MY TOOL PANTS amzn.to/2VqOkYl
I've always worn a tool belt, Ive been through a couple of them now. It was only recently that I tried out tool pants as an alternative way to carry my tools on the job.

With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
Just binge watched from the first to this episode over 3 days and had to comment for the first time on how genuinely excited you were about that hot tip on the extra blocking for the seat. Made my day, thanks 😂
The song playing in the background is a sample of a 50s swedish song called Sjömansjul på Hawaii (Seaman´s christmas on Hawaii).
Yeah, I was surprised to hear Swedish on here lol
Hahaha i heard it too!!
Fan du hann före!
I thought i heard swedish
Vi är tydligen ett gäng här
Nice videos mate! I work as a carpenter in scandinavia and i wear those pants for the kneepads and a carpenters vest with hanging pockets for framing, works great for me. Comes down to whatever you're used to.
Thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot.
I really love the grain extending across the black gaps. Beautiful!
I love the way the wood on that decking (D-king... kills me every time) looks.
Snickers workwear are the norm here in Ireland. They are expensive but worth every penny and they are the best for knee protection !
shoutout for the swedes eh ;) but yeh snickers are really good, blåkläder (or blaklader in some foreign languages) are good to. That said here in sweden the work clothes are not seen as that expensive (when compared to regular clothes, they are still expensive). Mostly because the base price of regular clothes are high so they often time don't have the same price jump I have seen in some other countries.
yes, here in Belgium snickers is also one of the top brands. But Blacklader is also one of the best brands!
I bought the starrett angle finder also from finish carpentry TV’s recommendation. Tried it out last weekend, what a great tool. Keep up the good work guys!👍🏻
Here I am, casually watching some episodes. All of a sudden in the background music there's a lady singen in swedish - which is where i'm from :) Anyways, thanks for the super nice content mate. Used to work as builder for a couple of years with a guy from New Zealand. Brings back memories!
Cheers
Wow thanks for the mention brother!
Cheers for the tool tip bro! It's a good one
Miter tool is pro... “Finish Carpentry” stair vid was insane...Cool to see the tool here.. Def getting one now
Love the work you guys do keep them coming
Does this mean Blåkläder trousers in The Lone Star State?
I sub to both of you Gents. Great channels, and inspires me to do it to and share some love
loved the "mind blown" spin shot paerau did. Bloody on to it that one.
My favorite is the samurai carpenter vest, good for finish work and when it's not hot outside.
Love the work you guys do keep them coming
I have the 7 bag framer for the rough stuff and the finishing vest for the rest both from Occidental Leather. The slim profile of the vest is great for working in an almost completed home.
Always enjoy watching your vids bro, good work.
Scott, you can get short versions of those pants. You can even get a version that keeps the knee pads and just loses the material below that.
You and your partner do great work. I enjoyed watching this.
I left England to work in Canada as a carpenter but I should have skipped that and come to work for you guys in New Zealand!
Scottish carpenter here. I use a belt when I'm framing and "tool pants" the rest of the time. In fact the same scruffs as you're using. Like you say, easier to move around in and the knee pads are great.
Im a chippy in ireland i gave up on belt 10yrs ago have the pants with pockets . Also in shorts version minus the knee pads obviously. Love ur videos i also love finish carpentry tv hes given me some good tips
I got that angle finder from finish carpentry TV too, love that hah.
Great video, especially on when to wear a belt/work pants.
Ive been in construction for the last 14 years or so and it seems like a lot of guys in the trade don't understand what you mention about wearing a tool belt vs damaging finished products.
It just makes you look stupid, and everyone that sees it knows you are. I worked in an occupied college where a younger guy thought he looked cool with a 7 1/4 circular saw hanging off his pouch. I found this out when I was in a later elevator and one of the professors asked me to talk with "the young guy with a saw hanging off his side and banging into everything."
In situations like these I prefer to carry a tool bag with a shoulder strap. Ive never had a pair of pants like that but it looks like a great idea so I stop putting holes in my sweaters from screws/nails/whatever.
Great video.
Mate great videos. I'm here over in Sweden working technical insulation and lite sheet metal. At first thought the builders pants were strange but after a little bit of time I don't know how to work without them. Only down side for me is if there is a little bit to much weight in them you need keep pulling them up or get suspenders
Both, the work pants I wear don’t have the small tool pouches on the thighs for screws but have the knee pad inserts and all the extra pockets
Interesting why you use your Tool Belt and your pants!! Both versatile and necessary. Also the Deck looks great 👍😎
Love my work pant with built in knee cushions. It's been a game changer
In Finland everybody uses workpants at all times and some carpenters might use toolbelt when they need to. I use workpants everyday and use the belt when i need more than 2 or 3 handtools ”at the same time”. Good video and a nice looking deck!
Great video from Kentucky in America .starting my own privacy fence business and definitely checking on those pants
Well now we need a review of the tool vest!
nice job. you can get work shorts strauss and snickers both do them, never tried them myself though. also I never bother taking my knee pads out just i have them in every pair of trousers
As you said, In the UK we always wear work trousers / safety trousers. Purely as a Roofing and Carpentry Apprentice it comes in handy for knee pads and holding Claw Hammers, Nail Guns and Screws.
same in sweden, tool belts are noticeably more common in the summer however (work shorts are lacking in pockets).
Jeez that was accurate when he cut that piece to fit snugly over the railing posts. Top work.
I like the Fest tools in the back ground. Didnt even have to see the name to notice them. I just bought the oxy pro framer. I bought the ocy 5522 for finish work etc. That just hookes on your pants to hold measuring tape chisels etc.
Love your carpentry and video work. Without a doubt, the best music tailored to the action.I am however constantly worried about your van getting stolen. I hope its parked in a garage at night. Stay safe....from Canada🇨🇦
Tool belt all the time for me! Framing setup for general carpentry, ladder work, drywall and electrical. I wear my tool belt even for decking tops. Force of habit but I do remove the puller, hammer, combi square and others when doing that type of work.
Another belt setup with small fastener pouch, smaller tool holder, and high mount hammer holder for lived-in, after paint and finish carpentry work. Hammer is removed for baseboard work. Both pouches can be moved to the back of the belt when kneeling. I hate pulling or pushing on tool buckets and totes so a smaller tool belt better serves me!
Oh, and an apron for in-shop dust propelling work! Don't forget the ever useful, under appreciated apron!
In the US, some states require it most do not, but it is considered "accepted practice," when attaching frames to a post, to notch out the post so that the frame fits sits on top of the post material so that it and the weight on the frame is supported by the post and not supported by only the fasteners. More work but far sturdier and safe.
It's awesome that you are rocking an old Swedish song in the background! :D
I'm a recent convert to tool pants and love them.. I can't stand wearing a big belt and am lucky that most of the jobs I've had I haven't needed to wear one - at the most I have a single 3-section pouch and a separate Kuny's hammer loop on my belt (I also hate having a hammer handle whacking the side of my knee). The last ones I bought are by Herock and I got them thru Lee Valley in Canada. The best thing about them is that you can zip off the waist pouches so you can drive home at the end of the day without accidentally dumping everything you have in them into your seat. They've been super hard-wearing and also have knee pad inserts that make low-level work a joy - I also hate the way regular knee pads cut into the tendons in the back of your knee.. these stay in and I don't even notice them when I'm doing other stuff
nice work on the Deck, I really like the work trousers, I think i need those more thanthe belt. Thanks for the video
I use the full rig for framing, and for other things I use a belt and a single leather pocket, it is large enough you can put hammers in it or even some nail guns. It could probably be improved with segmentations and stuff, but eventually one is back to a tool belt.
Fabulous tool trousers
Good stuff , love your channel bud.
I started working as an Adult Apprentice Carpenter here in Auckland two years ago and I cannot recall one day where I wasn't wearing shorts and a t-shirt. In the wet or cold I do put an extra layer on top (usually a polo shirt or polarfleece) but never long pants. They are too restrictive and would get either wet or covered in mud/concrete.
Snickers work trousers all the way nothing comes close , had the floor layers that are good for winter and the flexiwork that are light weight and better during summer when not wearing shorts wouldn’t use anything else even though they are £80 they are worth it !!
Road workers in Sweden (doing paving and such) who mostly work during the summers often wear either work shorts or even work kilts. Good ventilation :D
Hey brother love your work and channel. The festool kapex has a angle finder that comes with the saw, which is stored on board the saw.
Works great too
i use Helly Hansen magni stretch workpants for work. they are the best iv`e ever used. pricey but amazing
Definitely depends on the situation, as you mentioned Scott. If you're framing; belt or vest - hands down. I have an Occidental framing rig with webbing(shoulder straps) and it holds everything. On the bench I wear a little Dewalt multi-tool holder(tape, pullers, glazing bar, 6" Combo square, marker and spring nail set) along with my Occidental three pouch with a mouse clip, for easy on off. holds a speed square, chalk line, two sizes of screw and space for a scrap of wood with dimensions or notepad. and finally a pouch for my low angle block plane. The hammer benches this one out... sorry for the novel and horrible pun. never tried the pants but I know loads of fellas who swear by them.. I prefer a pair of levi's myself. cheers pal.
Nice work man
Paerau enjoying his new hoody, churr cuzzie
I just bought a tool vest from Atlas 45 and it works pretty well.
Hey Scott, your videos are so helpful for me. Could you tell me where can find the kneens pad for this pants? Thanks!
Work belt for sure! Sick videos ❤️
I have always used swedish snickers pants. They dont make hanging pocket of two same size pieces but outer piece is larger making pocket stay always open. And i use carpenter model with extra big pockets to fit nail strips.
In the UK I wear a small belt with shorts for the summer and my trousers when the winter comes
Great vid, Scott! Fun fact: the background song with the "Hawaian theme" is a Swedish song and the singer sings about spending christmas in Hawaii. All the best //J
I would love to apprentice under a good guy like this.
Very tidy. Nice work.
scott we have a 90s built colonial style weatherboard house in Akl built on poles (about 1m off the ground). I've noticed that there's quite a lot of "bounce" to the floor; ie when someone is walking around you can feel the "bounce". Passed a building inspection so I presume there aren't any major structural problems.
Is there a simple fix to this or will this require major work?
I haven't worn a tool belt for years. I work in carpenters pants, as you call them. In fairness, I have a custom furniture and cabinet company. But I have mini attachments for my tools if I need to carry them around. I also wear an apron at times.
I like them at most for the safety to the customers home.
Hey Scott, love your Channel! Got a Question for your "hot little tip" though: Why didn't you just screw the additional piece of scrap wood not from the other side (I.e. the backside) without having to drill holes in the framing? Is there a specific reason for choosing drilling from the front?
Luv ya channel, mate! Best regards from Germany!
I got some dewalt work trousers £25 , I have also got the dewalt work shorts for summer , still got the extra pockets.
Hi
Here in England I gave up the belt 20 years ago
Hate them
Those work trousers normally cost around £30
Been a carpenter for 45 years and seen many changes especially in the kit we need
All onsite joinery these days
Keep up the good work
David in Somerset
There is also work shorts that you can wear in summer.
Recognized the swedish christmas music in your video :D
Work shorts in summer, same pockets as work trousers but missing bottom half of legs. Sorted.
Always use work pants, never tried a work belt, but can see if could be useful. Nice decking guys
scruff work pants are the best cant live without them knees pads get a good pair must have
they do a shorts version of those work trousers in the uk, they also do a slightly longer version that can take knee pads
Spent a year down in NZ, but still canmot tell the kiwi and ozzy accents apart. But when I heard you saying the word "deck" I was 100%sure, thanks to the awesome Shaeffers deck sealant commercials!
Here in Scotland we just call them trousers and everyone wears them in combo with a belt even a couple guys with the same setup as Scott!!
What are those yellow gloves your wearing ?? Brand ? I’m always looking a good tight fitting pair. I’m an electrical apprentice :) thank you
Hay scott can you buy those pants in nz? Have seen the vests on line not sure tho.
What do you use for the pop up tent you have outside?
These beats in the background are fire brother! Were might i find this type of music
Both FTW.
The first thing I do with tool pants is cut off those external pockets. They impede access to normal pockets, try to turn inside out. They seem like they are not designed for access with normal hands and are impossible with gloves on. They also interfere with the tool belt. They are good however for the side pockets and knee pads.
You can also replace individual pockets on a tool belt as they wear out and configure it for specific jobs. The range of pockets and tool holders is great with screw/nail pockets that you can use in cold weather with gloved hands.
As an electrician in the UK I yse a combination of the trousers and the belt. I always have the trousers on but if I'm doing a job with that needs different types of fixings and clips or alot of tools the belt goes on
love the work pants but they are pricey. I sweat where I work since I live in a humid climate which means I need a pair for each work day. What do most of the other guys do?
To get your tip out the impact slam it down to force the bit strait back in. I stab mine into the gypcrete but anything works. I had a buddy who hit it in with a hammer. It just jars it loose.
I see now you did that. But why not just screw from the other side?
I can see where the angle finder may have a use on this one but what was it? 17° on the deck boards. Close? Recut and angle stays the same..
Here in Northern Ireland we were snickers work trousers and tool belts at the same time
What kind of nails do you use the heads look different from what we use in the U.S.
As someone working in the uk, I would the "tool pants" are so popular due to the ease of wearing the knee pad inserts than down to the actual practical use of all the extra pockets
and also cos our weather is shit a lot there just comfy
What are the braces you got to hold the belt up ? Thanks.
Fun fact of the day, the song is in swedish and sounds like it´s from the 60´s. But obviously remixed. Good vid!
How do you like that kapex vs your dewalt?
The Kapex has better angle adjustment and the blade change is great. Other than that I'd say they offer the same thing. My first impressions anyway. I know one thing though, if I bought a Kapex Id stick with the Dewalt work stand lol
Scott Brown Carpentry awesome good to know
In the Netherlands we wear the pants and a toolbelt most of the time
Please do a video on how you make those benches in a deck like that
i painted my tool belt, pink...along w/ all my tools too~
I'm in the UK and have always had a tool belt, but with smaller pouches. Those trousers are ok, but the pockets are just a bit too small i find, so my pouches are probably in the middle of those trouser pockets and your giant pouches. keeps the essential tools and has clips for drills :)
Im in the uk too but I find that wearing trousers such as these are not comfortable at all and I cant deal with wearing a belt for my trousers and my tool belt at the same time but if I don't wear the tool belt I cant really carry anything on me so I just have a Makita suspenders and padded belt with a multi fixing pouch a hammer hook and a tape measure pouch
I wear pants like that everyday. However i rarely actually use the pockets as i find it awkward to get fixing out. I have a toughbuilt tool belt so its easy enough to just remove my tool bags and clip on a larger fixing pouch
Hey bro what do you think about festool miter saw , really worth the money ??
So use to the Work trousers (Pants) being from uk haha...But did have a Stanley work pouch and its just so much more convenient
what do you countersink your spax screws with bro? Gives a very tidy finish!
I prefer the work trousers with the pouch in the line of work I am training to do. I have no need for a tool belt but if I was in a trade like your's, I think I would prefer the belt. Great videos by the way.
Check out Swedish Fristads website. Www.fristads.se its workpants exellence.
We are using both. Next investment will be the atlas 46 vests they look very good
Tenk you Men.
What is the stain/ oil you used on the last deck?
not a carpenter, but damn this is so fun to watch
Hi, could you tell me what that awesome little bevel tool is called and if you can buy it in Australia? Luv ur vids. Cheers
It's all about the snickers flexifit floorlayer trousers with the floorlayer kneepads. 👊 and the pirate version for the summer👊👊
