The last thing you want as a finish Carpenter is a waffle head hammer smooth for finish work waffle for framing
What tools are supplied by the company you are working for?
I ain’t ever seen anyone ever actually use the warranties lmao. I should probably get on their ass about saving the receipt and doing this with their tools.
Any recommendations on a good board stretcher??
My old tape measure is a Standley 8m/ 26′ by Tylon, when I was a glazer. I use it as a home tool now just because a starting employee kept bending the measure back and forth and really warpped my blade from 0-5in/ 0-12.6cm and it has a lot of chips on the side too. I rarely give someone my tape now and expect others to have the bare minum or I watch them use it and give it back right away. So far my Toughbuilt 26′ (Main) and Milwaukee 16ft (spare) are my go to and haven’t yet lost it.
Buy expensive tools, expensive tools are cheap compared to other items such as a phone
Harbor freight, and craigslist are good places also
My first tool bag was my old backpack from high school. Served well for those first few months
3 in 1 plunger
you can get this under 250 at harbor freight
Best place in town to find a tape measure
Lufkin 35f is trash used it first day buying it pulled it out to 33f and then wouldn’t go back in the holder. Kobalt 35f is the best even have the 16f kobalt.
I have a husky bag that’s like that I’ve literally never zippered it closed and it’s harder to look in it and find what your looking for
Why do you throw a lot of the heavy metal hand tools into the metal shopping cart? I realize tools are going to get wear and tear on them, but why intentionally abuse them? Especially before they belong to you. If someone came into my shop and tossed my tools around like that, I’d kick them out and tell them never to come back.
My first set of powertools were all ryobis because I was poor. Eventually i Upgradrd to Makita after I made enough, but I held onto the old greenies and I cannot tell you the look of gratitude on my apprentice’s face when I gave him that set of beat up tools, just a drill driver and skilsaw, but holding on to these beginner tools even after you upgrade is always a good idea. You never know how fucked the rookie’s financials are, giving em your old screwdriver set might just be what keeps them in the trade
Milwaukee Wide Blade all day for the tape.
Maaan i wish my local lowes had that many Lenox tools. Seems they only have Lenox blades and drill bits
Pretty good. i would definitely swap out the chisels for a set of Allen keys.
I’ve had my Stanley fat max for around 2 years. Still works great
Don’t forget the 3ft long pipe wrench for little 1/4-20 nuts on toilets 😂
u need a sqare g
this was the absolute last place i expected to see filthy frank but i am overjoyed that i did.

IF YOUVE HAD A TAPE MEASURE “”FOREVER””” THAT MEANS YOU AINT WORKING !! 🤨🤨🤨
Lifetime warranty is meaningless once the manufacturer goes out of business
Harbor freight tape measure. It’s been left around hundreds of times but nobody wants to steal it
Great tips for a beginner like myself! Im now excited to build my toolbox. Will buy used ones to add thrill, more economical and eco friendly. Thanks heaps for this mate!
Thank you for your videos, I just got hired on as a fire sprinkler apprentice first days Monday..
And why wouldn’t you shut buy everything kobalt because everything is lifetime warranty
I know I’m late to the party but when it comes to adjustable pliers I have used channel lock and Pittsburgh and everything else but I have recently come to knipex and I will never go back
You could get the same variety of tools for cheaper at Home Depot. You get the same warranties and even better quality but will save on nearly every item I saw here. The only great deal I saw was the hammer.
Depends on how woke you are. Lowe’s leading the way in wokeness. Menards helps you load your shit. Lowe’s likes to watch
Thank you for this video! Very helpful! 🙂
When you have a tool with a lifetime warranty that goes bad, what is the process like in 20 years were it to go bad? Assuming you no longer have the receipt or packaging.
I trust harbor more than Lowe’s
"Hazzle free" at lowes means you have to have a rexeipt or the exact card you used to purchase it, sif its no longer available oh well they just tell you to fucc off. Lowes is the shittiest store there is and yes im aware ace exists
You’re better off buying black market tools
Utility knife is indispensable; taken for granted.
I’ve used them all and nothing beats the Milwaukee Fastback. You’ll never touch another utility knife, and everyone will want yours
Is cobalt pipe wrench a good wrench ?
Tools for guys who already have a collection started ?
Don’t forget a drill
Great video. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.
I hate the measuring tape you chose not heavy duty quite the opposite, crescent tape drops 4 ft and breaks, well from my experience owning one, however great choice on hammer 24oz estwing is awesome.
Flat-head screws should’ve been phased out of existence 60 years ago. T25’s should be the norm.
I’ve got a 30′ Stanley tape measure my dad gave me that will be my tape measure til someone comes and pries it out of my cold, dead hands.
The fact that you had filthy frank!!! Imma subscribe!
Kobalt has the best value double sided tape measure
