The one tool I can’t live without is my impact driver!! Even more then my hammer drill!!
Have used mine for cabinetry, light fixtures, automotive, snow blower, on and on. Plus their bit sets are 👍
Amen brotha! I used it to secure a ford fitting outside
Yup same
I disagree you can always make your hammer drill into a impact but not the other way around
@@trevorm772 I won't choose one over the other. I NEED both. But my Impact looks alot older than my hammer drill. It sets tapcons and drills forstners pretty much exclusively
Impact driver. Hands down. Use it on almost everything I do
This guy brings so much joy to the world. And knowledge too. Love this channel
You should add a Shop Vac to that list! You can be the best contractor in the world but if you leave the home a dusty dirty mess then you're probably not getting rehired
#FACTS
When I was a teenager, I used a John Deere 21SP to mow the lawns of many of my neighbors' homes. The secret for high productivity was a self-propelled, collecting basket with a top feeler and a converted bicycle trailer for quick transport in town. As a teenager, I always had money in my pocket and I learned a lot about negotiating that helps me today! With best regards from Bavaria, Germany.
Reciprocating saw, circular saw, oscillating tool, impact. These are the top 4
I swear half the projects I do could be done better with a table saw. One of the few tools I still regret not having. That and a planer. But Christ I've already well on the way of filling a shed full of power tools. I might be getting divorced if I show up with another $600 tool in the back of the truck.
@@superdave8248 tools pay for themselves. Took my wife a while to get that. Now she just says “that looks expensive” and I usually respond “it was and but it’ll make me much more than it cost “ and then she say “great” with a smile
The DeWalt table saw is hands down the best that I've used and I've used them all. The rack and pinion track makes it incredibly precise.
Been in the trades for years . Switched over to dewalt 10 yrs ago. I literally have over 70% of every Dewalt tool made and went totally cordless w/ a majority of all my hand tools . Literally have multiple 10" table saws, 12" slide compounds ect... due to multiple jobsites and shop. Their warranties have been exceptional.
I knew you was going to say a pressure washer was the #1 tool! When you said you could start making money right away with just this one tool, I knew. How? Because I have one and have done it!
Excellent excellent video, love that you have included many great tips and advices, not just trying to sell the tools. Would love a part 2 of this series! Heck, even part 3, 4... you get the idea.
Don't sleep on the pressure washer. I don't have this exact one, but I was doing my driveway and patio, and the neighbor next door offered me 200 to do her deck. Literally paying for itself immediately. The oscillating multi tool is an absolute must have as well.
Agreed completely. People love to pay a guy with a pressure washer. Gonna actually start up a small operation here soon doing it around town for some extra money.
I'm buying the pressure washer this summer. Along with the battery only pressure washer for the small things.
I love DeWalt, my favorite. I am new to your channel but from what I have seen so far you are going to teach me a lot. I look forward to more of your videos.
For me there were 3 tools that standalone made me money , the chainsaw , the Impact wrench/driver, and the angle grinder ( which I have used as a sander polisher and even attached circular saw blades to to do things in a pinch ) and I have since found sawzalls and hammer drills to be very useful moneymakers on their own , however the one thing that's made me the most money is my truck
Guy I used to work for put circular saw blade on a grinder to cut a jamb "in a pinch" as we didn't have the jamb saw or multitool with us. It kicked on him, went into forearm and then dropped it on is leg. One of worst things I've ever seen.
@danielbonner8309 absolutely agree it was definitely an unintelligent move luckily I learned my lesson without getting hurt and only use a grinder as a grinder anymore
@@joehertel8846 Good man.
Thanks Vince, at first I was skeptical about the pressure washer being number one, but your right it can pay itself off in hours if you really wanted too
Thanks for this video.
Lots of good stuff.
And thanks for making the saw decision understandable.
Holy hell that Dewalt saw is massive. Both of them. O love my 8 ¼ dewalt. Quality units
I always appreciate your insight on the industry
This is spot on. I bought all of these tools except the pressure washer in April of last year to start my own remodeling business and they have all paid for themselves twice over by now. The multi tool, oddly enough, is my favorite. So many uses. That pressure washer has been on the radar for half a year or so, but I will probably get a Dewalt pressure washer with a minimum of 4gpm, which unfortunately they don’t make one with battery start, self choke and all the other bells and whistles as this one. This list is definitely approved.
Thanks for the feedback Eric we appreciate it!
@VCGConstruction awesome video! My grandfather of 88 years (who you might not believe it or not but I’ll show videos) is still doing trim carpentry and flooring always carried his skilsaw Circular saw, a plumb 16 oz hammer, a dewalt 12” miter saw. No matter what the job whether he was stretching carpet and laying it or repairing flooring he always carried those things. AND in true Vince fashion he believed skilsaw was the only circular saw. He bought Makitas newest Circular saw and he loves that, he says skilsaw is too heavy for him now. Lol. Love the videos Vince! Glad to be a part of this community.
@.VCGConstruction and like you said, he always said “if you’re gonna buy tools spend the money for something that’s going to get the job done right!”
Thanks Faith we Appreciate the feedback and make sure to tell your grandfather hello!
@@VCGConstruction will do! VCG rocks!
Smart list , very insightful , and ofc appreciated ! Ty VCG !
Love you brother! Well Done. This is something everyone needs to see.
Thank you Ronnie mac!
I just bought my first Dewalt tool (oscillating tool kit) because of this episode! Thank you for always sharing!!
Great list. My wife's uncle has started a contractor business and have thought about leaving my current job and working for him. This just makes me want it more. Dang you Vince.
All depending on your job. If it's just a job, and not a career I say go for it
Absolutely useful powertools... #2 is my dream... Wish I could have it, thank you very much Vince 🙏🏼😁
I just got the DWS780 and I love it! Built a picnic table just for fun before I start my master bath renovation and my basement build.
That is awesome!
Their drywall automatic screw gun I use it one wood fences saves so much time
Great list! Didn’t see the pressure washer coming but it makes sense! Well done! 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍zzmalone!!
Been watching your videos for a while; first time commenting/questioning though. First off: THANK YOU!!! Soooooo much great advice and info - and humor, SO well presented! I grew up in South Jersey (Gloucester County), joined military and departed in late '89, and still miss the whole Delaware Valley area: Jersey pines, tomatoes and corn, Philly - especially the history (birthplace of the nation!!!), the Flyers, concerts, WMMR - you get me. I'm retired from the military and living in the Georgia pines (and oaks, maples, magnolias,etc.), but seeing you and hearing you speak absolutely transports me right back there - like I'm listening to guys I grew up with. My Dad was an HVAC guy (a damn good one) and one helluva wrench that prob made as much or more wrenchin' bikes (Harleys only) from our home garage. He always told me, and taught me by example, to not just do the job right but do it right the first time, to save time and money and simply be a professional. So, I love hands-on, hard, honest, productive work that one can live off of and be proud of, and I love all those who work that way, that do that work. He passed away some years ago but I've no doubt that, were he still with us, he and I would be talking about your latest videos/advice - he'd have liked you and your crew a lot! ... Well, sorry to ramble on, LOL. Really wanted to thank you - MUCH - for keeping us in the know, brother! I'm mainly DIY, with some side-hustle work. I've got 4 of these already, 2-5, just need to acquire No. 1 now. One off-topic question: What brand boots/shoes are those that you're sportin' in this video? Steel toe beneath the rubber? In fact, have you done recommendation(s) for boots/shoes? If so, what's the link? If not, might you consider doing one? Again, my many, MANY thanks for all of your awesome videos and info!!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Bill! Glad we could help bring back some memories, in the video I am wearing Helly Hanson work shoes and Nike boots.
@@VCGConstruction Copy that! Many Thanks!!!
Perfect list. I invested 4 of the 5. All but the oscillator. New and just sitting around. Love video
Great thinking, great talking, great list.
Now I know where my friend got the idea with the pressure washer bussiness.
Nice video.
Even as a DIYer, I need this pressure washer. Thanks for another great video. Peace and Blessings
👍🏻
Dude... Fantastic content. Engaging, informative and the cherry on top is your accent!
I bought the 4000 psi Dewalt pressure washer to save me money, made my own water jetter with hoses from grainger and a ridgid nossle .. just from 3 uses paid for itself vs renting, plus I got a great pressure washer out if it
Well done Vince for explaining about the top 5 Must buys, what choices (from each tool and cost differences to being a "self" contractor, how time is a factor getting tools on the job to loading it back home etc.....) , how the "Pressure Washer" tool only can make you tons of cash doing multiple usr of it making money (my favorite go to tool when needing to maake cash asap),. As always Vince, awesome job on this topic and video. Thx, for your knowledge,your Hard work making these videos and Dedication. I have learned so much from many of them. God Bless my Brother...Jeff
Great list Vince!
Pretty darn good list I'm gonna grab em all except the miter saw cuz I like the bosch 12"
A Extra firm 2 1/2 straight brush, a roller hadle, a extension pole and couple of drop clothes is how I started my empire ( not really an empire yet) and now I own everyone of those tools Vince mentioned in the video and more.
Dont forget dewalts tile saw, seems to be the go to right now professionally
That mutter saw was awesome! DeWalt makes some of the coolest mutter saws out there! 👍😎
I agree with you. I think your right. I guessed most all 5 correctly. Handy man here.
I have the brushless 1/4 impact, router, jigsaw, and some minor stuff like speed square, ratcheting driver and a bunch of bit sets. DeWalt is absolutely incredible, really want that jobsite table saw.
Have every tool in ur list. Love the content bro # Dewalt 4 life
Great list! I have all of those!
Great list.
welder, ive been able to weld on the weekends for cash on small projects like trailer kit, small steel boat repairs, lots of lawn mower decks on riding mowers, making bbq grills. tons of small jobs that i can do in a few hours on the weekend.
As a starting contractor, a drill and circular saw is how I started… I evolved into painting and staining, power washer is a money maker, important part is keep learning and upgrading tools as you need them…. All of sudden you will be 20 years deep and thinking how did I get started.. for all the newbies, you will find work from roofing contractors…. Don’t worry about homeowners
Circular saw, drill, multitool, 4.5 inch grinder, miter saw
I started with those and ran up a lot checks
Great list
I got to say I like the thinking behind the number 1 pick
People don’t realize how dirty their sidewalk / porch / patio / drove way is until it gets pressure washed.
Love a good pressure washer....... last spring Lowe’s was blowing out a craftsman with the Honda engine washer, got it for like half price.
I like the way talks about getting right to the point.
Great list. Love number 1.
Glad you enjoyed it
One thing about the pressure washer from dewault is i've heard alot of people having issues with the pumps/outlets of them and alot of negative reviews. however it could have been just a specific model that i was reading on.
But i agree with you, pressure washers are something you can make money off of with that unit alone. just needs to be reliable as possible especially if you're pressure washing alot.
Which table saw would you recommend for the DYIer? BTW, love your channel. Rock on! Thank you.
Just bought my first ever house and have been upgrading my tools from lower end brands all to dewalt xr line. I will say I never had an impact driver before. I always just used a drill. I feel so stupid because of how much more efficient the driver is. For the type of stuff I typically do I don’t even need it’s top speed. But definitely a must have is the impact driver just for the time saving
I felt the same way, like I was literally speechless at how useful and compact an impact driver was. The first one I picked up was DEWALT’s DCF887 and it was love at first sight and use. Definitely game changers 👍🏽
wicked video vince!
My Hobart welder 145 love it
We started with a drill a saw and basic hand tool and knowledge. Still remember putting base molding with a hammer and finishing nails.
Thanks to this channel I became a tool addict .
Great video
@verycoolgang “time is money” tried & true. The other one I heard a lot growing up around residential construction was “you’ve got a dime holding up a dollar”. Sometimes we spend so much time hemming and hawing over what might be a 5-10% difference in price or performance that those hours spent could have made you more $. What’s great now days is we don’t just have to rely on word of mouth and have people such as yourself that have done the research, done the real world testing and provide us with that info. Although, it’s still easy to go down the rabbit hole and spend weeks watching videos so best advice for all find 1-3 reviewers that you like on TH-cam or similar and go with anything in their top 3 picks. Thank You for what you do.
Efficiency is a must and that covers a broad spectrum organization is key!!!
I love my Dewalt 20v max jigsaw.
2 tools. Simpson 3200 pressure washer with honda 190. Used for 3 years to start my pressure washing business.. and the Graco magnum x7! Used for my first 2 years of exterior painting.
Love the list. I would have to include the DeWalt EV mower.
I got the dewalt miter saw 799 for $350 this last holiday season. Definitely my favorite purchase.
Keep up the great advice VCG👍
Right on Redline 1776!
It's a great list
@VCGConstruction I think you nailed it with the pressure washer! That is the one tool on the list that you can literally make money with one single tool! Keep up the good work and good deals. Still waiting for a deal on the DeWalt flexvolt worm drive style circular saw. But I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay the full price 🤢😂!
This man is brilliant you need to listen to him I like him I've been in the industry for 37 years he knows what he's talking about
Definitely a good video. Very helpful.
Glad you think so!
i use a saw stop jobsite saw, a high end cabinet saw, and i own a delta shop saw. I have used that dewalt table saw for about 40 hrs over a month and was very impressed on the accuracy and ease of use. it may take a little tuning to get it cutting right, but thats all saws. the only thing i would worry about is tossing it around with that adjustment rail and the saw loosing zero or breaking.
Love the list... I was thinking a wet saw...
Love the show. Im just not sure if I’m buying tool to work or am I working to buy tool 😲
I like the pressure washer idea! I was thinking 60 volt reciprocating saw but yes the PW would be easy money!!!
Thx
I agree with your list only thing I would have changed was the kit with the hammerhead drill and the impact. You get more bang for your buck on it! I agree with everything though!
I, love my power detect .
Impact driver my favorite tool
A DeWalt video and no Nick! Boy most have gotten grounded. LOL
😂😂😂😂👍
Craftsman owns dewalt and has the same quality of tools
@@jasonbuth137 Stanley Black & Decker
I have 3 of the top 5 listed but I use My Dewalt 887 impact driver more then any other tool !
The 15' 8" polesaw $150 + battery. Can run 6 hours of work on a 6ah battery. Made $350 on my first job with it
Impact driver is a must have
I use the flexvolt advantage it is a beast I would recommend that drill over any other
#5 is probably my #1
New DeWalt 8 1/4 can rip 4 x 8s with the full 25 inch rip now vs the old 20. Do you still recommendation the 10" version? How often are you ripping anything larger than a 4 x 8 or thicker than 8 1/4 can handle? It's cheaper and more portable but don't want to replace it down the line because I'm limited. Thanks!
Learned from my passed employers to buy the table saw with the rolling stand, save your back you only got one!
My impact driver and cordless saws are my main go to’s ..... I hardly use any corded tools these days and the ones I do use at job sites I power with my small Honda Generator
Great information Vince 😎
Thanks for watching!
Love the video just wish he had mentioned you can upgrade your dws779 at anytime and add what I believe the only big difference is between the 779 and the 780 that XPS system led light for around 60-70$ bucks.
Ps don’t forget to smash the like!

I'm a big fan of DeWalt tools . For years I have been buying DeWalt tools. I a Porter Cable 7 1/4 circular saw corded . a Milwaukee 1/2 hammer drill quick lock cord. I do look quick lock cords.
A top tools to have for the homeowner/diyer? So many we have for our work but what should buy duplicates of for the house
@VCG CONSTRUCTION Not a bad list at all VINCE .. never really thought of the pressure washer in that aspect definitely got my wheels turning since I have all the other tools ×10 my only ryobi tool is my corder pressure washer say I need to climb under a house I might hit with pressure washer the day before but I can walk down the street with it I must say that
Great list vince. I started my business in Miami with a pressure washer and later became a General Contractor. So I completely agree that you can start with so very little and make it.
Later I was badly injured, and lost it all, but its doable with a pressure washer. I made thousands per week using only the pressure washer. Slowly I took job after job in addition to pressure washing, and built up slowly.
So I could not agree more
Great video, great advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Drill number 1
Sawzall number 2
Circular saw number 3
Hammerdrill/chipping hammer number 4
The multi tool number 5 (though I’ve never owned one, but it does seem kinda handy. Especially stuff like flooring and sanding.)
My Dewalt cordless 30° nailer. Best 400 I spent recently. Use it extensively. Just used it today for a quick fence repair, 40 bucks for about a 20 minute service call on my way home.
That thing sucks. I've had 3. The Milwaukee 18g and framing and the best on the market now and you can buy a battery adapter to use any brand.
Love it!
Thanks!!
That's one awesome pressure washer, haven't seen that one yet, I have 2-5!
