    Nice video, I do agree with other people suggesting m12 line of tools. Just even as a space and weight saving difference is worth it.

      Agree. After carrying a 20v beast I downgraded to a small 3 6v screwdriver in my tool bag. The bigger ones staying the van. But a 12v is the sweet spot

    Nice video. I’m just starting out as a maintenance manager.
    I’ve been doing diy projects for a long time so fortunately I already have most of what I need. Just picking up a few wants right now.
    I think the best tool purchase strategy I’ve heard was buy a wide variety of cheap tools. And then as they break. Upgrade them to the best tool you can get. This way you can do a wide variety of tasks but the main tools you’re using will actually be good and you won’t waste a ton of money on useless tools.

    Your right on about tools. I'm a 80 yr old DIY and I have some tools since my 30's. I Love and take care of my tools. I have a Cat back pk and am partial to Toughbuilt because of their pouches. A appreciate your post. Randy

    You should consider investing in better drill and impact driver. Ditch the brushed Ryobi. Possibly Milwaukee M12 combo. I'm sure the Ryobi may do everything you need to do, but the space you would save in your bag would make it very worthwhile.

    Great post. I also use some Harbor Freight tools for pricing. Also use some Klein, Kobalt, and what ever does the job. I'm a 80 year old DIY in Okla that takes pride in repairs for seniors. I've had some of my tools since I was in my 30's. I take care of my tools. 😊

    just recently moved over to the handy man trade my bag set up already matches yours by 95% thanks for the confidence booster 😝 one thing I learned through the years is go snap on expensive on the tools you use the most go draper cheap on the rest nothing wrong with a tool box full of snap off tools that get the job done

  • @rubentorres8433
    @rubentorres8433 3 месяца назад +1

    Idk if that bag belongs to a handyman making 100/hr. I don't see too many tools there that resolve a $100 problems. However, I will defend Ryobi here. Unlike most skilled trades, handymen don't necessarily use the same tools daily. Electricians will use a pair of linesmen thousands of times a year, so u HAVE to get Klein. A handyman might use it twice. Ryobi tools are just fine for a handyman or someone working maintenance. If u move up to renos then tool upgrades are necessary. I'm sorry if I seem judgemental but I don't see any troubleshooting tools, anything that requires precision to merit $100/hr. Maybe this guy services the rich. Idk.

    I like the white marker and mallet, two things I always have with me are a small squeeze tube of spackle and super glue. Both are small, light weight and great to have when I need them.
    Also, I started with Ryobi and Rigid and agree they definitely get the job done and are a great value… but when I upgraded to Milwaukee it was a total game changer for me.

    • @SomeSkillStudio
      @SomeSkillStudio  8 месяцев назад +7

      You've been brainwashed. I bet less than 1% of my clients have heard of those brands outside of Milwaukee and 0% of my clients have ever cared about what brand my tools are. Also, I know a lot of "pros" who make millions of dollars in the trades and get by on regular box store tools. Most of those tools are not worth the price for the type of work I do, and I own some of them. For instance, I just looked up the price of a Festool miter saw and it's $1600. I have a $200 job-site miter saw that I bought for $60 at a garage sale. That's 4% of the cost, a Festool miter saw is not 25 times better than my miter saw, or even 8x better than my miter saw. And I'm not going to be able to charge more for using it. I also don't feel bad throwing it in the back of my van where it could get damaged or stolen. Being a pro is knowing how to use the tools you have to build or fix the problem the client is paying you for, I'm sure there are a lot of people who own those tools who aren't half the handyman I am.
