of other tools, so I bit the bullet and cut off all the cords. I bought twenty good quality three pin connectors and put the mail connection onto all my tools. I then bought a fifty-foot reel of good quality flexible three cord wire and made several extensions ten feet, fifteen feet, and twenty-five feet extension and I have never looked back, I got the idea from Festool and it is so much easier to keep tools that do not have long cords on them and I use less room storing them as well.

[@stevenochoa9904]

[@kindellh7495]

50 Tools You Need To Survive Life | 1 - 10 thanks for the video Cody. Gods' Blessings to all...

[@Bsh-pt6xh]

Great set of tools. For the screwdriver I’d choose a Klein 11-1, has Phillips, flat, torx, and square drives. I’d also get an adjustable spud wrench, can use it as a punch, align holes, and a pry bar if need be. Keep up the good work and stay safe

[@handmade3681]

My top ten would be. 1. My pocket knife, super useful, can’t do without. 2. My welder. 3. My grinder, for shaping metal. 4. My sharpening kit. 5. Speed square. 6. My hatchet. 7. My folding saw. 8. My truck, need that. 9. My drafting tools for making blueprints. 10. My cell phone, use it every day, need it for work. With my welding gear I can make most of the other tools I could need, to exclude screw divers and such. If I was told I could only have 10 tools and never make or trade for more, the list would be different.

[@triplee3296]

Only disagree with the size of the Crescent. I'd go with a 10". To each their own, definitely enjoy watching and getting your insight and reinforcement of my knowledge of tools.

Old School, but yet so 😎.. Made In the 🇺🇸... An honest memo book worth fillin’up with GOOD INFORMATION. As always. Great list.... Looking forward to part #2

I am taking notes of what I should purchase :) As many as I do have already.... I miss vicegrip, not mentioning I havent purchase a good jigsaw yet. It is time to have a shop run!

[@AlexLaw_Qld]

To get a bonus tool from your sledge hammer, go for one with a splitting maul head back to back with a basic slegde head. Bit of a compromise, but can also be used as a cutting edge for softer/lower temperature alloys when smithing.

Very thankful that I inherited so many tools from my dad. I think I'll probably have at least half of these 50.

[@GothicVash123]

lathe, mill, grinder, bandsaw, oxy acetyl torch, and welder are way high up on my list of needed tools.

[@torjones1701]

That is a very interesting challenge! I just had to pause and go build my list to see what I came up with and how much we over lap! :) Side cutters, screwdrivers, vice grip, drill bits, crescent wrench, pliers, jig saw, all yes, so 70% match so far... I get why you chose a sledge type hammer, but I prefer a rock drill and wedges. sure, it's slow, but I can do a whole lot more than just break those rocks up, and if you've got a forge setup, they're really rather easy to make. The reason I didn't chose the chalk box/plumb bob is because they are such simple things to make, with the right tools of course! :) That's the same reason I didn't choose a putty knife either, way too easy to use a wood shingle shaved down to give the flex that you're looking for. (tools implies the ability to build things with them, which implies the ability to make other tools) Given that you've got drill bits, I'm guessing that there's going to be a drill somewhere on the list later on... Thanks for sharing this, it's a fun one!

[@stevenkwiatkowski9937]

WOW....WRANGLE STAR!!!!!...love this vid....great idea...as soon as i saw the title i got mad,,,serious...cause i use tools everyday,,,,and was waiting what to see.....after watching i agree 100%

[@charleslane2735]

one quick thing I want to note is that when it comes to jigsaws corded is nice because you don't have to worry the battery not being fully charged,however that's literally the only benefit vs cordless,if you take into consideration that with a cordless jigsaw you can use it both indoors and outdoors because you don't have to worry about plugging it and you don't have worry about tripping over the cord and you don't have to worry about how long f an extension cord to reach your work area unless you have a receptacle nearby,however the problem with cordless is that some brands aren't very precise with their cutting so I can totally relate to why you use corded,another downside to cordless is that they're always more expensive than corded regardless of what brand you want,but those are just my opinion's on my own personal experience with jigsaws and I thought I'd share.

[@magicrobharv]

Klein makes a tool that is the 4 in 1 screwdriver, but also includes the bits for punching down phone and ethernet cable. For the work I do (telecom), that's an insanely valuable tool.

Vice Grips aren't as good as they used to be and they are no longer made in the USA. Now when I look for locking pliers, I like the Milwaukees over modern Vice Grips though neither are bad. If I can spend more, Grip on and Proto make great locking pliers. If I remember correctly Snap On rebrands Grip On's locking pliers.

This is a great video. Nice to see someone that is so knowledgeable and has so much experience. I don't know why I didn't subscribe when I bought a TSProf as per your recommendation. Subscribed now, though. I don't know much about tools. I know a lot about knives and hand woodworking tools like axes, adzes and chisels, but I don't know much about general tools. Thanks for the video.

You could never go wrong with Vice Grips. The originals were made here in Nebraska in Dewitt, will be stamped on the side of the vice grip. There were made here and the name had also changed to American Tool, until they shut the plant down and moved production to China in 2008. Something like 330 people lost their jobs and really hurt the town of Dewitt, then eventually was bought out by Malco. Still very good tool, most now have wire cutters built into them and there are different models from Vice Grip C clamps and even chain strap wrenches.

I'm a Ryobi fan but I also am a new homeowner not a contractor. I've used a Makita drill and it definitely has more torque than Ryobi and is built beefier but for my purpose I can make my budget go a lot further buying Ryobi and they work just fine. Zero issues thus far and I know others who agree that have used other types of tools. Definitely on most things corded go with the better quality, it's not going to be that much more expensive. On cordless I'm going to stick with Ryobi for awhile.

i would say on the pliers make sure they have the cutters at the bottom very useful in a pinch to cut wire or whatnot

this is a great idea. i love you explaining the reason behind the choices also, not that i expected any different from you.

[@captainobvious1721]

Great video. Love the series idea.

Awesome video. Out of the first 10 I have 10 out of 10. I can't wait for the rest of the list so I have an excuse to buy so more tools.

[@tatunjld]

Respectable first 10. Sounds like you put a good bit of thought into these choices. I liked your explanations, especially for the sledge.
