This is a work of art my friend!!
I do general construction and have a 12x7 box trailer. You are an example of creativity and efficiency!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, big thanks! That box trailer is a great way to go … mobile workshop. Keep it up man
When you pulled out drawers, thought the truck would pop a wheelie!
Haha ... they are heavy, but not that heavy. But then, I've never tried both at once ... may get those tires off the ground! :)
you could be the poster child for the phrase "Better to have and not need than to need and not have". :)
Clients appreciate your preparedness.
I like to think of it that way. I like your phrasing :)
Top notch very down to earth, useful, practical videos. I’m very interested in handyman work just to help friends, family and around the house and your videos have been a God send. I’m a young guy with a small family and I have learned something I can put to use in every video of yours I’ve watched. Thank you very much for them and keep up the great work sir.
Great hearing from ya, man! Keep doing what you're doing :)
Really enjoyable tour of your rig and methods. It's a constant struggle and evolution for me to find the best way to organize and carry tools.
I hear ya man: always evolving! I've since moved on to rolling out with a flatbed and side boxes, which I also like. As long as you have organized storage you're good! :)
That’s a good setup. Compact and useful.
Thanks!
Love your handyman truck storage setup.
Yeah works great for what I do :)
Nice set of tools. When I moved onto my bus I gave away my drywall, tile, and concrete tools. Not much call for them on the road. But I've been adding more cordless to go with the corded. Now I'm running out of room under my couch 🤣
I've parted with tools a few times in the past, and while it hurts, it's always easier to replace them if you need to in the future. That couch sounds like a great storage place!
Nice set up. I use the same approach-setting up job specific kits so it’s easy to just grab my electrical kit or drywall box for whatever job I’m doing. The only thing that lives in my truck is fastener boxes, extension cord and an old B&D corded drill just for a backup. Everything else goes in the garage at night. I couldn’t stand to loose everything to thieves.
Keeping that stuff safe is the way to go. I can't imagine losing tools and things that have taken years to gather up. Well done man
Plans for my truck bed storage system are over at metaspencer.etsy.com
Great video. Didn't think all aspects of building a home could be packed nicely into your truck.
If you keep squirreling things away anything is possible! :)
Tooled up Chevy....love it!
Oh yeah!
Wow impressive
Big thanks!
Awesome inventory or tools and supplies.
Thanks man. Nothing better than having what you need when you need it
The copper plumbing cleaning tool can also be used to clean car battery terminals.
Oooo, I should do that! Every terminal around here is cruddy and could use a cleaning. Thanks for the tip! Better than using it to clean my ears
Incredible! ❤
Thanks for checking it out!
Love it! Glad you are pulling jobs (miss the handyman diaries). I hope you have insurance on all that gear (At least you have ‘video’ proof!)
Oh yeah, always have the insurance and lock it up good ... thanks man
Thats the truth about the drill bits.. everyone has a hundred of the sets with all the same ones missing because they were broken or lost and then just left there..
Oh so true. It's the missing ones that really matter
It's not a mess if you know where to find your stuff and you do :)
haha ... so true!
It is interesting hearing you talk about your job tools. I am a weekend woodworker and invested in a load of 18v tools. My jigsaw and circular saw died a death the other day and I haven't needed them. I have switched to hand tools and apart from needing a rip saw I feel fine. Do we invest in tools that we don't really need? For me, I will wait until I need something before buying it. Of course, I realise that you are in a totally different place to me! Thanks for the video though, it was entertaining.
Oh, but I completely know what you mean. Some of my favorite building projects have been completed with a handsaw, hammer, and nails. Many of the tools I have on board are to go quicker, or for specific uses in various trades, but there is something to be said for simplicity. And those hand tools can even be faster than power tools, not that speed really matters. Nice comment. Brought be back to Earth :)
@@metaspencer You must be one of the most down to earth diyers on RUclips! Thanks though.
No dogs, but interesting... 10/10!
haha ... next one will have to be dogged up! The funny thing is that Tink was chillin in the workshop right behind the camera the whole time
Wow, I don't know how you do it, able to do many trades. I guess you must be in a rural area where your skills are needed as opposed to the city and can specialize. Gotta say great set up! Do you find the worst thing is a clean up and of course it aint on the truck . Nest video is how to clean your truck so you don't regret it! LOL Also, what changes or improvements would you like or is that handled by your trailer? Cheers Any plans to go all battery and cut the cord including the compressor?
All battery is a dream of mine, but my first battery powered nailer croaked. I like this setup a lot but do think a van might be better most days. But will I go the van route? No way. I’m too into trucks. Anyway thanks for checking it out!

ขอบคุณ!
Can you show us construction jobs beside the tree
Yes I have some builds coming up: an addition on our barn and a new building
Can you show us carpenter jobs to
I have a bunch on my channel
them rubber catch's on ya tool boxes in the back seat where you find them
Here's a link. Everyone asks me that ... they're awesome. amzn.to/39Rzi8x
Oh my God. I was thinking the same thing. I had a yellow tool box exactly like that when I started the electrical trade. The catch’s went and I had to toss it.
If I could have fixed I would have.
Those boxes never die but the latches sure do!
How long are those drawers?
Just shy of 8’
😯👍👍👍👌❤
thanks man!
Hay man what’s up how u been are u still going to make a video of the bus and are u still going to work on the bus
Hey man, yeah I'm planning another bus video soon but you know how it is: work sometimes keeps me too busy. But thanks for always checking in
@@metaspencer your welcome
What's your tablespoon? Have you ever used it with You're a Inverter?
I usually just use the tablespoon to eat breakfast
Sorry but I I mean your table saw.
@@TerriErvin-qt9pj that would be way too much power for the inverter. table saws can demand up to 16 amps
@metaspencer ok cool, thanks you. I have a old truck like your and looking for ideas on what to use for my Truck too. Well thanks again and keep up with the video I like them too. Handyman to Handyman!
What name is the drywall box
At what point in the video?
On the inside of the truck
@@JoseGarcia-yk9us Oh, I see what you mean. That's an old toolbox that I modified with those rubber latches.
@@metaspencer and you don't now the company name
Jose Garcia ends up its Rubbermaid
5t=r⁵
Boom! Thanks man
You need a van brother. You are not able to use the truck as a truck so why not get a van? That truck would get broken into quick in a big city. I have a 94 Dodge Van with no windows. I have all my tools in a Job box in it, and still a area of about 5’ wide x10’ long to put large materials and it’s almost impossible to get into the rear without the key.
You said it! Absolutely, I just need the $$$ to make it happen. I have my eyes on a Dodge van with a high roof, but really would take just about anything. You are so, so right!
metaspencer mine was $400 lol. Runs like a top and is a 1 ton.
@@BLACKLACDTS that's a SERIOUS deal! nice
metaspencer I will send a pic via Facebook.
@@BLACKLACDTS excellent
Probably got 10 times more tools than what your truck is worth funny how that can happen especially with me and my hobby farming and I live in town my parents live in a country so you carry tools with you say don't have to run back home $500 pickup truck and $1,500 worth of tools you know
Oh you know it! Got the truck, a 1990, for about $1000 ... so there is no doubt that you're accurate. With that said, though, I love being able to do just about any job right out of the truck :)
