Safety always come thir… first 😅
You don’t want to go cheap on tools. Get a good brand it’s worth it in the long run.
Stud finder
Agreed. Safety does come 31st. Haha
"Kinipax". Its pronounced nipex. Knipex.
Safety always comes thi— first. Good safe
You should take Skil and Ryobi out that list these tools are on a higher level now
Safety comes 3rd 😂
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. 😌
always comes third 🤣
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.
You forgot everyone needs two Wilton Bullet Vises.

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.
Maybe not useful as often, but I’d add a set of picks, a telescopic magnet, and a magnetic tray/dish
Switch out the sawzall for an angle grinder. Other than that I would agree with the selection.
Thompson Estates
Wonderbar/prybar, Combination Square/tin snips/chalk line. May have been mentioned im not sure.
A toilet plunger! If you can’t go.. Nothing else will matter! 🤣🤣
Thank you. I’m gifting my father-in-law with a tool kit.
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.
Safety comes thir…first!
multi meter or elect. test, pencil sharpener, files
My Dad taught me what I needed. Unfortunately, most men now days are USELESS.
I would say a multi tool or oscillating would be also great to have
multimeter?
Porter cable good diy
Blowed if I know what purpose the muzak serves. Except to annoy.
That is funny how people forget about Bosch, they make some good tools as well.
Why am I hearing Annie Lennox’s voice mixed into the generic music here? Thanks for the vid, btw!

Thank you for making a custom video for me and me alone lol
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
Thanks for the video.
Settler’s whench
1st aid kit when was a kid was paper towels and electrical tape.👍
Outstanding !!! But you did leave Bosch out and that was a major oversight. Otherwise a very informative and detailed review.
I think this guy likes Milwaukee
Hart makes a damn fine hammer.
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
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!!
Harbor Freight if your a home owner that is doing the basics. They have all you need and aren’t as much.
This really helped me alot 😊
You’re telling non-trades people to get a Stiletto or Martinez framing hammer? Get out of town, man 😂
I would add a Socket set and even a combination wrench set. Especially if you do any DIY car repair.
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. 😊
Every homeowner should have an oscillating tool.
Step ladders or ladders in general.
How can I get a cutting machine?
Very helpful list!!!!
