Wranglerstar Love your vids ma dude keep going forward

[@leifsimmons2464]

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

[@bonjourmondure]

Wranglerstar you always talk about your grandad how comes you never talk about your dad?

[@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"

[@nunyubiznezz]

You'll know you have a good quality set when everyone wants to borrow them.

Who is he kidding? His first 10 would all be axes.

I was thinking a plane, even though it makes little sense.

[@joshuanorris5860]

Tim Elmore haha yup. As well as my first 10 xD

[@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

[@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.

[@Papperlapappmaul]

Josh, is your keyboard broken or do you have a different reason for using periods instead of commas?

[@stellarpod]

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]

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@jasonweishaupt1828]

We need a 6 year update!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@adamcroker_hg]

Glad to see how many of these I already have!! This series will be very helpful, though, in building a good set for my son. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Wranglerstar Family!!

[@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 😊

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

[@michaelkane6797]

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!

[@roysnider3456]

I’ve found that a high quality heavy duty all steel scissors will cut everything from paper to thicker plastic even thin sheet metal they are very versatile.

[@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.

[@SandCrabNews]

When I took a maintenance job in a manufacturing plant the 6-in-1 screwdriver in my pocket got a lot of use. It's a good urban survival tool.

[@benjaminruggss7220]

You should use these tools for the entire summer next year

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@lancewaitalot]

"Eldest" I'm guessing is the book. The entire series is my all time favorite.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jackkirkpatrick2849]

Wow. You are so spot on about the chalk line and can lights. You're the man. Lol. Also, you're not afraid of your faith. I love it. We share a lot of views. Your channel is awesome. Thank you for what you do

[@floydiandays]

Ive lost so many tools over history, this was a nice list I could add to my Amazon to build my toolbox back up. Thanks!

[@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.

[@GothicVash123]

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

[@Mrgunsngear]

great video

[@frankdamelio1351]

Well thought out. I have most items, but missing a few. Chalk Box is now on my list. BTW Cody I highly Reccomended taking notes/ To Do lists utilizing “ FIELD NOTES” inspired by the vanishing sub genre of agriculture memo books, ornate pocket ledgers. Subscription based. 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

[@YusakuGod]

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

[@paulsmith8356]

What a Great set of videos. Of course, I am patting You on the back, having not seen the rest. But, I love the quality of this subject. And, and, You bring not only Your experience, but have inculcated all the experience from Your family history. My Bride and I are traveling to California to celebrate a Grand Niece's recent wedding. We will include these 10 tools in a box as a gift. I will also include lists from future videos as You present them.

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

Some people just have no idea how useful some of these tools can be, even for apartment dwellers.

[@xxbluel4goonxx141]

NobodyWhatsoever what apartment are you in that you need a sledge hammer?

[@carlzirk]

@@xxbluel4goonxx141 Some of these tools. But, you might use a sledgehammer to mash down a full dumpster as I need almost every week to push down my full recycling bin.

[@adelarsen9776]

There is a wide chasm between a tradesman and a master craftsman.

[@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. .

[@30CalCoreLokt]

Id love to see a video tour of that home your grandfather built

[@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

[@pyrokiller4682]

Vice grips depending on thicknesses can be used as a clamp if u use a rag or some tissue to protect surfaces

[@9dj528]

Zip ties WD40 and duct tape is all you'll ever need in life

[@alejandroespinosa4444]

DJ Heinzelman Hey! Great input! You should make videos on the subject!

[@jake_thomas9104]

OMG. IKR

[@moeshouse575]

moe you only need the duct tape if you have a Ford to work on.. LOL LOL

[@jacoswanepoel7613]

DJ Heinzelman Gran Torino was a great movie

[@bigdaddyvince182]

and needle nose pliers

[@almadeckard8360]

Good idea for gifting, I need to replace my vice-grips due to being twisted.

[@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.

[@schmojo33]

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.

[@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.

[@ekbanjosworld4926]

Excellent choices ! I'm praying for you and yours

[@DarkRaptor99]

Adjustable wrench is good but I would splurge for a Knipex Pliers wrench and cobras. They have saved me so much time and hassle over crappy versions of the tools

[@danquirke443]

DarkRaptor99 Knipex are awesome. Used to have two Knipex pliers and lent a pair to someone.. Wish I could remember who!

[@DarkRaptor99]

I just replaced my water heater they made the job so easy no busted knuckles or anything like that. It broke loose a 25 year old gas line connection no problem. I love em would only borrow them to someone I really trusted or had a deposit for a replacement!!

[@christopherblakeley]

DarkRaptor99 Knipex for the win, absolutely! The 7 or 8" side cutters will cut a #10 aircraft grade machine screw in half with nary a mark on the tool. And use the parallel jaw pliers instead of the Crescent wrench, less prone to slipping.

[@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.

[@frugalprepper]

In a pinch you can chuck the shaft of that 6n1 screwdriver up in the drill.

[@hendonburgism]

You are profound. Thank you for all that you do.

[@simplemanduke7128]

Great video series Cody. Perfect for those with a little less real world experience.

[@SethAllison]

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

[@greygoosemafia]

I live the klein 10n1. I just Vise Grips alot. mainly for holding shocks for that bolt that always strips or breaks off lol. needle nose vise grips for hose clamp pliers

[@peteaskme8926]

Great list to start things off looking forward to this series very much. I have always loved tools, and have wondered this question in my own life and work.

[@homer0919]

Drill bit sets and screwdrivers is what i go through the most

[@tracematson385]

I made my list of 50 as well very curious to see the differences in thought

[@71tonywhite]

The crescent wrench here in Australia we call that a shifter not to be confused with the one you use to change gears in your car. Out of all the tools that is the only one we call it different.

[@williamlacey9861]

Is that book you were reading part of the inheritance cycle. I love that series!

[@klamb9]

Would like to see a video entitled "Surprisingly useful totally um-necessary tools". A few examples from my list include: Jaw horse, Edge clamps, double-sided tape (to cut multiple pieces at one time), spring-loaded punch, elongated marker, etc.

[@matthewbeard4761]

I love these videos. I love to hear how you rationalize and explain your thoughts on the matter.

[@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.

[@MichaelDillin]

A lathe and mil would be my first 2 tools

[@Blakehx]

Great list, thanks! I agree with all of these although the best "Vise-Grips" I've ever owned were either Craftsman or GRIP brand! I like the tools you linked like the pliers and drill bits that are coated... I always prefer coated tools that won't get rusty!

[@TheMikeRybak]

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

[@Johnny241948]

A really good start for the kit.

[@kevinoconnell1354]

Also, I would take a pair of linesman pliers over the pliers and side cutters. If I need to open the pliers wider I'm usually going for the vise grips or adjustable (if the nuts in good condition).

[@jimhutton2390]

Generally I would agree with you, but slip jaw pliers work nicely with water hoses, and side cutters can cut cable ties that the linesman pliers can't easily do.

[@yaidontknowwhattoput]

I hope we see a bottle jack on the list.

[@marcussteele9196]

Very good advice on the tools. Thank you!

[@electriciantv5174]

For screwdrivers I think that the best multi screwdriver is the Klein 11 in 1. You get 8 screwdrivers 3 nut drivers. And a lifetime warranty with the quality of Klein tools

[@JohnSmith-il4wi]

I've never had a problem with Ryobi. I use a scroll saw from them that has been awesome.

[@towtruckaj]

To be honest, An average day joe could easily have 50 tools and be happy with it, A lot do. 1. Hammer 2. Drill 3. Screw driver set 4. Hex head set 5. Chainsaw depending on the place you live 6. Chains if they count 7. Crow bar 8. Vise 9. Miter saw 10. Flashlight 11. Glock 12. Sledge hammer 13. Welder 14. Soldering iron 15. duct tape 16. Pliers 17. File set 18. Wire cutters 19. Wire strippers 20. Razer blade 21. Level 22. Pencil 23. Tape measure 24. stud finder 25. Pudy knfie 26. Vehicle of some sort 27. Jig saw 28. Vise grips And that's about all I can think of right now. Those will cover pretty much any around the house job you have.

[@kindellh7495]

As a mechanic at a very large malting facility my three tools I carry absolutely everywhere I go is an 8 inch Cresent wrench, a pair of knipex channel locks and a dual head pocket screw driver. Tons of calls can be completed with these three tools.

[@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%

It is indeed an adjustable spanner!

For me. Groove goint pliers, multi screwdriver, utility knife, cable cutters

[@pacechcz]

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!

[@TheTomBevis]

I have a dial indicator set that has a vice-grip adapted as a indicator base. Just one more use for clamping pliers.

[@asakofdonuts]

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

[@michaeld387]

Why not make the crescent wrench a spud wrench? It’s two tools in one without any sacrifice in quality.

[@JPBennett]

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.

[@kevinoconnell1354]

Best screw driver is the Canadian classic "Picquic." They come as SEA or MM hex as well as torx too. I keep all 4 in the tool bag encase I have someone working with me or I want to work more productively.

[@joshbenton810]

The chanellock electrical linesman pliers and sideys are possibly my favorite tools

[@johnmartin4639]

I agree with most of the tools..the only difference I'd make is a 10" spud wrench instead of an adjustable as it is not only an adjustable but it's a spike it's heavy duty enough to beat on things with it and it can be used to align 2 holes

[@marvinconrad8736]

Stanley makes a 6 in 1 screwdriver. Great tool

[@tatunjld]

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

[@RocketCityGamer]

A tool that I could not live without is defiantly an angle grinder. I use them for all kinds of things pretty much everyday.

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.
