Wonderbar/prybar, Combination Square/tin snips/chalk line. May have been mentioned im not sure.
Thanks for the video.
I had never heard of Flex brand for the longest time. I suspect the quality. Feels like just a ‘big box’ brand.
Stud finder
You should take Skil and Ryobi out that list these tools are on a higher level now
The third hand tool seems pretty good quality design
Blowed if I know what purpose the muzak serves. Except to annoy.
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

Safety comes 3rd 😂
That is funny how people forget about Bosch, they make some good tools as well.
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.
"Kinipax". Its pronounced nipex. Knipex.
Switch out the sawzall for an angle grinder. Other than that I would agree with the selection.
always comes third 🤣
I would add a Socket set and even a combination wrench set. Especially if you do any DIY car repair.
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.
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
Safety always come thir… first 😅
Very helpful list!!!!
Every homeowner should have an oscillating tool.
Why am I hearing Annie Lennox’s voice mixed into the generic music here? Thanks for the vid, btw!
I would say a multi tool or oscillating would be also great to have
A toilet plunger! If you can’t go.. Nothing else will matter! 🤣🤣
1st aid kit when was a kid was paper towels and electrical tape.👍
Safety comes thir…first!
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
Amazing how Bosch pro rarely gets a mention in the American market
Step ladders or ladders in general.
Thank you. I’m gifting my father-in-law with a tool kit.
multimeter?
Porter cable good diy
You forgot everyone needs two Wilton Bullet Vises.
Harbor Freight if your a home owner that is doing the basics. They have all you need and aren’t as much.
Stud finder
How can I get a cutting machine?
Maybe not useful as often, but I’d add a set of picks, a telescopic magnet, and a magnetic tray/dish
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.
Thank you for making a custom video for me and me alone lol
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!!
Outstanding !!! But you did leave Bosch out and that was a major oversight. Otherwise a very informative and detailed review.
You’re telling non-trades people to get a Stiletto or Martinez framing hammer? Get out of town, man 😂
Settler’s whench
multi meter or elect. test, pencil sharpener, files
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. 😌
Agreed. Safety does come 31st. Haha
Hart makes a damn fine hammer.
I think this guy likes Milwaukee
My Dad taught me what I needed. Unfortunately, most men now days are USELESS.
