I picked up the Cobra XS 4” pliers. I carry them in my front pocket with the head up and handles facing towards my hip. I’m not fond of things in my pockets. But I truly don’t notice them. It was one of those don’t need it, gotta have it moments. I torqued a 1” bolt (bench vise) to 60 ft•lbf and was able to break it free. Couldn’t do 65. Pliers Wrench would have been more appropriate but these were on sale. They have come in handy a few times (ex. tightening a turnbuckle on a screen door). Saved me a trip to the truck. That in conjunction with my Milwaukee Fastback 6-in-1 is terrific EDC. And an Olight of course.
As far as the Kapro square is concerned…double check it against something like an engineers square for accuracy…mine was out about a full degree and a half.
Take care
You are the second person to say that on the square already. Not looking good for that.
I will end up picking up those Mini Knipex one day… Milwaukee is currently taking all my tool money 😂
If I keep watching these videos I'll end up on an A&E show. They'll have to come in and find me amongst my grotesque, hoarded stash...boxes and boxes of tools...and I won't be able to get out.
I’m getting there myself… going to need a bigger building 😂
Lol HOARDERS - Tools Edition. I helped someone move the other day and their wife had so much holiday crap, they needed to be in Hoarders - Holiday Decoration Edition.
I already need to be on a hoarding show. It’s amazing how much money I spent on tools for a job that pay bear minimum. Just started doing maintenance at a hospital and miss apartment maintenance
@@danieljohnson6684 yeah it can become an addiction.
As crazy as it seems, though they drive you nuts… the homeowners/tenants that really tear stuff up make life interesting. It’s what I like about service work. It’s like being a detective to find out what they really did verses what they told you 😂 A lot of weird random stuff..,
I would think a hospital might be a little more fast paced, but much of the same stuff over and over? (never worked in one)
Toyed with the idea of stilts by decided at 54yrs old I couldn’t afford the recovery time or cost of a fall. I really like the mini scaffold for painting and drywall finishing/repairs. I also have a “bakers rack” type scaffold, great when I need something bigger but use the mini 95% of the time for 8’-9’ or less. It’s also the easiest to transport set up.
I agree on the stilts.. it also has to be the right type of work site to be able to use them.
I currently use small rolling scaffolds or step type platforms. I’m generally below 9’ most of the time too.
I have the Field Piece probes. I've never used the Testo gear. I hear it's great but has limited range and that's why I bought field piece. The field piece range is unbelievable. I can walk across my office buildings and go outside and still get signal to my phone. Some of my line sets are over 100' so there are long distances with walls and floors in between and they don't drop signal.
I didn't buy a manifold. I can use a tee fitting to charge and you don't want to pull a vacuum through a manifold because it takes forever.
I have the flat trash can mat. I forget the name now but it works great. I can use it for demo but it stores flat in my van. A trash can just takes up a ton of space.
Yeah, once I get my topper I think I’m going to get the trash can, I can figure out a way to mount it to the top instead of stacking stuff on top of it.
Thanks for the info of the Field Piece… it’s been pretty much unanimous for those
I have the supco umbrella. That’s a decent price at 77$
I paid almost 90
Sucker 😂😂😂
Yeah there have been some times I wish I had it… but It’s a tool you forget you should have bought it until you need it.
Hey Joey, I have the Knipex XS Pilers Wrench and Cobras in my on body EDC pocket organizer for everyday tightening and tinkering. Highly recommend. Couple those with the Klein pocket precision driver, Milwaukee 6-in-1 utility knife with hex driver and a Victorinox Handyman and I'm dangerous. I want the Viking Arms as well but just can't stomach the price yet. I have researched them and the clones are definitely not equals. Happy tool hunting!
Appreciate your thoughts… yeah there are a lot of Viking Knockoffs… none with very good reviews.
Thanks my friend 👍
Awesome concept for a video. I build my Amazon wishlist the same way.
Appreciate that 👍
I swear the prices go down almost always when you put stuff in there. Kinda like eBay. I always watch whatever I want to buy and they usually will send you a discounted price.
I totally agree
Me too!!
- Engineer makes the pliers for Vamplier, Engineer pliers are absolutely top notch.
- The Klein tape measures are great.
- IIf you're looking for long reach pliers like needle nose, consider getting the double jointed (or compound jointed) ones. The plier end opens just as far as the handle end.
- Get the Malco locking pliers while you can, they have stopped production and are closing that plant.
- The GearWrench Bolt Biter 1/4" hex set is basically just doubles (you're pretty much getting 2 of each size), you can usually find the single set (without the box just in a bit holder) for significantly less.
- As far as the T-Handle Wera, I much prefer the Snap-On T-Handle or even the Vessel Ball Handle (which gives you pretty much the same grip).
You, me and just about everyone that watches these videos need therapy; long live the Tool Junkies.
I know and you are feeding my addiction 😂
I just picked up some compound joint pliers not too long ago.
Thanks for the suggestions 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance I saw that Klein Thermos on your bench the other day and I had to look through your videos to find out more about it so I went on eBay and bought one. The shipping to Canada was more than the unit so I paid $98 CND to get one. Thanks a bunch, I had to tell my wife I just bought my birthday present from her to me.🙃
I buy my own presents too 😂 👍👍
I am a huge fan of the engineer screw pliers, they are in my pro pack I lug around daily. They got me out of enough jams to earn their spot.
As far as thermal imagers, they were a game changer finding bad bearings or electrical connections in super noisy industrial environments and checking for hot spots in walls after hot work. Ours is an older FLIR and it's great. I have one that plugs into the phone, but couldn't tell you where it is. It was that good 😅
The phone one seems like a good idea, but my port where you plug stuff in your phone always gets jacked up… or my luck they will change to USB D right after I buy something like that 😂
Many people have said good things about Engineer pliers
The wiha hammer is a good little hammer. But here in the uk it’s only £30!
I like the looks, shape, and size of it… wish it were that price. 👍
I wrap white cloth sports tape around my SS taping knives, gives it good grip without changing the feel of the handle.
👍… Nice suggestion. I love the feel and how easy they clean.
Them knipex installation plyers is great. Hard for me to say it but was worth the money.
I like them the best of all my strippers… they are super pricey
I’m an HVAC tech and I’ve had both the Testo and Fieldpiece probes, and the Fieldpiece are far better in my opinion. The range is way better; with my Testo’s I would put my psychrometers in the duct work in the basement and I would go outside to hook up and I would loose connection. The Fieldpiece claim 1000’ range, and while
I haven’t tested that, they have never dropped out on me, so if you’re just checking to see if a system is charged correctly or not, the Fieldpiece probes are excellent. You can charge a system with them if you have a hose and a charging T if that’s something you’re willing to do, but at that point you might just go with a regular manifold. If you get them I would recommend getting the 2 psychrometers with them so you can take temp readings too, as that’s a part of AC systems.
Also, I think the Wiha Hammer is a listed as a pack of like 4 or 5 them and that’s why it’s listed for $200.
Appreciate all that information… Very Helpful. I primarily would just be checking charges, just part of Maintenance checks and things.
I hadn’t noticed that on the Wiha Hammer. That makes me feel better that they don’t love the hammer that much 😂
The eagle grip by Malco is best vicegrips you can buy. I live ten min from original vice grip factory. The eagle grips they make there now are much higher quality than any of the old vice grips. Same factory makes the snap on branded ones for a lot more money
👍👍
The Wiha electricians hammer is great due the head shape and weight. It is available on Amazon uk for £30 and £11 shipping to USA. So about $50 US for the hammer which is a fair price. You will enjoy it once you try it. It is a true need and not a want. Cheers
Appreciate it… I’m not sure I want to delve into a whole other Countries Amazon worth of tools… it could be costly 😂.
I didn’t even know that was a thing, so thanks for pointing that out 👍
Stilts are the way to go….. HUGE timesaver. I walked stilts for 25 years and we used Dura-Stilts name
Brand. They cost more than the ones you have but last forever. If you use stilts the best tip I can give is to keep your floors as clean as possible. Although working Contruction sites it’s not going to be perfect. The two things that would get me tripped up were extension cords and wet sheet rock mud. Stay safe!!
Fieldpiece probes are the best. I’ve been doing refrigeration work for the past 7 years. Can’t go wrong with fieldpiece.
I like the idea of just using the probes and a phone/tablet.
Yeah I have a buddy that uses stilts a lot.. he says people’s junk on the ground is what gets you. Appreciate the brand suggestion, I know nothing about them. 👍
Love Testos, but I have both Testo and Fieldpiece, definitely prefer the Fieldpiece.
That seems to be the consensus… and by watching people use them in videos my view as well
Don’t have the mini cobras but I have the 7 1/4 in cobras and I absolutely love them. I hate adjustable pliers but not the cobras and the bite on them is unmatched
Agree on both the size choice and the bite. Everyone I have let use them has bought a pair.
Appion just came out with some refrigerant gauges that you can Bluetooth to your phone and they also have a digital read out on them. I do industrial HVAC and I find it to some times be a pain to keep going in and out of an app and will be looking at upgrading to a probe with a screen readout on it to just quickly look at
Appreciate your insight… I’ve been back and forth on a set for some time.
I have the Leica disto d2 laser distance measure and love it and I keep 12 collins miter clamps
Added to the list to checkout…
Do you know what the Bluetooth allows you to do. The Bosch I have has it, and with their app it allows you to draw out floor plans… It doesn’t work that well though. I wish it did, that would be super useful for me.
Al’s thanks for the clamps 👍
Friendly Tip! Another huge game changing tool is the Hyde/Richard 2 1/2 Gooseneck flex paint brush extension. Voted#1 by DIY"S and painters. Amazon 1,500 reviews. 4.6 Stars Cheers!☺
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
See Gooseneck paint brush videos on youtube Don Sincennes Cheers!
I have the Klein thermal camera, I saw another comment about the refresh rate (calibration) and it can get annoying. But at the price point and size, it fits my needs very well. I own a handyman business, and use it at least twice a week. I stick it in walls, behind appliances, around active leaks, and at $300 I'm not scared of using it the way I do. Down the road I'll get a Flir, but I'm happy with my Klein.
Thank for your thoughts… that price range seems to be an entry level but there is a big jump between that and the next 😂.
I will be using mine for similar things.. checking for radiant in floors, leaks, air infiltration, etc.
@@MORGANSMaintenance The price jump was my biggest hold back. I thought how can a $300 unit compare to a $1000+ unit. But the little guy holds it's own. If I broke it tomorrow, I would replace it right then. Thanks for your great content! I really enjoy watching!
@@paulfox9904 appreciate it buddy 👍
I have the Vessel ratcheting screwdriver that you have in the list. Its a wonderful screwdriver for the price. I swapped out the bits in the handle for the ones I commonly use for electrical work and its been super handy. I really recommend any Vessel products!
They are new to me but I love the Ball Grip Screwdrivers.
Good to know that you can swap out bits… appreciate that 👍
Not sure if you can get hold of Beta Tools where you are. They sell the the 850MQ which is a VDE rated 1/4" hex bit holder as an alternative to the Felo unit.
I don't find the Wiha hammer anything special than other alternatives that are out there really. In the UK on the Wiha website, that is a $55 hammer, so not sure what Amazon are doing with their price!
For thermal camera, I use a FLirOne that attaches to a phone, Andoid or IOS versions available. There is also a more cost effective unit from iSeek, that will utilise the battery from the phone, where as the Flir only operates from its internal battery which doesn't last too long in storage.
Thanks I will check on the Beta..,
The iSeek was another one I was looking at.. thanks for the battery info, that is helpful.
Appreciate it buddy 👍
Just get the vessel but set. I have almost every bit set made and it’s by far my favorite
Same with the flexible shaft wera. It’s a necessity
@@collinis1 good to know on the bit set 👍👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance it has every size you could ever want for an impact driver. It’s compact, and the hits are just long enough where you can use them in your impact without an extension.
@@collinis1 the no extension part is nice 👍
As for the floor cutters the only brand I’ve ever used is D-Cut. Can take a bit to ship and they aren’t on Amazon but I’ve put in probably close to 100,000 square feet with mine and I know of a few other contractors that have them as well, they are extremely high quality. Haven’t used them much on engineered or laminate but for vinyl plank they are amazing and last forever. Plus if u get the expensive one u can do L cuts, diagonals and rips on it without needing a circ saw which is great for 2nd and 3rd floor jobs or if u are in someone’s home and want to cut down on the saw dust
I would like being able to do the rip cuts.. appreciate the suggestion, I haven’t heard of those.
Just looked this up... it is nice. My next big job that where I can work this in the price I think I will pull the trigger... Thanks again
FYI I got that black pouch on Ali Express for $2 USD, prices vary a little but you should find it way cheaper on there. For the money the quality is really good imo.. Peace from downunder!
Appreciate it 👍
Thermal camera is something on my list too.
CAT actually makes smartphones with thermal imaging, so I'm holding out until my current phone dies before pulling the trigger on that one.
Some random things from my wishlist are a Back-EZ Tool Handle (lots of snow shoveling), a Forearm Forklift, and a Measureman manifold pressure test kit for propane.
I’m a fan of my smartphone doing things. That’s why I loved my calculator on it… but they switched to a subscription service instead of letting you just pay more one. Not a fan of that.
Appreciate all the suggestions, will check those out 👍
not just CAT, Ulefone 18T is another one
I have the 11T
I hear good things about Narex chisels for a good, fine woodworking chisel.
I want to say that R&R Buildings has said that the Stabila laser measurers are so accurate that they often cut a hair shy otherwise it'll be too tight when they're doing framing.
They are one of the ones I’ve been watching use the Stabila. The Bosch are pretty good, I’ve cut crown moulding with it on longer pieces.
The Narex are the ones I’ve been researching. They seem to be god for their price range. I’ve never really had a “good set” of chisels. Always just bought what they stock in stores, but I would like to have some.
@@MORGANSMaintenance Yeah, my understanding is that Narex is near the top of price:performance, but I've seen adages that amount to "A good set of chisels is a sharp set of chisels, and they're only as sharp as you keep them," so if you want good chisels, half of it is buying good chisels, and the other half is buying a good way to reliably sharpen them... and then actually sharpening them every time they get shy of razor sharp (a sharp tool is a safe tool, etc.)
@@CygnusRising the ole Abraham Lincoln quote… if he had 8 hours to cut wood he would spend 7 hours sharpening his ax… or something like that 😂
10:17 wire strippers, I have them they're great for small wire would really go to 10g with them. Just need to do some adjustments for length of removal. 11:55 The "fitting savers" come in handy when doing repairs on pipe coming out of concrete.
Yeah I’ve been seeing shorts for those fitting savers and have needed one a time or two.
Thanks for your thoughts on these 👍
Your watch list/basket looks about as full as mine. You've got a whole load of stuff there that's not on my radar right now but I'll be adding a few of them to mine. I've always wanted some of those long spatulas for flattening down ceilings using a pole to minimise wear and tear on my shoulders. Great concept and content as always mate.
Appreciate it… it gets really full, but I have to weed it out every now and then.
I will probably get the pole attachment one day. I primarily work in commercial spaces where they do acoustical ceilings here. So most of my drywall work is all walls.
Klein 32619 & 32715 have been a nice addition to what I want to carry around. I'm on a "crusade" to eliminate tool handles if possible.
These are adjustable length drivers from 4"-8" blade length. They've saved me twice so far.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
I have the driver with a flip phillips and slotted. I don’t have the extra blades. That handle was one of the first ones I bought where I started using bit drivers and other things with one handle. You can do a lot with just that handle and all the bits you normally put in your drill.
(Right angle attachments, tapping bits, etc)
From what I gathered, the Wiha is just a rebranded Hultafors EL hammer. I have had the Hultafors in my service bag during the last year and really like it.
Appreciate it. I can stomach $80 over $220 a little easier.
Definitely get the fieldpiece probes over the testo. The range is 3x longer and measurequick helped in the development.
Appreciate it… that’s been the consensus so far 👍
Second Fieldpiece I had the 2nd gen testos and the range was garbage.
Also their warranty process when I broke a temp clamp was zero questions replaced. Can’t say enough about Fieldpiece except that I’ll still take a fluke meter over theirs
@@asg58 👍
most of those cheapo impact socket sets aren't too bad. I have one i keep in the car for working on random stuff and it's pretty good. I do reccomend keeping whatever size socket your vehicle uses for lug nuts with you though. Esp. if you have an impact... As for crimping data cables, the regular klein pliers for crimping network connections are fine. I usually keep a set and a punchdown tool with me (cheap monoprice ones i've had for over 10 years). I find i do keystones more than make cables up. As for thermal cameras, i recently bought the topdon one and it works pretty good. works with your phone so you can easily save pictures and send them. Plus it was a fair bit cheaper than the big name ones. Might want to check out the Stiletto hammers too, i know a bunch of people who swear by them, and they are nice.
As for the hvac test gear, i know HVACR videos on youtube uses a lot of the fieldpiece stuff, and has a deal with a store on the stuff. Might be something to look at. I personally tend to stay out of refrigerant and hvac stuff personally, but to each their own.
Thanks so much 👍.
Yeah I think some cheaper sockets will suite me for those. I do have a set of wheel lug sockets I keep in my truck.
Thanks for the TopDon suggestion, will check that one out.
I don’t do a lot of the refrigerant side of HVAC. I mostly do the electrical side of it and pass off that to someone else. Mostly because I don’t have room for everything in my truck.
Thanks again for taking the time 👍
I have also been doing keystones more often lately too.... I don't do as much network as I used to, but the last several have been keystones.
@@MORGANSMaintenance I recommend investing in a punchdown stand. Saves driving the blade of the punchdown tool into your hand
@@JeffLMisc 👍
I have no idea as far as a review, but I saw that reaming tool on a short and 100% want to get one. I'd love to see you do a review on it.
That’s where I saw it too 😂. Been wanting it ever since
Here’s a tool set you need to check out. Wadsworth Ratchet Set Mini Super Deluxe 52 pc. Super small super tuff. Rebuy in a hart beat if I lost my set!
The iCrimp Angle PEX Crimpers are ok. I just did a home water filter with them. It always cool to see what tools other people use & want! Great video!
Appreciate the suggestion...
My Pex crimpers I used before were the companies that I worked for. I really want to buy the Milwaukee ones but I just don't run into it enough that I feel the hand ones will work for me on the price. I know I want a set that is for close quarters... I used to have a set that were shaped like Bolt Cutters and I hated those.
Most houses I work in are still copper at the moment, bust most new construction is going Pex...
I have the glue gun that takes the M18 battery and it works great and is a really good price.
Thanks for that.. I didn’t know anyone that had it, but it would be nice to have it work with my batteries.
If you’re looking into a IR camera I’d go with a flir. I’m a home inspector so the flir e8 is my bread and butter. Before i dropped 3 grand in that camera i used a c3 i found on sale and it was awesome. Lastly be aware that if you’re going to use any IR camera to find leaks you MUST use a moisture meter as well
Thanks for the suggestion… and the advice.
What about the Hikmicro pocket 2 - looks pretty good and affordable, for general maintenance and inspections?
@@lukesb3025 I have seen that one one someone’s videos… maybe Mikey Pipes.
Try out the Irwin strait line tape measure! Has a longer standout than the fatmax and Milwaukee and the tape itself is a better quality than the kliens
👍… Thanks for the suggestion
Hey Morgan, been very impressed with all my vessel purchases, can't go wrong. Not impressed with the knipex auto stripper, go with the Kleins. Engineer makes the Vampires💪💪💪
Me too on the Vessel and thanks for the heads up on the Strippers 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance those knipex strippers are not the knipex quality I've come to know and love.
@@tedmcdonald3377 yeah they look pretty plasticky in all the videos I have watched. I haven’t seen them in person.
Wear Screw grippers are awesome and now down to around $ 10.00
Thanks for the feedback.. I keep seeing them here or there in videos
Kwickan is plastic, not cardboard. I wish they were a bit taller. Otherwise they’re great. Especially when using them with the demolition bags from HD
I knew they were, I misspoke thinking of the paper bag the guy was using 🤦♂️.
Appreciate you. Learning that up in case someone was looking at those. I believe I’m going to order one of those.
I have the bolster clipped to my Klein tool bag. I work in maintenance at a hotel and when I work on ptac units or furnaces, I keep all the screws that I take out in it and I don't have to worry about finding them when I put it back together.
So do the holes for screws stretch out and return back pretty well to their previous size?
The screw holding part is what I thought was kind of interesting about it.
@@MORGANSMaintenance yes they go back to their original size. At least so far. I've packed it for about a year now. I like the fact that it holds my driver bits from my 11 in 1 while I'm using the quarter and 5/16 nut drivers also.
@@Swampfox1978 👍.. thanks for the info
@@MORGANSMaintenance you're welcome.
This was a great video idea. I too have those 22” cobras on my wishlist when I absolutely don’t need them but man would I like to have them just to hold 😂 I’d also just like to mention the epauto 1/2” impact sockets I had were chrome vanadium and I didn’t really like that. I ended up buying Olsa sockets that are Chrome Molybdenum instead and also came in a really nice case. Capri also makes really great sockets for the price as well but they come in a socket tray instead of a blow mold case.
Yeah I’m the same on the cobras 😂.
Thanks for the suggestions on the sockets 👍
The Klein tap is so much heavier then the usual tape measure fyi!!
Yeah they have the 25’ in the store and I’ve held it… I prefer a 16’ usually so I will have to order.
Thanks for the advice 👍
I have the wigs hammer and love it. It hangs on the side of my tech pak perfectly, I bought it for around 50$ off of the workman website had to pay I think 20 dollars for international shipping but it’s worth it for me.
Thanks for the tip… it looked like it would wok well with a Veto 👍
I returned the klein thermal imager. I wanted to love it and add to my mass klein tools. It's refresh rait just wasn't worth $300. Lots of better options out there. The digital level is awesome!
Appreciate the thoughts on the Thermal.. yeah if you spend $300 on something, you want to love it.
Digital levels are amazing… I can’t go back, especially the older my 👀 get 😂
I paid $80Aus for wiha hammer - 200$ US is insanely expensive. The knipex wire strippers are really good they're my daily use at the moment. I don't think you should bother getting a green beam laser measurer, anything over 50m you need a tripod to accurately measure. added a few of your goodies to my list now haha
Yeah I don’t have that much of a problem seeing the red point compared to the line on a laser level. The Green laser level is significantly better (in my opinion).
Someone said that that Amazon listing for the Wiha hammer if for 4 hammers or something. I haven’t went back and looked. If that case the pricing isn’t bad… but who needs 4 hammers 😂
The Wiha hammer, can be found for less than $200 for sure.
I got one off Amazon new for $80 Australian - and it is good for the size to fit in a bag
Or try Dewalt 12oz (strikes like a 20oz), has a decent size head and feels like a really good weight, also has straight claw
When I first saw the Wiha it was what I was looking for except the price… I may do some searching 👍
I have had that in my hands several times at Home Depot and nearly buying it. I think it’s a good option for a small bag too.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
I know this a old video but supco is sold at parts houses if you get yourself an account at the parts house and the oarts house prices are sonetimes better then amazon.
Occasionally you can beat pricing at the supply houses and box stores. I just keep my list on Amazon so it’s all in one place, makes it easier to keep. I don’t buy everything on Amazon.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
I got the mini cobras in my pocket right now!!
👍
So do I
I have my own wishlist on about four or five different tool websites
Me too 😂. I don’t have much Milwaukee in this one, Amazon doesn’t have a great selection of that. I usually have to go through Home Depot for that.
@@MORGANSMaintenance I have been burned before by unknowingly buying knock-offs from Amazon before it is extremely rare but does happen
@@randywheeler3914 yeah anything with a warranty like Veto or Milwaukee… I typically don’t chance it
I have the Crescent 19" Nail Puller, it's ok. Bulky and heavy, but good if you have to dig out a lot of nails from old drywall. Also have the JessEm Table Saw Guides - these are awesome and worth every penny. For CA glue I like FastCap brand, it's the only one I've found with a well-designed cap, doesn't dry out over time.
Added the FastCap to the list 👍.
I haven’t seen the JessEm in person… but what I’ve watched they seem like they would be awesome. For safety and quality.
I bought that MITREAPEL CA glue you have, the glue and accelerator worked fine, but the top of the glue bottle cracked and caused the glue to dry out after just a few uses. Be very careful with it, especially when screwing the cap on. Switched to FastCap after that and never had any issues.
@@riotgear6891 that was the only issue I had with the Bob Smith… and it wasn’t every bottle, just some of them (so it could have been me not paying attention when I put them up)
The Fast Cap price is pretty good too.
I have the Wera Kraftform Kompakt and absolutely love it!
That’s been in my list forever… I haven’t “needed” it… but I do want it. 👍
I look at it this way, even if it's just a want, it's also material for more content.
@@thriftstorelumberjack I know.. I was bad about buying too many tools before. Now I just tell myself, “you can make a video about it” 😂
Hurting the bank account..😂
The drill bit guide is worth it.
Appreciate it 👍
Not sure if you are a veteran or not, but if so, you can save 10% at Home Depot and Lowes on many things, like tools. I did a lot of upgrading of my tools this past year and saved a lot off many of them with that discount. Knipex, Klein, Toughbuilt, and so on. That SharkBite release tool is a bit more attractive at 10% off. On a hammer, I went with a Stiletto 10oz Titanium with 14.5" handle. Short enough to fit in my bag, light, but packs the punch of a heavier hammer. I was looking at that Wiha one (not for $220 though) but saw reviews of the claw breaking off.
Buying a $220 Hammer is like buying a $80,000 truck… makes it hard to use it for its intended purpose 😂
Do you have the shark bite release tool? I’ve been curious how well it works. The cheaper ones at Home Depot are ok… but not great. Looking at that one I can see where I think it would be better.
Im not a Veteran.. I am glad all these places give you guys discounts though, nice to see companies do that. Appreciate your service 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance I don't have the SharkBite tool yet. Got it sitting in my wish list for when it comes down in price, lol. It is hard to pay a lot for a hammer. $220 is way too much. If I wanted to spend that, I'd get a Martinez. Stiletto is a bit pricey at $100 with the hickory handle, but worth it to me (minus $10 with the veteran discount). My tool upgrade process was in line with having quality tools that I want to pass onto my sons at some point (both handy in their own rights, one is a Navy Seabee and the other an auto mechanic).
@@gpraceman I have two sons but my tools may die with me. Ones an Accountant and the other is still in school.. who knows, I started doing what a do a little later in life and found it to be a passion… there is always grandkids 😂
I bought my green bosch 165 blaze off ebay for less than $100 couple months ago. I miss placed mine. Waiting for it to surface again
Have you had a red and green? Is there a big difference. I know on the laser lines there is for me.
@MORGAN'S Maintenance I have a dewalt red laser, and I have the green bosch. Inside the green is better but when I was playing with it the green was hard to see outside.
@@TruckGuyHD92 👍. Appreciate it. That’s good info for people to know depending on what they do.
The red on a distance measurer isn’t as hard for me to see since it’s only one point, but the plane lasers it’s a big difference. I always wonder if the color is an individual thing as far as how well you can see it.
I’d honestly love to see you review some other brands like Doyle or Icon from harbor freight. They make knipex clones
Yeah I haven’t bought many of those. It’s rare I hit up Harbour Freight because it’s a weird location in my city I rarely go.
@@MORGANSMaintenance in my area, you can’t throw a rock without hitting one. But I love the way your reviews go and how much detail and specifics you delve into.
@@ChrisBranleh appreciate that.. I’m still learning, but I love talking about tools.
I Have some Doyle and Quinn hand tools from Harbor Freight. Bought them for an extra “to go” pouch for maintenance work instead of carrying my entire bag. I like them a lot so far. The cobra clones were all sold out when I went the past couple times.
If buying the Wera flex shaft screwdriver, I got the one with the thinner head, not the one with the conventional locking head. The thin one locks too, but it uses a unique mechanism. On a flex shaft, I'm not going for high torque, but instead improved clearance is the main issue to me.
I'd look at this one before buying the one with the bulkier head. I'll attempt to link a video at a relevant time stamp. th-cam.com/video/vsNcR8cz-QQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the suggestion and the link… added that one to the list. You are right, locking bit holders that are fatter sometimes are a problem. That’s why I prefer the Dewalt over Milwaukee for my impact bit holders.
Thanks again 👍
It appears that the Felo Bit Holder has been discontinued by the mfg.
Yeah I was thinking that may be the case… realized it made them not sell enough individual screwdrivers 😂.
I even searched eBay and couldn’t find one.
I think the field piece is better than testo
Based on watching people use them… I have kinda felt that way myself.
Order the Wiha hammer off of eBay. I got mine for around $75 shipped from England
I will check that out… I check eBay every now and then but I almost forget about it anymore. Used to buy and sell on there all the time.
How do you like it?
@@MORGANSMaintenance it's a pretty neat little hammer. I wouldn't buy it expecting to use it on a framing job
Yeah I don’t use hammers for any of that stuff anymore… it’s either screws or nailers…
Mostly just a small hammer to persuade stuff
@@MORGANSMaintenance work well for that
Cant figure out how to have Amazon notify when a price drops on an item. I have created a shopping list. Can you give me a brief direction of where to look to do this. Thanks
Mine doesn’t notify me… I’m just such a tool addict that’s what I scroll through instead of social media 😂.
My list just tell me if the price has dropped from when I added it to the list.
Home Depot sends me notifications.. but it’s hit/miss. Really random so you can’t rely on it
Question. Which one first? M12 Surge or M12 4-in-1 Installation Drill Driver? What say you?
That is actually a really hard choice. Really depends on what you do...If you find yourself not needing a 90 degree or offset head that often, I would go Surge and just use adapters those few times I need one.
The 90 degree on the Install Driver is way better than using an adapter though in my opinion... if you need one on a regular basis.
The Surge is much Quieter than a regular impact... but it also puts screws in different (in a better way)... I won't ever use a regular impact again. I bought the M12 and M18 Version.
I'm not sure I answered😂😂 ... but push come to shove... probably the Surge.
I prefer the ergonomics of the Installation Driver, If they could make a Surge shaped like the Installation Driver... now there you go
@@MORGANSMaintenance Thanks for your thoughts.👍🏼 That makes sense and helps.
That Kapro square isn’t good. Super hard to read and mine wasn’t square.
Thanks… I’m always leery buying a square I can’t check in person… and having it come in the mail.

Reekon is not worth it, dont buy you will regret it. Vessel torsion ball set is awesome
Is the Reekon not accurate? Or is the build quality not great? I wondered about both…
Thanks on the Vessel 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance build quality is ok, arm doesn't stay up when you need it. And you just spend way more time than you think managing it.
I have the green engineer pliers and love em
@@contax50mm 👍
De kwaliteit fan it maatband fan klein tool is net heul goed yn ferliking mei it nije maatband fan Dewei
I’m not sure what this says… except Klein Tool?
I hate Amazon.
👍
That Wiha hammer is actually a set of 4. So you get 4 of the same hammer for $220. Don't ask me why. It's a mystery.
Someone said that which makes the price make more sense.
Someone asked that question on the Amazon question and answers and people replied they only got one… but who knows, those people could have bought theirs before they changed it to a set of four.
Thanks 👍
