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.
I’m so intimidated by this, I’m a 34 year old father and I grew up without a man in the house so these skills were never passed down to me. As a new home owner I realize I’m severely lacking in these skills and how important basic handyman skills are wish me luck I’m going to start buying some tools.
I’d say just start slow, don’t rush to spend your money. This video is a good list of things to end up with in the end but you definitely don’t need to go out and buy it all at once. It may be less intimidating to start with some basic hand tools like the hammer, screwdrivers and pliers, maybe a hand saw. And a drill. Then add things when you find yourself needing them. Once you notice you’re doing a lot of screwing, add the impact driver. Doing a lot of cutting, add a circular/reciprocating saw. It’s unlikely you’re going to need these things in an emergency so there’s no benefit to buying them until you realise you need them. That way they don’t end up sitting in your cupboard intimidating you, you’ll buy it and go straight to using it. I’d also advise that when you look at power tools look at the entire line up. I’ve been caught out before when getting a good deal on an expensive brands drill/impact combo set, but their saws are way more expensive than other brands. Unless I want two battery systems I have no choice but to fork out the money for a more expensive saw than I need. As for actually doing the jobs and learning the skills there’s so many informative and helpful TH-cam videos on here, you’ll be able to find a video guide for pretty much anything you may want to do. Just stick within your comfort level and work slowly through more technical and difficult jobs. Once you have the tools you’ll likely find yourself looking for chances to use them.
I get it, same thing, single parent household, grew with my grandmother and my mom. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, they are inevitable. The thing that hindered my progress of learning these skills was mostly myself being afraid to try to fix different things. It’s ok, you might even break something, it’s in the process.
you’re not alone , i’m 28 and skills ain’t passed down to me too . i gotta go learn from a handyman , and lots of TH-cam and approaches . i’m here because i wanna do it as well !
TH-cam is probably the greatest resource for you for learning. In terms of tools, just buy the basics first and add from there. As jobs come up from then on, buy the tool required and you will have it going forward. You will have to WANT to learn these skills if you are to succeed. It is fun trust me and you get a great sense of accomplishment when you complete a job and know you don’t pay the money for someone to come out and do it for you.
Hey I relate to your comment and wanted to give you some pointers that have helped and I have mostly all here. Homedepot has a sale where i live that has dewalt and other brands has 2 combo set hammer drill and impact driver for $299 and get a free tool of your choice includes 2 batery. Perfect to start. In sams the worx nitro profesional 42 piece hand tool set has most of the things mentioned here and used it recently and works like a charm. Ryobi bits for the drills is what i been using. And craftmans 200+ mecanics piece set is on sale that i got is what i been using as well. Slowly learning asking God for wisdom.
Bosch doesn't have a strong market share in America. Other brands make the same tools for cheaper cost, that work just as well. Especially for most people in the states that are Johnny homeowner or DIYers. You can get by with kobalt rigid Ryobi all three brands have pretty much the basics for less money. Circular saw reciprocating saw hammer drill driver impact driver low mid and high torque impact wrenches jigsaw grinder and even subcompact sizes I'm team orange and they work great. That new brushless line from Ridgid out performs some of the more expensive brands. They put pretty decent motors in them now. They even share some of the same motors with the Ryobi HP line. Just comes down to what battery collection you got.
@@Techprep23They’re not as popular partly because you only get the blue Bosch Professional tools in the USA. Here in Australia we have Bosch DIY which is a dark green, as well as Bosch Professional. They tend to be cheaper than Ryobi even, which are already in the lower end of the price brackets.
@@MarioGoatse I wouldn't mind getting Bosch Johnny homeowner / DIY version of stuff. Because I am that Johnny homeowner DIYer. And with a name like Bosch it may not be the most powerful but you know that shit will last. Because Ryobi is okay their tools aren't bad it's the batteries and the chargers that are atrocious and have been for years. And Ryobi thought it would be a great idea to kill the three amp hour battery just like rigid did. Honestly what are you going to do with a two amp hour battery on an impact driver absolutely nothing Even on the 12 volt tool I have the DeWalt Xtreme 12 volts and the two amp hour batteries are dog shit you put a three or a 5 amp hour 12 volt battery on it and they really come to life and they are really decent tools for 12 volt. My only complaint with Bosch 12 volt tools is they put the battery in the handle like Milwaukee's 12 volt fuel line I'm much prefer the thinner grip in the slide under batteries like everybody's 18 volt tools
@@Techprep23the biggest issue with many tool brands is kobalt gives pro grade performance with a 5 year warranty for ryobi prices. Ridgid also offers an lsa on all tools which makes them pro grade by default
@@james2042 that's why my entire 18 volt lineup is rigid. I register everything online for the LSA they've already warranted out two batteries for me and they fixed two of my impact drivers under warranty. I went with them originally not only for the LSA but because they're made by TTI that makes Milwaukee not only were they cheaper than Milwaukee but they offered the tools that I would need and what I do at a price I can't really argue with. You get pretty good power to dollar ratio unlike other brands like Makita. I paid $60 on clearance for their new brushless 3-speed with self tapping mode 2300 inch pound impact driver. Their subcompact lineup is pretty sweet. I have the octane brushless mid torque impact wrench works beautifully I have their older gen 5x tools I got on sale for $250 in a five piece combo kit. Circular saw reciprocating saw impact driver hammer drill driver and a flashlight two four amp hour batteries and their 5 amp charger. Yes they're brushed tools but for what I do they work perfectly fine. I have the subcompact 3/8 drive subcompact reciprocating saw they are 3 in cut off wheel their new brushless grinder. A myriad of batteries a lot of them are octane 3 amp hour batteries I have zero complaints about any of the tools. I have their new brushless hammer drill driver that's 1200 inch pounds basically the same thing as the Milwaukee gen 3 which I got for free with one of their battery promos and it also has that auto shut off if the drill starts to kick out it automatically shuts off no more taking a 6 amp hour battery to the forehead.
Thank you! I was actually making a list of the tools I need for my collection/ Like cable cutters and crimps. Also, clamps and various squares. I'm building my own kits so whenever a workman comes to do work I have my tools. Most times they don't have them.
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
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
I use Tough Built open top bag with tech clips to enhance my moat used tools and the XL bag on rollers for big jobs. Don't forget the clamp meter. I'm 80 years old and some tools I've had for 50 years. 😊
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.
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. 😌
One of the most important tools to have in your house or office and no one talks about it is a Work Bench!!! Without a good and proper work Bench your back will be hurt every time you need to work on someting. I would strongly recomend to buy a dremel 4000 like model. You can do a lot with this tool. And never forget about a crowbar
To be fair Milwaukee doesn't sell anything *bad* that I have seen; they're not always the best and they can sometimes be pricey but it's never a regretful purchase
I own both. I've used my Sawzall many times. My angle grinder I used to sharpen my lawn mower blade once and haven't touched it since. Got both in a kit at the same time
@@james2042 Angle grinder for sharpening blades? Kinda weird if you ask me but if it worked... I am the complete opposite. Also own both (even multiple) but the sawzall collects dust most of the time. Maybe its different in the US with all the wooden houses?
@@JiriMachovec yeah in the US, so wood is everywhere. There's a reason why woodworking and carpentry tools are staples in every contractors box in the US. You need special contractors when you don't have a wooden house lol
@@james2042 I mainly work on cars but my house from 1886 is built with stones in the bottom floor and bricks on top. Almost no wood other than the rafters or whatever the structure for the roof is called. We use angle grinders not only for grinding but also for cutting all kinds of metal, rebar, stone, concrete bricks, pavers and tile. So its much more convenient for me than a sawzall. I even own multiple just so I dont have to switch blades so often. I have one for cutting, one for grinding and another one for a wire wheel lol. The sawzall probably does make more sense in your context though. I would preffers a different kind of saw for anything bu demolition work though. Either a circular saw, jig saw or maybe even a chainsaw. I guess I just do not like it very much...
@@JiriMachovec the reason recips are so useful is they are a big multi tool. Wood, (thin) metal, rebar, pipe, conduit. I've cut up bushes, pvc pipe, furniture, metal framing, nail embedded wood, and drywall with mine. For cutting bricks and masonry, I'm using a wet saw and for demo in masonry I'm using a rotary hammer. For cars a grinder makes perfect sense, I use a die grinder for my automotive use. I would say the 4.5-5 inch is too big.
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!!
Flex invented the angle grinder in 1935. It's a German company that has produced tools for a century now (founded in 1922). In Germany, angle grinders are colloquially referred to as "die Flex", although Flex makes more than angle grinders.
Flex was a very small tool company that the brand got picked up by chevron in like 22 and they started shitting out pro grade tools using kobalts 24v tech to boot and developing from there (kobalt 24v is made by chevron). Personally I think kobalt xtr was a test run for flex
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
Yah, their advice on hammers was a bit over the top. 20oz Estwing or Dewalt for five bucks at a garage sale would work. Most homeowners couldn't even swing a legit framing hammer. On the other hand, there is nothing worse than those el-cheapo hammers that can barely drive a nail to hang a picture.
