I am fully impressed! It's just a complete th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
I told my old boss we needed a laser line for over a year but he hated spending money on tools unless something was broken or stolen. I do finish carpentry so it’s extremely important for laying out boxes, paneling, built ins, etc. It’s wild how much easier layout became once I got one when I went out on my own. It’s a DeWalt but I’ve had great results with it (as well as the DeWalt laser measure). It’s a pricey tool but well worth it in my opinion. And who doesn’t love some tool reviews/comparisons? I run Makita for all my cordless except nail guns, and the 1” rotary hammer works fantastic for me when I’m wrapping stone or brick fireplaces or fastening posts to concrete. I have found myself using the hammer drill I recently purchased more often though as it just eats through most of the material I run across and the bits are cheaper or come with a box of tapcons. The “big boy” is always there if I need it though.
Hammer drills have been a bone of contention for me many times over the years, so, yes, any reviews covering ways to improve concrete connections is more than welcome to this ol' vet!
I bought the inexpensive non-Stabila version of that laser for my DIY home renovation work and it's been invaluable. I turned on the two vertical lasers and the upper and lower crosses as a plumb bob, and then also to set a perfect 90° between two walls. Plumbing up studs is planned for next weekend.
Coming from someone who does not own an SDS drill but will eventually, I would love to see a video from you about your experiences with the ones you have used/own. Last night I was looking through your channel to see if there were any videos I haven't watched yet and there was maybe 2-3 but that's it. I think a big reason for that is you don't just teach people tips and tricks as you are building things. You also share your opinion about things and it's always an unbiased opinion. It doesn't matter if you are talking about how good a tool is or the way you like to trim out windows.. you explain WHY you like the tool and why it's a good fit for the specific task at hand. You explain WHY you like to trim a window that way and why you might do it a different way in a different scenario. I guess what I'm trying to say is I can relate to you in how you approach things. You understand there are multiple tools for the same job and multiple ways to do a specific task.. and you analyze why one way might be better than the other and make a calculated decision based on your findings. You try different things (tools, methods, etc) and pay attention to the details.
Would love to see a video on the different SDS drills and uses. I’m running into more reno work demoing tile off concrete slabs / installing new framing on slab and would love to have one “best” tool for both
Say, might be a stupid question but what are you using if not SDS? As for SDS drills: a) the drills themself are incredibly important. A good new drill on the cheapest sds machine will work better than a finished drill on the best machine. b) as much as I hate it: go by your battery ecosystem. c)everyone has his/her own opinion but imho: if you use the hammermode a lot: pick the heaviest tool you are comfortable (non really are but you know what I mean ;) ) holding. d) at home I have a 150€ makita at work a 700€ hilti and in most application I don't really feel a massive difference. The hilti is better in any regard but.. you've gotta drill a lot of holes to earn the difference. Last but not least: If you#ve got the money ATC (actie torque control) can save your hands/arms. It is worth it.
Hey Kyle, haters are going to hate. There is definitely a time and a place for snapping a line and a time and place for lasers. The haters are just afraid of them or really don’t know how to utilize them. Great work. Learn something new every video
Funnily enough, I just bought this laser 3 hours before this video came out, and I love it. I’ve had a cheaper laser for a while, but it is so dim and chews through AA batteries like crazy, so this Stabila has been a huge improvement. Now I would love some SDS reviews/comparisons, because that is the next “bigger” tool purchase I will be making, and maybe I’ll be able to wait until your video is out before I go buy one this time. 😜 thanks for the great content!
I have el’cheapo version laser , first time use was to remodel my rental houses , putting down hardwood floors , it was great 👍🏻 beating the heck out of a chalk line that gets rubbed off .
I use the Bosch variant GLL 2-80 CG together with a motorized turning attachment. Makes a huge difference when adjusting the lines along specified markers. Very tedious to do the adjustment manually!
Very informative. I've started using lasers at home and at work but nothing as good as yours. It definitely frees up your hands. As far as your hammer drill we have 4 of the Milwaukee cordless versions. One for each of our vans.. The vacuum isn't perfect but it gets 90% of the dust but more importantly it keeps the dust out of the air. Again thanks for sharing.
I love using lasers, especially when working by myself. It would be awesome to see a review on the hammer drills. It took me a few moments to figure out what was still running on yours when you were drilling and then I realized, that's a freaking vacuum.... How cool is thatl! I'd be curious how well it works on larger wedge anchor holes since they are always a pain to blow out/clean before installing.
The vacuum was the coolest part to me. I work mostly on interiors so I cordon off the room/area whenever I’m drilling into stone anyway, but if it removes me from having to keep a compressor around or buying compressed air cans, it might be worth putting on the “future buy” list.
Perfect timing on this video. Just ordered my LAX 600G and BST-K tripod, exact same kit you have, from Acme tool with their 10% off promo. I’m just a prosumer working on my own stuff, so I won’t be putting it through all the job site trials. Hope to get many years of use from my new toy!
I bought a cheeper laser measuring device years ago to install a floating shelf using Kreg tool a long screw into the studs in the wall. Very impressive how accurate it was and it said within a 1/8”. Shelf is still up and love it.
I am in the middle of a remodel and I have this exact laser it’s like having another person for precision and repeated ability cannot be beat I am very happy with my purchase I think it is a must have. STABILA makes A difference.
yes SDS rotohammers video there so many choices and i have multiple myself would love to see the range of sizes you guys use most often and what features and functions you guys enjoy most!
I like that drill but also the right kind of screw to use on brick,block, concrete and etc! Like using what to help support a porch on blocks or etc! Not a builder just a DYI! But watch you all the time!
I like your content and have been watching you for a number of years. I get that you have now arrived at influencer/ brand promotion status, and with that it seems that your content is becoming more product placement than builder chanel. Improper use of time not getting Greg to help with layout before taking off, leaving you "alone". I suppose the cameraman couldn't help with layout. But hey, he didn't miss a shot, so he's good at his job. Nothing but positive feedback here. Keep it real Kyle.
Another great video. I learn a lot about doing construction the right way by watching your videos. Any chance you could do a series of videos on building a basic garage that could be used as a workshop? If that's too simple of a project I get it. That said, I think it would be helpful to a lot of folks who are interested in building their own garage the right way. Thanks for all you do.
Kyle, a video on the different rotary drills would be cool. I would also like to see a video on the best bits and drill bits that you use. A good tool is only as good as its bit,blade,or drill bit.
Those vacuum attachments are dope tbh. I have the milwaukee gen 2 vacuum attachment on mine. I demo and install rubber mats at the entrances of Walmarts and we have to drill holes for the metal transition that butts up against the rubber mats. It's nice not having to carry a broom and dust pan or a large vacuum around, definitely worth the $180 for the attachment.
Would love an sds comparo.. My Milwaukee 5262-21 does everything my DIY needs, but knowing other features/power would be great knowledge for a future project
I’ll stick with the Milwaukee 3-plane laser. Battery familiarity, great warranty, roughly same price. I love Stabila levels, but Milwaukee may be a better choice for this.
Hi there, great vid. Which would you prefer for out door use the green or red leaser. Would you be able to do a vid showing the receiver working with the leaser . Thank you .
I've been using a Dewalt SDS+ 20v rotary hammerdrill for over 7yrs. It's drilled a lot of 2-9/16" cores through 8" and up to 12" concrete walls. 5amp/hr battery's. Usually only have 1 per jobsite so it handles it. Anytime I have needed a new core bit the tool store guys tell me that it's not capable of doing it and try to talk me into a SDS Max drill. Not that it wouldn't be better, I like this one because of its size and gets the job done.
Want to know even a better secret.... take that laser out to doing your foundation layout. Pulling all the tape measures is for the fishes. Drop a pin, put two tape measures and follow the lasers. Perfectly square.
I LOVE the use of tools! And have really appreciated your work for many years now. And I nearly always learn something new watching your channel. I hope this isn't out of line, but in the next few weeks, I'm going to start my own TH-cam channel, calling is Haz It Made as Haz has been my nickname since grade school! And I like to make things. My first big make is to document the journey of building a house for a friend. I've done the drawings, and am working on the and hope to be breaking ground the minute it warms up enough. My question/request of you is this: do you have any old filming/lighting equipment that still works but you no longer use? I'm on Disability due to neuropathy in both feet for the last 22 years now. I know too much about the construction industry and practices to simply do nothing, but I don't have the means to get equipment for beginning to film things. Anything you might be willing to pay forward or sell cheap. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! To quote The Essential Craftsman: keep up the good work!

Kyle: "What tools would you be interested in learning more about?"
Us: "Yes."
YES, please compare the different drills. Maybe even talk about different bits that you have found useful (long life/ resist breaking)
Black dewalt t25 bit is the best t25 there is
I am fully impressed! It's just a complete th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

I'd love to see a video of the big SDS drills that pre-drill for Titen holddowns and such
Hey Kyle, haters are going to hate. There is definitely a time and a place for snapping a line and a time and place for lasers. The haters are just afraid of them or really don’t know how to utilize them. Great work. Learn something new every video
Cordless SDS video would be cool. I haven't switched to cordless SDS yet, im still rocking the Bosch corded.
Yes to the SDS content Kyle! Thank you!
A midweek video release. Who knew but I'm glad I checked in right before turning in for the night.
I have used Stabila levels for years they are awesome. iI do not have a laser level but would love one. Great video as normal cheers Kyle
Funnily enough, I just bought this laser 3 hours before this video came out, and I love it. I’ve had a cheaper laser for a while, but it is so dim and chews through AA batteries like crazy, so this Stabila has been a huge improvement.
Now I would love some SDS reviews/comparisons, because that is the next “bigger” tool purchase I will be making, and maybe I’ll be able to wait until your video is out before I go buy one this time. 😜 thanks for the great content!
Kyle, great work as always. Yes please, make a video all about SDS drills. I would like to hear what you think.
Thank you Mr! I bought my first line level after watching some of your earlier videos that has helped tremendously!
good video Kyle. Lasers have improved a lot 👍
An SDS comparison video would be very helpful
Tool days are a great part of your channel.
Good job Kyle, you inspire me build different projects. Saw a loft segment you did and did one in my building.
I have el’cheapo version laser , first time use was to remodel my rental houses , putting down hardwood floors , it was great 👍🏻 beating the heck out of a chalk line that gets rubbed off .
Hey Kyle, Keep up the great work man. Love how you run your job site and business; clean, precise, efficient, love it.
This is great stuff, I'm setting up to DIY an addition. Compared to the videos that helped me finish my basement, yours are way more help.
I use the Bosch variant GLL 2-80 CG together with a motorized turning attachment. Makes a huge difference when adjusting the lines along specified markers. Very tedious to do the adjustment manually!
Yes to the SDS review for toolsday please. What model Stabila LDM are you using?
Very informative. I've started using lasers at home and at work but nothing as good as yours. It definitely frees up your hands.

Doesnt pull dust out of the hole really, just catches everything that is pushed out by the drill bit.
Perfect timing on this video. Just ordered my LAX 600G and BST-K tripod, exact same kit you have, from Acme tool with their 10% off promo. I’m just a prosumer working on my own stuff, so I won’t be putting it through all the job site trials. Hope to get many years of use from my new toy!
Yes! A video on that SDS tool
always love tool tips and great tool reviews
I bought a cheeper laser measuring device years ago to install a floating shelf using Kreg tool a long screw into the studs in the wall. Very impressive how accurate it was and it said within a 1/8”. Shelf is still up and love it.

I’ve been looking for a video like this! Thanks!
yes SDS rotohammers video there so many choices and i have multiple myself would love to see the range of sizes you guys use most often and what features and functions you guys enjoy most!
Especially doing concrete form work. The straight, squared and plumbed foundation makes the building.
YES to the SDS. I'm in the market and would love your take.
I like that drill but also the right kind of screw to use on brick,block, concrete and etc! Like using what to help support a porch on blocks or etc! Not a builder just a DYI! But watch you all the time!
Yes, I would like a video on SDS and your thoughts about them. Interested in Brands and features.
I like your content and have been watching you for a number of years.
I get that you have now arrived at influencer/ brand promotion status, and with that it seems that your content is becoming more product placement than builder chanel.
Improper use of time not getting Greg to help with layout before taking off, leaving you "alone". I suppose the cameraman couldn't help with layout. But hey, he didn't miss a shot, so he's good at his job.
Nothing but positive feedback here.
Keep it real Kyle.
Yes on the hammer drill! This was very helpful, as I am getting ready to put up a pre-fab kit, and I am planning on renting a laser.
I just found a new early x-mas present!! Thanks Kyle!!
Another great video. I learn a lot about doing construction the right way by watching your videos. Any chance you could do a series of videos on building a basic garage that could be used as a workshop? If that's too simple of a project I get it. That said, I think it would be helpful to a lot of folks who are interested in building their own garage the right way. Thanks for all you do.
Always enjoy the tools
Yes on the SDS video…for sure it would help us all
Great video - thanks so much!!!
Heck yeah I'd really appreciate some SDS and other hammerdrill comparisons and reviews. I hope that I see when you post it.
Yes please on SDS reviews
أداة مفيدة فعلاً ، أشكرك على هذا الشرح المفصل والمفيد .
Yes very interested in the sds
Wow, having a cameraman (woman) is a game changer in what you can visually setup and offer.
That was the big goal of mine
Very nice! Dang it time for an upgrade!
Yes Kyle,,, please do a tools day about rotary hammer drills
Yes I want to see that SDS comparison. Bosch
Thanks Kyle!
Kyle, a video on the different rotary drills would be cool. I would also like to see a video on the best bits and drill bits that you use. A good tool is only as good as its bit,blade,or drill bit.
Yes please do sds tool review... In Europe they are used a lot.
A video of the different drills, vacuums, and bits would be great.
Yes! to the SDS comparison!
Great video!
Would love to see that SDS comparison!
Those vacuum attachments are dope tbh. I have the milwaukee gen 2 vacuum attachment on mine. I demo and install rubber mats at the entrances of Walmarts and we have to drill holes for the metal transition that butts up against the rubber mats. It's nice not having to carry a broom and dust pan or a large vacuum around, definitely worth the $180 for the attachment.
Thanks for showing us the new laser. Rechargable battery is a must. So sick of buying batteries.
Yes we love the big boy hammer drills💪
Yes, please the hammer drills comparison!
Man I need to get one of these!
YES Do the SDS video.
I'd really appreciate a video on SDSs.
yes. do video on SDS!!!
Lasers are bomb!!
Yes to different rotary hammers/sds. Its a kinda of murky space with some being capable of drilling, others better for something like tile removal.
Thumbs up Kyle!! 👍😁
Yes that would be awesome
Yes to the rotary Hammer/SDS Tool Day.. Please.
Yes please to the video on the different sds’s
Not sure if you have yet but a video on the nailers would be nice. Your thoughts on the all electric vs paslode gas system.
another good accessories is one like a drywall prop with a mount on it for the laser,
Would love an sds comparo.. My Milwaukee 5262-21 does everything my DIY needs, but knowing other features/power would be great knowledge for a future project
I think a good tool, SDS video would be great.
I always want to see a blower door test
I’ll stick with the Milwaukee 3-plane laser. Battery familiarity, great warranty, roughly same price. I love Stabila levels, but Milwaukee may be a better choice for this.
Please do a SDS video!! FL is heavy with masonry!!
Hi there, great vid. Which would you prefer for out door use the green or red leaser. Would you be able to do a vid showing the receiver working with the leaser . Thank you .
Would like to see a the DEWALT 20V MAX Rotary Hammer, SDS Plus, L-Shape
Please do the SDS comparison!!
Would love to hear your thoughts on SDS cordless tools.
I've been using a Dewalt SDS+ 20v rotary hammerdrill for over 7yrs. It's drilled a lot of 2-9/16" cores through 8" and up to 12" concrete walls. 5amp/hr battery's. Usually only have 1 per jobsite so it handles it. Anytime I have needed a new core bit the tool store guys tell me that it's not capable of doing it and try to talk me into a SDS Max drill. Not that it wouldn't be better, I like this one because of its size and gets the job done.
Kyle, just ordered one, do you have any videos showing electricians using it to install electrical boxes, recess lights , etc....
Want to know even a better secret.... take that laser out to doing your foundation layout. Pulling all the tape measures is for the fishes. Drop a pin, put two tape measures and follow the lasers. Perfectly square.
Got to love them new paslode hammer nailers 😂
yes on the sds drill stuff, especially how that dust extraction add on works, does it fit everything or is it specific to certain machines
thanks
Hopefully Milwaukee sends you a new M12 Laser and receiver. I have Milwaukee platform so it would be great if it’s good. Great video thanks Kyle 👍
@@xrrbuildings3403 I don’t have Telegram what is it ?
Have you done any videos on waterproofing a frame at all? If not, I would really appreciate it...
It seems to be a very scarce resource to find.
Very interested in the sds drills with attachments please!
