What are the odds, I have an Aunt Gladys and she needed help and I brought of the tools selected. The oscillating tool, the clamp along with the clamp and caulk gun were perfect for doing the hysterectomy. My late Aung Gladys says thank you to your channel.
Bucket List: Circular Saw Pry Bar Hammer Clamp ie, F-style Caulk Gun Oscillating Multi-tool & Blade Assortment Level Tri-Square Tape Measure Tin Snips Knipex plier (large) Vice Grips Wire-tying Plier Electric Circuit Tester Chisel Pencil Stud Finder Paint Brush Drill & Bit/Driver Assortment White Chalk Line Multi-tool ie, Leatherman Utility Knife Nail Set Viewers have also suggested a bucket liner to assist with bucket organization.
In the Irwin box, ensure there is a # 1 and 2 square drive, Torque screws, T10 to T25, along with all the others. Also remind everyone to bring the battery charger . LOL, and don't forget the Tapcons and hammer drill. I know, but my typical comment is, "why didn't I bring...". Good fun video.
Sir I don't know if you did get yourself some squeeze clamps but I got myself a pair of the Bessey 600lb trigger clamps - 24" ($27 ea) - a year or two ago and they feel like you could clamp your skid loader down to the trailer with them. Great feel and build quality. I most regularly use them to clamp a straight edge to rip sheet goods. But they are built for far more demanding tasks. Thanks for all the great videos.
I’m 19 I work as a maintenance technician I’m working on making my personal tool kit. I really over complicate things and try getting every tool for every project possible. this video helped me so much. I know much you can do with these tools I need to remember it’s about what you know not what you have.
love it love it love it - couple of observations/suggestions:: 1) small boddle of yellow glue/wood glue 2) 5 in 1 or better 3) small piece of course sandpaper preferably from belt sander 4) small pieces of finer sandpaper than 3) 5) 11 in 1 screwdriver or better 6) contractor trash bag or similar 7) napkins or paper towels kept dry 8) relatively clean cloth towel for wetting with water 9)second empty bucket nested under first for trash/water etc. 10) couple of small picks 11)) magic marker / sharpie 12) old pill bottle of assorted screws - we've all got our methods of that these things probably won't take up too much space - also small things can be grouped in ziplock bags for convenience temporarily my problem is one bucket turns into 5 etc. so please use your best judgement thank you Happy New Year!!
Car mechanic here - I know so much about working on cars and trucks but I felt like I was severely lacking in knowledge about homes and construction. I enjoy these videos helping bridging my knowledge gap with being a handyman. Thank you for helping me justify buying another tool box!
The last bit of advice at the end I need to take to heart. I get frustrated every now and then fixing everyone's problems, but in reality I think most of the folks I know use it as an excuse to see me. I should just be grateful that I have friends and family who want to see me, and that I can be helpful to them.
Retired carpenter after 50 years, but man do I ache sometimes to get back to it! The next best thing is watching your videos. Thank you sir! One suggestion for using your WonderBar: When you need more leverage than the hammer can give without mooshing the wood, lay the bar under the head to protect the stuff underneath, spreading the load over a larger area. Less mooshing!
To my bucket I also carry a few zip ties, a short section of wire, electrical tape and an old peanut butter jar filled with a few random screws, wire nuts, bolts and nuts.
Great video. I'm doing it. I'm always missing something when I go visit my daughter and she wants me to do a small job for her. Thanks again.
First circular saw cut is in the parking lot of Lowes so you can get the wood into that Geo Metro!
"Look at it as relationship you're trying to strengthen". Damn. Wise words.
I would also add a 5-in-1 painting tool... very handy and compact..
My mom remarried late in life to a really great guy. I'm pretty handy but realized quickly he had a lifetime of experience and look on him as a mentor. If he did something, I decided I would copy it until I had something reason not to. I rarely have a reason not to. He showed up to help with his bucket of tools and I decided I needed a bucket of tools. Every kid who moved into a house got a bucket full of garage sale and discount tools to get them started (and insured I had a basic tool load out any time I visited). Love a bucket liner.
Great video. As an old plumber who gets calls for all sorts of reasons, that is a good bucket. Always tell people it easier to work in someone else’s house, because in my own I get one tool at a time, versus yours, I’ll show up w everything. A good bucket, well thought out, is gold.
One thing you missed is what I call my dad called his miracle box. Mine It’s a small parts bin with an assortment of hardware, screws, nails, wire terminals, nuts and bolts, wire nuts, washers for taps, wall anchors, picture hangers, etc etc etc. This box has save me countless trips to the box store.
I worked for 5 years as a fireplace installer. Built 'em, tore 'em down. Framing, electrical, gas, masonry, finish cabinetry, tile, roof, etc. Anything and everything pertaining to fireplaces. Craftsman's bucket looks a heck of a lot like the bucket I brought to every jobsite for those 5 years. 10/10, this is a good bucket.
Even you comment section is filled with good Ideas. You inspire those that think ahead of time.
