Adam Savage said "Buy all your tools cheap, and then if something breaks it means that you use that tool a lot, so buy an expensive version of that tool"
Very smart opinion. Greettins from chilli.
i like this
This is what my father-in-law always says, and I used to agree until I burned up my Menards $20 random orbital sander. It took a couple years. I replaced it with a Makita and instantly regretted using the cheap one for so many hours. The Makita was over twice as fast, and the vibration wasn't even comparable. The idea of buying cheap I still support, but sometimes just buy something decent to begin with.
This is kind of my harbor freight strategy. Mainly for tools that don't require a lot of accuracy and/or quality. I have a harbor freight rotary hammer drill that works fine.
@@fl5966 , yeah, its situational, some tools you should just go buy the nice one first and some it doesn't matter. I'd say a quality sander is worth the money because its a tool that requires accuracy and comfort.
Milled head: "When you are doing finishing, everyone knows that you missed." LOL, absolutely true!
had one of those 7 dollars hammers, the head ended up flying off. Then again I was using it to break bricks.
Cameron is great, I love his attitude about work and tools.👍 from 🏴 Scotland 🏴
Mark D thanks mark
I agree, from U.S.
Estwing 20oz steel straight claw. 25 years of constant use. When I retire it’s going into my trophy case. LoL
Chris Moody North Americans industry standard I swing a stiletto and I would never go back so says my elbow
@@nmoran2046 I was gonna say the same thing . I've worn my stiletto down to a nub.lol. replaced the handle twice.the eating gave me sore joints. The shock is the worst!
Everyone on my crew uses estwing and I used one for years. I'm just getting old. Lighter is better. I buy my boots by how light they are these days! Lol
@diver dave my boss swears by estwing.his looks like a ball peen hammer it so worn. Lol.
My brother at Downers wear out a Estwing and a wheel barrow every 8 months doing mainly form work.
You, Paerau and Cameron make a good couple together. I bought myself a Stanley Anti Fibe hammer, which is quite expensive for me but it has been worth every penny I spent on it. Love watching your videos! Cheers from Holland.
Hi Peter
Amazing show, brilliant to see you.
Well done on your endurance!!!
You hit the nail on the head there! Spend what you can and learn what's best along the way.
David Daniels Craftsman no pun invented 😂
Festool inspected Cameron's van but didn't offer to be a tool sponsor for Scott Brown Carpentry??? Come on Festool. Hook Scott up with all the tools. He Is the perfect ambassador for Festool.😉😉😉😉
@Captain Commodore you're right, overpriced junk
@@jamesandayladodge4815 junk? which ones?
Scott who almost exclusively uses Makita, you mean?
Festool should sponsor Kameron
Vlogging while driving the Greenlane Roundabout = hardcore!
Considering how much tools cost in New Zealand (with shipping) Cameron must be charging his customers an absolute fortune, he has more Festool tools than a Festool showroom
really have to love blowing hard earned money when you go festool. watch Ave dissect th-cam.com/video/oezp-_DcUgg/w-d-xo.html
I actually have both those first two hammers. The expensive one and the cheap one. I use the tiny/cheap one just as much. It's great for when I do finishing and cabinetry!! No hate. Cheers from Canada!
the return of the hammer video. your first one was how I found your channel. Scott check out the toughbuilt C700 saw horses. I think they might be right for your set up. i love mine.
I'm on my 2nd set. The first set I had for almost 4 years but I put them through a beating
that is how I found this channel as well
Always love to hear how people found the channel, cheers man
Sweet video!
Thanks for the comparisons!
The Festool Reps essentially said nothing about anything in particular lol. Gotta love company reps
" ... when you do finishing, everybody knows you missed (giggling) ... " classic!!!
I think this channel is just as much cinematography as it is building, review cheapest camera on Amazon vs your current set up. Let's see if you can salvage through editing hahan
Haha oh that sounds painful
I just hear Korg talking about hammas. “The hamma pulled you off?”
Nice vid bro 👍.. liking the comparison vids at the moment. Helps to keep a non biased opinion on kit.. always good to know what kit is out there. Can save some good time. Keep up the great work 🤘
the festool table saw is lit! you should buy one as-well...
Cool video this week bro, greetings from California.👍🤙🤙
Cheers man for making these videos! Made me get my love back for Carpentry and now I’m back out doing my apprenticeship finally with a good boss who’ll actually sign me up after 3 years of shit bosses! Finally doing the Carpentry I love! Decks and pergolas
Many years ago I had a coworker buy a hammer at a flea market. He bought a framer style fiberglass handle. Knocking around in the basement during the concrete phase of the remodel the head of the new hammer mushroomed before the mild steel stakes did. I think he paid $5-10 usd then. Since then I’ve spent way more on hammers even though I’m out of the trade.
I completely agree with Cameron if you have the money “it’s better to have the tool and not need than need it and not have it” I still love these videos keep up the amazing work Scott
Carson watkins thanks mate 😃
Also, the side nail puller on the Stiletto: The nail has to be driven almost the entire way, only then can you get the right amount of leverage. A co-worker uses it to get nails out of concrete (which normally requires a 'gooseneck' prybar). Once the nail is sticking up any more than say half an inch you lose all the leverage with that side nail puller and would be best off switching to the claw. So in short, the side nail puller works but only in specific situations. But in that situation it allows you to put a ton of force onto the nail, which can be a serious time saver when you don't have a pry-bar handy.
PS sorry for spamming the comments ;-)
vaughn dalluge titanium 16oz on Walmart for $70 here in states. I had one way back when the hammers patent was under Douglas Hammer. Very good hammer.
It’s cool seeing occidental leather nailing bags in New Zealand they’re made in my home town right down the road from where I live now
I organized a possibly the first Occidental electricians belt brought into New Zealand around 15 years ago, however in our damp climate I done away with leather and prefer the Dewalt ballistic nylon tool belts. I also used Skillers electricians belts.
I’m totally aligned with Kameron’s tool philosophy. Have everything
I do love a well organized van.
Hello mate! I really enjoy your videos and am a new subscriber. I'm a contractor in the states who has dreamed of living in New Zealand for the last 10 years.
One big happy family. Gotta love it.
Sheet metal worker here from local 105 in California. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy the vids and if I wasn’t a tin knocker I’d probably be a Carpenter. Cheers
Need a channel like this but with sparks
What do ya think of the harbor freight Pittsburgh Pro lineup? They go for pretty much $7 across the board for every hammer under that branding. I picked up the largest milled face fiberglass framing hammer they had. It’s got the red and black hammer and the unpolished metal on the hammer has a red coating on it. I use it to drive grounding rods 5-6ft into the ground at client houses and so far I am in love with it
I but a $150 stiletto titanium hammer but got it on sale for 60. Favorite tool I own.
Picard the hammer for Carpenter. Three inches nail with one hit.
Nice work in a nice Country.
Greetings a carpenter "Zimmermann" from Germany
Very entertaining. I love my hammers. I never get rid of any hammer, or more frequently any hammer head, that I buy or comes my way. Each tells so much about the user and the use and the era and the economy and technology of the time of production and use. In many ways the hammer is the primal tool, and the tell of the time. A particular hammer will work for a person whose physical and psychological make up fits with that hammer. If you have a hammer that you must use, you learn how to train your body and mind to use it well and properly.
SHIRT HOODIES STICKERS!! Where they at! Loving the videos keep it up.
I love my Stiletto Hammers, and my old Estwing
Holly Crap!!! The cost of doing business in NZ is crazy. What prices do you charge for typical carpentry work?
Carpenter rates are from $60 - 75nzd an hour. Charged rate
Doing anything in NZ is expensive! Very low wages too.
@@mattp5518 i only get 25 an hour for being a apprentice atm, 60 - 75 sounds so good for me hahah
Matt P it’s between $70-95 here in aus for abn Chippy’s but if your on hourly most people will just give day rates around the $650+ gst area plus or minus a $100
At least 50$ an hour anywhere in the world if you take it seriously and have the experience and equipment
Hello, im a furniture assembler in brazil.
I use one just like this for twelve years now.
It would be ridicolous using a framing hammer in my job.
Nice vid thoug.
Thanks bro.
Exactly, each hammer has a job according to its weight and size.
Kameron got the sweetest van boys, especially got the competition won before it started.
Having said that, you might want to get him some help for his tool addiction...
Holy sh*t those prices for the tools!!! I take for granted over here in America where the prices are now where near what you have to pay for them
Love this video! But, no Martinez was included?? :)
@Scott Brown Carpentry I only wish there was good men like you and Paerau when I tried to get a trade back in the mid 1990's .It was a different world back then indeed
I like your Vaughan hammer, very cool, unfortunately you can't find it in my country. After watching your channel i just decided and ordered the Fiskars Isocore 20oz hammer. Maybe you could try it and do a comparison to yours. I watched allmost all your episodes. Greetings from Romania. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
My next hammer will be a 14oz, just not sure which one it will be.
I like Paerau's thinking on the screwdrivers, tools like that I but a cheap set, the one that gets used the most and wears out I replace with a better quality model. Surprisingly that hasn't happened yet ☺️
Take a look at the 12 oz dewalt mig hammer I call it the ghetto stileto
hehehe - that was a great one - awesome fun guys!
Regarding 0:19, the Great Neck Saw M8C Wood Claw Hammer is actually a light duty hammer since its weight is only 8 ounces. Its construction consists of a drop forged steel hammer head fixed onto a hardwood handle. An eight ounce hammer is suitable for small nails. On the other hand, a 16 ounce hammer is considered to be a medium duty hammer. Hammers heavier than 20 ounces are considered to be heavy duty and suitable for efficiently hammering heavy nails but they are not ideally suited for brads or for tacks. Tools should be used for the jobs that they are intended for in order to achieve best results. Merely comparing the prices of tools is not a good indicator as to the suitability of tools for the jobs that they are intended for.
Seems like you found your crew the Three Amigos
I got no business in Carpentry but I love my Est Wing Ball Pin and Club hammer that can take abuse without breaking the hammer shaft as I was sick of replacing broken hammers.
Great fun watching this :)
Really appreciate the price in difference currencies thanks
I'm just here for Paerau's banter.
Borrow Camerons!! classic...
Cameron’s the man!
I spent a lot on tools and I had my 10 inch Marshall town for 7 years
Interesting comparisons of Hammers’ . Those chaps from Festool should also have checked your van out SBC!!🙃😎
Had my eastwing since 1996 still sweet as
Stiletto all the way, baby! I love my 15oz stiletto. For someone like me who's had carpal tunnel in both hands spending the extra cheese for a light weight but beast of a hammer just made sense. Lighter than my old 16oz estwing but hits like a 23oz.
Yeap, Stilleto is great, but nowadays it's chineese company.
Iv had stiletto for years. Got martinez m4 with m1 head now. Way better.
Vadim Grebelny really? As far as I know they're still American made.
Mat Mundt Due to the outrageous price of them I watched a SHIT TON of reviews on both the Martinez and stiletto and saw more negative reviews for Martinez. And I liked that stiletto only has the face that's replaceable and 'may' come loose but the Martinez has the whole head that 'may' come loose.
Hi Scott. I just purchased the Hikoki framer. I’m planning on purchasing the 3ah battery. Roughly how many nails do you get per charge? Cheers
I'm a carpenter in Australia and i have a ute. Yes the van would be nice and can fit more tools, but my ute is a 4x4 and doubles as my camping/beach car. That was my reasoning for getting the ute. Would be nice to be able to afford both haha
I feel those NZD prices here in Canada!
I’ve got that 14oz stiletto mini and the 16oz wooden straight handled stiletto and I find myself going to that one much more than the 14oz, even for finish work. I really don’t like the rubber grip on the mini and when choking up on the hammer, the titanium neck is not comfortable at all, and it’s more than double the price!
We’ll see how long they both last...but my 10oz wood handled stiletto has been my trim hammer for almost 10 years and I’ve used it for everything and it’s still going.
I really wanted to try the Dalluge like you’ve got Scott, that looks very comfortable to use, but it wasn’t in stock when I went.
@Kyle Jones I'm in Canada as well and I just about chocked when I heard Scott say he paid $80 for his estwing. I paid less than half that for my 22oz waffle head estwing. Although that was over 10 years ago. I love my hammer, it's well worn in and I've beat it up pretty good, but it's still going strong.
Being a DIYer and not a tradie I go for the "budget for use" method. I have a lot of Ozito and XU1 hand tools because im NOT using them every day. Still got the cordless drill almost 10 years on, and only tool that has broken down was the orbital sander (which was fixed by taking it apart and clearing all the dust that had got past the crappy o ring). If I was using them every day, I'd probably go through a dozen a year meaning I would have spent more than one of the more expensive brands that would have taken the punishment (same reason I buy $250 boots that last me 2-3 years, rather than $50 ones that last me 3 months). Benchtop tools are a different matter though, cheap tools = cheap made = sloppy cutting guides. Last thing I want is a rip fence moving mid cut.
The only tool I have since I started twenty years ago is my ck adjustable spanner. Everything else has been lost, broken, worn-out or stolen. Power tool Wise is a Makita 9inch grinder it's about sixteen years old.
how do you like the new estwing AL pro hammer?
do a video on how to become a carpenter and all the stuff you need, im in yr 11 and thinking about becoming a carpenter id appreciate the help mate cheers
Would be interesting to compare the cheapest framing hammer with yours.
You guys could review a pencil and it would be awesome!!

@@ScottBrownCarpentry Can't Wait!
Actually, that would be pretty cool! And do it on wet timber aswell. And the different stamped ones from different suppliers, cos most of them are shit.
@@ScottBrownCarpentry Hi, this is the one we've been using for a while. They're branded Würth but look the same as the one on this picture i'm linking below. They seem to be more reliable staying in their sheath than the neon green ones branded Pica, which we used earlier. Switched to Würth because of this reason. I think they're called deep hole markers, but we use them as a general carpenter's pencil. The sharpener sucks though, i just use my razor knife for that - whenever i need the the tip to be really sharp.
I always keep two of those in a leg pocket on my work pants. One has the basic gray graphite type of tip, the other a red one. The graphite one, especially, can be wiped fairly easily off of surfaces (at least if used a light hand marking), which comes handy every so often.

Hello Scott, in one of your episodes, you touched on the subject of how successful facebook ads can be to find new clients. Since then, you haven’t touched on that subject again. I would appreciate if you could shed more light on how many clients you actually (firm clients and not just one or two calls leading to nowhere) did you land from that campaign of yours. It would be nice to hear that.
I have an estwing 24oz and watched the misses try hit in tent pegs with a cheap hammer it was taking so long I had to finish the job, few weeks later I went out and got her a 20 Oz estwing cause every women needs a good estwing.
That's crazy seeing how much tools cost in other parts of the world. My estwing hammer only cost me $30 at lows.
You need to try a Martinez M1 titanium hammer game changer I'm an apprentice and have just upgraded for the estwing
where is best place to buy hikoki tools please? thanks Scott
Is the stiletto 14oz wood handle a good titanium hammer is cost About 131 nz dollars in the netherlands
$300 framing hammer? I've had the same california vaughn hammer for almost 20 years, $20 give or take. Has always worked great.
$20 twenty years ago gets you alot better quality than anything in todays market
Do you have a framing level?
2400
Do plumb still make hammers best ones for nail and pin pulling ,my dad's got some like 5o years old and still great heads on em
Did the level come with a battery?
7:48 "when you're doing finishing everybody knows..." Don't even need to be a tradesman to see the animosity there.
Do you have any videos on your page of you working in Edinburgh?
The best thing about that $7 hammer... The sound it makes when you drop it! Keep up the great work Scott.
hi，where did you usually buy your power tools ?Bunnings warehouse?
I had an estwing but I didn't really rate it over any other hammer. My Bacho is amazing. Something about the curve in the handle . It's more like a hatchet handle. 18oz just right wait. Pulls missed drywall screws out sweet which is its primary use .
The best tool is the one you can afford ... love (thy) tool.
nice video from Hamilton NZ
What kind of tool belt is that?
Good video ayyy bro! Those Festool blokes should give Cameron a bloody saw for free.
I've always lived by the saying "Buy once, Cry once". You should review a Martinez hammer from the M range Scott? Great vid bro.
How come you don't lever the hammer to the side instead, when pulling out nails?
Iv owned the stiletto 14oz for years and loved it. But the handles loose, alenkeys hard to get to and rounded, Claw tips are worn, magnets missing and head doesn't sit straight. Have just purchased the martinez m4 with m1 head. Only early days but so far its way better.
I started off with black & decker circular saw,empire level, plumb hammer a few tools in my finish carpentry company.
Moved up to Dewalt saw, dead on, estwing,hammers, Milwaukee. Lufkin shockforce tape step up from Stanley.
If your going to make a living need tools to do the job hold up and not fail. ,
I bought a 16 ounce Estwing when I was 18 in 1978 when I started a job as an electrician helper. The job boss always said he could tell if I was working hard because that hammer would sing a song that no other hammer on the job made since I had the only Estwing. Somewhere along the line I bought a 20 ounce Estwing but I don’t remember exactly when. The point of all this is that I’ve still got both hammers and they’re both still in A plus 1 condition. From my perspective if you don’t lose them they last perpetually forever.
What is the brandof the pouch?
Is your hammer the dalluge or the Douglas? I live in the US, I bought a Douglas years ago for about 60 bucks, got a dalluge a couple years ago for just under $100. Prices there are crazy
The little hammers are perfect for electricians, roughing in timber frame houses.
Hope you picked up all those nails you pulled.
All my tools are Bosch, never let me down. That framing hammer is crazy expensive. I use a 20 oz Estwing
Cool way to set up the flexi bin, but what happens when they come to collect it? How would they get the crane truck to get it out from there? Just wondering...
Hook and drag it first.
I use a 24oz Estwing Claw Hammer. 👌👌
Hey Scott are you aloud to use your phone when filling up ⛽️
