7:15 What’s Your Favorite Tool?
I would add a Socket set and even a combination wrench set. Especially if you do any DIY car repair.
multi meter or elect. test, pencil sharpener, files
I had never heard of Flex brand for the longest time. I suspect the quality. Feels like just a ‘big box’ brand.
multimeter?
Thanks for the video.
Outstanding !!! But you did leave Bosch out and that was a major oversight. Otherwise a very informative and detailed review.
Oh my goodness. I have tools from my dad, my uncle and my spouse. Now I know how many hammers I need (14 is too many!). This is a great beginning to figuring out what to keep and what to get rid of. But…. ball peen? Tack hammer? Rubber mallet? Oh dear. I think I need to go ride my motorcycle!!
Wonderbar/prybar, Combination Square/tin snips/chalk line. May have been mentioned im not sure.
Harbor Freight if your a home owner that is doing the basics. They have all you need and aren’t as much.
As a guy who has earned his living as a handyman, the advice in this video is 100 percent solid. They day I discovered a reciprocating saw a couple decades ago it changed my life.
Switch out the sawzall for an angle grinder. Other than that I would agree with the selection.
I’d start with a square and a pencil, panel saw, tape measure and a 1 inch and half inch wood chisels, Hammer, drill and impact with bits. Half inch ratchet with 10-19 sockets. Box end spanners the same 10-19. Oh and don’t be fooled into thinking you need to buy all this stuff new. Go to yard sales buy random boxes of tools
How can I get a cutting machine?
You should take Skil and Ryobi out that list these tools are on a higher level now
You’re telling non-trades people to get a Stiletto or Martinez framing hammer? Get out of town, man 😂
Stud finder
great video, not getting too specific just saying some good brands and the tools you need, the only thing I would add would maybe be a socket set which IMO gearwrench is great for that, if you’re Canadian Maximum tools from Canadian Tire are amazing and the warranty is absolutely fantastic
Every homeowner should have an oscillating tool.
Blowed if I know what purpose the muzak serves. Except to annoy.
Safety always come thir… first 😅
A small or medium Pinch Clamp and a Water Pipe Clam are good additions to the set too. Don’t forget a marker and pencil, some tape (mask, silver, electrical and water sealing tapes) an electrical tester screwdriver, and maybe a round or tringular Small or medium Metal File, a little piece of sand paper, a towel or rag (old t-shirt piece), a scissor (craft snip) and I think you are good to go. 😌
That is funny how people forget about Bosch, they make some good tools as well.
I would say a multi tool or oscillating would be also great to have
Safety comes thir…first!
Regarding the screwdriver sets you mention at the beginning. Just get a small 4 in 1 screwdriver. This has a couple bits that flip between a couple sizes of Phillips and straight. Klein is a great brand. And then get a bit set. This has a screwdriver handle with a 1/4" socket on the end and then 20 or so short bits that fit in it. They are the Torx, Robertson, etc. sizes. I have a 30 year old Craftsman set that has saved me many many times when dealing with an unknown Torx or Robertson screw.
Why am I hearing Annie Lennox’s voice mixed into the generic music here? Thanks for the vid, btw!
You forgot everyone needs two Wilton Bullet Vises.
I think this guy likes Milwaukee
always comes third 🤣
Agreed. Safety does come 31st. Haha

Stud finder, multimeter, electrical tape, 2 pencils and a sharpener, locktite, a caulk gun, wipes, compact 1/4th ratchet set
For power tools, an oscillating multi-tool, a compact vacuum, a speaker and a fan.
For just diy-handyman style, everything i need fits into a ryobi link stack, but any brand will do. Big box on the bottom for saws, accessories like lights, fans spare batteries and chargers and radios in the middle, drivers in the small box, whatever youre carrying in the crate, and the vacuum and handtool bag on top. If you go a stacking brand without a vac then get one that wall mounts and bracket it to a box
The third hand tool seems pretty good quality design
Safety always comes thi— first. Good safe
You don’t want to go cheap on tools. Get a good brand it’s worth it in the long run.
Thank you for making a custom video for me and me alone lol
Porter cable good diy
Stud finder
Hart makes a damn fine hammer.
Amazing how Bosch pro rarely gets a mention in the American market
A toilet plunger! If you can’t go.. Nothing else will matter! 🤣🤣
Safety comes 3rd 😂
Thank you. I’m gifting my father-in-law with a tool kit.
Settler’s whench
1st aid kit when was a kid was paper towels and electrical tape.👍
"Kinipax". Its pronounced nipex. Knipex.
Step ladders or ladders in general.
My Dad taught me what I needed. Unfortunately, most men now days are USELESS.
Very helpful list!!!!
Maybe not useful as often, but I’d add a set of picks, a telescopic magnet, and a magnetic tray/dish
