Dude as a painter, Ive known for 20+ years the 5way (thats what painters in GA call em) is the end-all be all for: opening beers, spliting blunts, throwing at targets, self defense, cutting sandwiches, applying condiments, negotiating payments, and works pretty decent on all that other stuff you mentioned. Great vid bud!
The best thing about this video is how quickly, and thoroughly, you go through the information. I'm sick of people chatting for 3-5 minutes before they get to the actual information. You totally sold me on this tool. Thanks!
I am very protective & get upset when my 5 n1 or 6 n 1 are not in my toolbench. I use them for many things, but I did learn 2 things I didn't today. Thank you for sharing all this info.
I am a tough grader but this was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. No verbal garbage here. No fancy boring long drawn out introductions. More people need to make precise and concise videos like this. Good job.
It's mostly the women who do of the long drawn out beginnings, middles & ends & never get to the point. Men usually do but this man does it a lot faster than most.
My old man put one of these in my very limited toolbox. I never understood (or asked) why. Now, 4 years after he passed, I found out why. This channel absolutely rocks.
I'm a beekeeper. I use it as a hive tool as it gives leverage without jarring bee boxes apart (the bees really don't like their house being jarred apart!) It scrapes propolis too and separates the frames easily. I wouldn't be without it.
Funny, I bought one of these from a Walmart clearance aisle for a dollar, it could be the most useful tool I’ve ever owned. And, I actually used it tonight. By the way, I’m a 77 yo great grandma! 🤗
As a career handyman/tradesman I have worn many hats and carried many tools. Flooring, drywall, carpentry, surface refinishing, etc and a 5way is hands down the most essential tool out of an *extremely* limited list of tools that are invaluable no matter the job and it can even replace others on that list in a pinch- looking at you, razor knife i just had and now can't find. I've seen guys shrug their shoulders over losing an expensive drill, but i've also seen roofers drop their $10 5way and make a special trip down the ladder just to fetch it and if you know anything about roofing or a roofer's mindset you'd know going down that ladder without a damn good excuse is a cardinal sin. This tool has so many uses beyond what's displayed here and half of them you don't realize until you improvise. One of my favorite uses is to simply use it to pry back flashing on a metal roof so I can get my brush behind it onto the fascia- gives a much better finished look when you don't have paint on your metal and can't find a cut line because it's behind/under the flashing.
After watching this video, last year, I started carrying this as a firefighter. It’s been amazing. Your video highlights so many uses. I’ve used it for overhaul, forcible entry, and even in auto extrication. The tool is versatile and light.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m a woman and trying to diy with different projects myself. What a great things to have a professional like you digesting inf for us. Thanks and thanks again.
I apologize for being wordy. I am a RUclips fan of yours. I am writing this to several presenters. About 60 years ago, I took high school woodshop. Thereafter, I learned a few basic things from my grandfather and father. Over the following 20+ years, I had neither the money nor the space to do any woodworking. About 25 years ago, some tools were passed on to my by parents, so I took over my garage, but my skill was rudimentary; the things I created were crude and imprecise, but I enjoyed the process. About 5 years ago, I got very sick. During my recovery, I discovered you and your colleagues on RUclips. Since then, I have been a junky watching mostly woodworking videos. I must THANK YOU and your colleagues for teaching me so very much. I moved to a new home and created a shop on casters (I have to move cars) and have tried many of the things YOU have taught me-and bought way too many new tools!. I now spend as much time as possible in my shop and have actually created some pretty good project products and shop furniture. Without you to help me through my convalescence and your clearly understandable videos, I don’t think I would be enjoying this hobby as I do. Thank you and the whole RUclips woodworking community.
Having just remodeled an 1880’s house, can say this tool made a huge difference! Be sure to get one with a full tang(where the metal inside the handle does all the way to the end of the handle) as it will be stronger if you are doing a lot of prying.
I am a handyman and I use this tool for removing glued down tack strips under carpet, removing underlay glue, removing caulking and most recently installing new grout. I bought one about 8 years ago and have used it contantly. Recently it broke so I went looking for a new one but had no idea what is was called or where I got it from. This video helped me find a new one. Its an every day carry for me.
The 5 in 1 also works great for opening boxes quickly. I use the pointed end and the curved side of my 5 in 1 to open boxes using a pulling motion. Works so well I often use it instead of my utility knife.
I am A siding installer, have been for thirty years. this is the best tool in my tool bags, I use it at least 30 times a day. I could not live with out it. esp useful for getting the steel fascia under the drip edge, no other tool works as good period. its a life saver. and very useful for stretching up a low siding panel to match your siding line when a panel or two gets low. for vinyl or steel siding. just put it under the nailing flange and give it a shove up, and staple it into place. I would pay 50 bucks for this tool if i had to. it saves me that much in time on a day to day basis. love it.
Couldn't agree more, David! I probably could have made an hour-long video on just the random carpentry tasks that I've used this thing for over the years. At the start of a demo, I just walk around with it in my hand, loosening things and probing things. It's more like an extension of my arm at this point 😁
I saw the last part of your sentence, if I were you I would definitely keep my voice down, the people who work in marketing at Home Depot may be listening
Yeah, true fact. I better shut the front door. On the last part of that sentence. I would hate to pay anymore then I am paying now. But if I had to.. i would be forced in to purchasing another over priced tool to do my job. But hey, it saves me time. And energy. So in the long run. It saves me money. Besides I would just throw the price if the magic 8 in 1 right into the bid if I had too. Or I would probably try to make my own tool of some sorts. Lol
A 5-in-1 and a paintbrush were the two tools I was given at the beginning of each summer when I worked as a painter in college. I’ve been using the same 5-in-1 for 25 years now, super handy tool…
@@eustacemcgoodboy9702 You doubt that 'boomers' worked during the holidays? Do you think their parents were rich? haha. Please tell me, what generation are you?
@@Pat206The numbers don't lie. Boomers dropped out of high school at age 16 then worked jobs that bought them houses by age 25. Currently Boomers possess over 85% of all of America's wealth because they made sure to wreck the economy for their children and grand children.
@@Pat206 The plan for your 40 year old children to have the standard of living you had by 25 is for you to die and leave your vast wealth as inheritance.
As a decorator, that would get me edgy as without serious vacuuming, there is risk those bits (even after brushing out) could end up in the paint. Like the idea, but you are loosening up more stuff and would need to be sure it doesn't end up in the pot. I suppose the answer then is to strain it. I'm not crazy about "activating" dried in paint like scraping it as you end up with far more issues.
Working in apartment maintenance I have discovered that the large majority of my work can be done with 5 tools. Channel locks, leatherman, 5-9 in one screwdriver, painters tool and a flashlight. I absolutely agree with the idea in this video.
Brilliant, Ethan! No rambling, pointless intro to wade through. Straightforward, succinctly delivered information on each use, and how you have found it useful outside of it being marketed purely as a 'Painters Tool'. I have emailed a few manufacturers of these tools in disbelief that they don't provide a video guide. For such an invaluable tool, you'd think it would be a shrewd move! I was dumbstruck when you showed you use it to support damage-free removal of nails/screws from walls! I am constantly having to fill and 'make good' holes with extra drywall damage - no more!
Hi, you left out a use for this tool, you can use the pointed end to drive four holes in the rim of the paint can. This lets the paint drain back into the can. You’re welcome 😊
I worked for 20 years as a faux rock carving specialist for a company that built realistic concrete climbing walls. We used 5 point tools almost exclusively as our carving tool. It was the perfect all in one concrete carving tool!
Been painting for 20 yrs and the 5in1 is in my side pocket all day. I whip that thing out like a gun now! Another paint tip is if your cruising along on baseboard on a hard floor and you put a little streak right in front of the board don't risk touching what you just painted. Just wrap your rag tight around the scraper end and run it over swipe mark. Gives you control of rag and it's flat. Oh and watch that curved blade when they're new. Lol Nice video! Thanks!
Yep when I moved from painting to carpentry I brought all my 5-ways with me. It’s a flat-head screwdriver, the point is a Phillips head too, and the point works awesome for removing staples. One other awesome use is to pry on material to level it, like adjusting a sheet of plywood or even a window to level it.
I've been a Carpenter 35 years and I have one of these in every box I have, general purpos, trim, door& hardware, Millwright and even my cocreate, but I sharpen the forward blades to a razor edge, thanks for the viddy.....
I'm pushing 25 years in most of the building or finishing part of the trades. Historic restoration or remodeling I usually will do every part of Hands-On from demolition to the final cleaning and the five and one is a part of every piece of that. if I never was a carpenter that painted what I built then I probably would have never had it. I said in a previous comment before I saw this comment that it is crazy to me how many Carpenters don't know how much better that you can make a job turn out just by having one. You also have to have the ability to want to try to exceed and do the best job possible or most of the things that I do with it they wouldn't do anyways. I I was very fortunate to have old-school dudes that were very good at whatever trade I was working with to learn from. I was even more fortunate that I was smart enough to pay attention.
I use one of those tools for weeding the grass and driveway. The concave rounded edge is great for hooking around the roots of weeks in the lawn and either side of the pointed end works well to scrape weeds out from between slabs or the expansion joint in concrete.
You can also use it in conjunction with a sanding sponge to hold a door steady while painting. Place them together as a wedge between the bottom of the door and the floor. They're also fun to throw into wood and sheetrock.
I spend summers painting classrooms at the school I work at. It work’s great for all of those things you mentioned and it’s great for pulling staples out of a wall quickly and easily. Something there is a lot of in a classroom.
I bought one recently and I love it!❤ I bought it originally for removing old sealant from a bathroom vanity but realised it has way more uses Thanks for showing us many more uses👏👏
I have been curious about this tool for years, but never discovered how truly useful such a tool is until now. Thank you for a fantastic and practical video.
Tengo una herramienta similar a esta, como soy aficionado a los acodos aéreos, le vi un gran potencial, con eso, a tales fines le saqué más filo de manera que pudiera cortar fácilmente la corteza de la rama a trabajar. Hice una prueba, pero se requiere dar mayor afilamiento
I too am a professional carpenter and it appears I need to add this in my tool cache. I have always used a bar scraper for many of the tasks in the video. I have contemplated the 5n1 but always thought it was gimmicky until now. Cheers.
I have also used mine for protecting the wood when hammering in nails...place the cutout around the nail and if you miss? You only hit the flat surface of the "100 in 1" and no ugly hammer indents on the wood.
Great video! As a drywall finisher, painter, and for carpentry uses, (I've used it for ALL these) Tip: First thing to do with the tool is to sharpen the leading edge to knife sharpness, including the back side of the pointed part. Sharpen ONLY the beveled side, and, if necessary create a matched bevel on the inside of the point. Use a well-stabilized or bench grinder. and finish as you would any precision blade. You will find just how handy this is should you neglect to sharpen it in this way. You will most like do it as soon as you discover its insufficient sharpness. It is also useful as the go-to tool for house and even engine cleaning and prying. Whether in those window corners (and some windows have lattice or even odd-stained glass shapes, so that sharpened point will be useful in perfectly finishing painting. House cleaners, working on floor and any surface edge will vastly improve the speed of their complete cleaning with this tool. In a pinch it will unscrew and screw your razor knife to change blade, or even remove switch plates. You will need to carry less tools around in noncarpentry jobs. Ive used it for so many things that they cannot be itemized here. I always keep two, one in car for emergencies.
@@brodriguez11000 I was going to say. If this thing is sharpened, it will require a cover or holster so you don't end up cutting yourself. Seems inevitable.
As a home owner I've used a 5 in 1 for everything. Recently I purchased a stainless 5 in 1 for kitchen use. Great for removing burned on food from pots and pans, skillets, etc. The eye roll I get from the wife is priceless.
I've said the same thing for years. There are several tools that lose their spot in the belt to the 5-1. Also, the longer the flat edge, the crappier the 5 in 1. I prefer the stubier 5 in 1 like the one you are holding in your garage for the interview portion of this video. NOT the wider HUSKY 5 in 1. There are different classes of 5 in 1. There has to be a point to stop adding on the this tool. I personally don't even like the teardrop nail puller. Glad to see someone else that values the 5 in 1.
I have always considered a 5 in 1 to be an essential hand tool to have . I am not a painter, I am a cabinet installer and finish carpenter but this tool is always in regular use. one thing I use it for a lot is when I am caulking , I use it to clean out excess caulk in tight little spots, I like to to be realy clean, none of that smearing a heavy bead of caulk with your finger and calling it done crap on my jobs, also makes a good pry bar, putty knife in a pinch , paint can opener, knife to cut old caulk joints when removing old trim or base and many more things!
I got a couple of these in different sizes when I was working as a house painter. I still use them all the time on a variety of household projects. And the best part is they only cost a couple of bucks.
Not much of a DIY person. But came across this many years ago and loved it. Then my son borrowed it, loved it, and it never returned. My daughter got new home and was dubious about the version I got her for their toolbox but soon singing it's praises. Titanium 14-1 non stick ordered.
I came upon this video and since I have been using one as a carpenter for over 30 years I had to watch. HC pretty much nailed it. Introduced my son to one 20 years ago and he told me that pretty much every guy in his VW bus club now has one in their toolbox. Good job HC. What is a 5 in 1 now like a 15 in one.
I like tools. I love my painters tool. Additional use: If you're painting, you can usually undo the screws on wall and outlet plates with it. If the plate is stuck to the wall with paint, place your blade edge along the long side of the plate and give the handle a whack. Pops the plate off without prying.
I’ve carried one and referred to it as the Magic Tool for 20 plus years. Mostly, as a trim carpenter, it’s great for prying baseboards and casing off the walls. And scraping drywall mud off the corners near the floor before running new base.
I’ve been saying this for years! It’s probably my most used tool. A lot of my work jeans have a small hole in the back pocket from carrying around my 5.
This is a tool everyone takes for granted. Carried one for 20 years, use it every day, never thought about it... like the hammer and speed square.. you just replace it if you lose or break it. Never thought about it. I have about 5. The wood handle embee tools are the best. If you can find one, sand off the base handle wood and expose the steel. Now it is a chisel too. Most of the newer chinese models are junk. That is why i have 5 of them.
You think you don't need one...until you have one...ONE THING: Y'all, get a GOOD painters tool. You'll know because it will say Husky or have a METAL ASS END. This is super important because you don't get the pry/chisel use out of a $Hitty tool. The metal butt lets you use it like a driving blade, by smacking the metal back of it with a hammer. Don't cheap out and DONT LET ANYONE LESS EXPERIENCED THAN YOU TO USE IT. They'll mess it up. Believe me. Lives will be lost.
After watching this video , I received this tool within 4 days and LOVE it . Hard to sharpen , but the edge retention is excellent for linoleum , vinyl , carpet , siding , shingle repair and even using for heavy duty wire stripping . It cuts heavy rope and cordage and is perfect for removing the scales from steel head fish and cleaning catfish . Thanks for the advice .
I use a dremel to sharpen all of my tools and knives (it does everything, scissors, those electric hedge trimmers, I think it can sharpen literally everything) and I highly recommend it. It's actually a somewhat useful tool in general for places that are too tight for a sawzall, grinder, or oscillating tool. It has a much more obvious use in finish work and fine detailing but I've cut my share of fasteners, pipe, sheetmetal, drywall, etc. with a dremel. It's nice especially in lieu of a router. Anyway that's my dremel plug I promise they're not paying me lol
I've liked all the videos I've seen and unlike others I can tell that you are a carpenter and I respect that . Having framed houses for 30 plus yrs. and knowing how useful a ( painters tool ) is it's good to see you spreading the word !!
I spent 10 years as a flooring installer and carried a "5-way" all day, every day. These days it's always near the top of my toolbox. Some things just work.
I worked as a union tile finisher for 25 years and used this tool all the time. I called it the “Ninja Tool” because it could do everything, although I primarily used it as a chisel. Squaring off corners when you’re grouting to doing patches. This and a marking towel are two of the best, most versatile hand tools that you can carry.
I love this tool. I’ve been using it for years on all kinds of jobs. I keep it in my back pocket when I’m working. You are right this is the most useful tool you can own!
The point at the end of the bevel can be used to set finish nails. I use this tool on all of my finish wood working. I have 4 of them because it is a great multitool. If the Island trees are soft woods, this tool would cut limbs off of island soft wood. :)
My dad worked in construction for 40+ years. Over some of my summer breaks (probably when my mom had had enough of me lol), he'd take me with him to work. He fitted me with bags, gloves, etc., but the first tool he bought me was a 5-in-1. He always said it was the only tool he used every day, from the start of a project to the bitter end. lol
I started the bathroom renovation today. I don’t know how you do one without a five in one tool. Is the only tool I won’t leave the house without other than my drill
I love this tool too. Have always had one. I recently learned that you are supposed to use the rounded end to push into nail holes and round them out before filling. It works really well, especially if the drywall paper is a bit jagged at the edges.
Omg this is hilarious. I renovate swimming pools and i have this exact same tool. I love the thing and swesr by it! It is great for doing liner tucks, removing old skimmer and main drain gaskets, lifting up stubborn rail rings, and various other problems that present themselves. Some of the best 5 bucks i've ever spent. I thought i was the only person who felt this way.
legit- exact same... those rail rings that've been "in place" for 25 years are much more difficult than one would think (not to mention the securing bolts hidden under years of compacting dirt/debris). This tool is GOLD when dealing with anything if that sort- or, as stated, installing/removing liner & liner locks and scraping old, melted gaskets, o-rings, the like... and always handy to have a good ole sturdy metal butt plate to beat the hell out of stubborn things (which is inevitable in almost every unkempt pool for one/every task). I work fire and as a tac-medic and have every demolition/extrication/forcible entry tool imaginable- which have their uses for sure- but by far this, 3/8 ratchet, and quality flat head BY FAR most used hand tools...
Damn boy, 43 years and still cant afford more tools? Tools are free man. You pay for them upfront, but they return youre money in a matter of weeks. After that they just make you money
You couldn't find anymore tools? You couldn't get a job and have $10 to spare? Maybe you just suck at surviving. Lucky you found 1 tool that does it all
Amateur DIY here, got one a few years ago when I bought my first house. I intended to use it as a putty knife at first. Boy I can tell you, I have found it invaluable in so many aspects of remodeling and repairing stuff in the home. Especially cleaning up my own messes, lol. Just used it to remove door trim for the first time the other day too. It really is an awesome tool! Great vid my friend.
I use this tool all the time in the sheet metal trade. My favorite tool, I use the tip to cut the metal by striking the backside, I use the point to open up my drives and also to open up the slips.
This is my 'Go To' tool. Another great use when painting, is using it to cut drain holes around the top of the paint can. That is, where the lid seals onto the can, you use the pointy end to punch through the bottom of the "U" shape in three or four places to allow the paint to drain out of this channel after pouring...
@@chrisgraham2904 Actually, I not had any problems with partial cans over the past 25+ years of working this way. It does seem counterintuitive considering the inner ring of the paint can is the primary seal, but as long the lid goes back on tightly, it's worked for me.
Very clear you are the most perceptive carpenter on the Internet. I have used a five and one for every one of those uses you described in my 40 years realistically you boil it down To perfection
When I Ieave my 5 in 1 behind, all work stops until I backtrack and find it. Cant agree more, it is probably the most versatile tool in the bag. Super useful 👍👍
I have been a glazier for 32 years and I have this tool for one job when replacing draught proofing on pvc windows sometimes the rubber draught proofing is glued in the corners and the pointy bit is great for scraping out the rubber from the groove.
I love tools. I don't need one of these, but since I'm stopping at Menards today I can't help but pick one up. I'm sure once I start using this tool I'll wonder why I didn't buy one sooner. Thanks for the review.
Im So grateful for this video someone left this tool in my basement when I moved in 7 yrs ago and never knew what it was used for. Ive been painting my master bdrm this weekend and I decided to give it a try so I opened paint cans, scraped old cruddy old paint off the floor now I know what else to use it for TFS👍
Another one to add to the list, wallpaper removal tool. Once you apply/spray your preferred wallpaper removal chemical, this tool makes great use of carving out sections of old wallpaper. Better than a regular putty knife because of the width and sharper edge.
so that's what the rounded edge is for lol. I've used this tool for everything but that. Also great for shaving drywall edges when your cut was just a lil' over
"I rebuilt the big block in my 70 Chevelle with this tool. Thank you, I couldn't have done it without it." but isn't that the same thing that your mother said to you?
My dad used it to dig out small tree stumps one time. He always carried it in his pocket. After that, we started calling it the 20 in 1 tool. I have 3 of them now and gave them to my kids for Christmas last year. Love this tool!!
Thank you for the video on this. My wife used to do painting and tried to explain why this was the best tool ever, and I think you added to her list! LOL

Negotiating payments 😂
You named so many I forgot!
Bahahaha
It's amazing how many tasks this tool can perform. I'm surprised the carpenter didn't mention nail set.
I thought I saw a bottle opener on that tool.
The best thing about this video is how quickly, and thoroughly, you go through the information. I'm sick of people chatting for 3-5 minutes before they get to the actual information. You totally sold me on this tool. Thanks!
I am very protective & get upset when my 5 n1 or 6 n 1 are not in my toolbench. I use them for many things, but I did learn 2 things I didn't today. Thank you for sharing all this info.
Amen to that, Jennifer!
Jennifer Kane because u get to the point - I’m subscribing to your channel
Totally agree
He is a great teacher. I bought this 15 in 1 yesterday with him in mind lol.
I am a tough grader but this was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. No verbal garbage here. No fancy boring long drawn out introductions. More people need to make precise and concise videos like this. Good job.
Too bad his assertion that this tool is great for survival situations is a complete BS! Yeah, I'd like to see him cut a tree with that tool!
Kind of like what your doing right here !
It's mostly the women who do of the long drawn out beginnings, middles & ends & never get to the point. Men usually do but this man does it a lot faster than most.
It really is a great video. Quick to the point and then move on to the next.
I appreciate no music!
My old man put one of these in my very limited toolbox. I never understood (or asked) why. Now, 4 years after he passed, I found out why. This channel absolutely rocks.
Cool
I'm a beekeeper. I use it as a hive tool as it gives leverage without jarring bee boxes apart (the bees really don't like their house being jarred apart!) It scrapes propolis too and separates the frames easily. I wouldn't be without it.
That's actually a really good idea. I'd bet I'd like it more than the actual hive tool
Thanks! Great idea!
Funny, I bought one of these from a Walmart clearance aisle for a dollar, it could be the most useful tool I’ve ever owned. And, I actually used it tonight. By the way, I’m a 77 yo great grandma! 🤗
Keep it going Great Grandma!
i like how you abbreviated year old! lol
I'm looking at this too wondering what I could use it for ...all I can come up with is for scaling fish ...
Hi Granny 💞
It good to keep the grandkids in line too I'll bet!
As a career handyman/tradesman I have worn many hats and carried many tools. Flooring, drywall, carpentry, surface refinishing, etc and a 5way is hands down the most essential tool out of an *extremely* limited list of tools that are invaluable no matter the job and it can even replace others on that list in a pinch- looking at you, razor knife i just had and now can't find. I've seen guys shrug their shoulders over losing an expensive drill, but i've also seen roofers drop their $10 5way and make a special trip down the ladder just to fetch it and if you know anything about roofing or a roofer's mindset you'd know going down that ladder without a damn good excuse is a cardinal sin. This tool has so many uses beyond what's displayed here and half of them you don't realize until you improvise. One of my favorite uses is to simply use it to pry back flashing on a metal roof so I can get my brush behind it onto the fascia- gives a much better finished look when you don't have paint on your metal and can't find a cut line because it's behind/under the flashing.
what is your extremely limited list?
After watching this video, last year, I started carrying this as a firefighter. It’s been amazing. Your video highlights so many uses. I’ve used it for overhaul, forcible entry, and even in auto extrication. The tool is versatile and light.

I apologize for being wordy. I am a RUclips fan of yours. I am writing this to several presenters.
About 60 years ago, I took high school woodshop. Thereafter, I learned a few basic things from my grandfather and father.

The 5 in 1 also works great for opening boxes quickly. I use the pointed end and the curved side of my 5 in 1 to open boxes using a pulling motion. Works so well I often use it instead of my utility knife.
You can use the blade to cut tape when masking. It's really handy for masking corners.
Crisp tape edges!
It also helps in pressing it to 'seal' the edge from paint 'leaking' under the edges.
Nah you need a flexible knife for that so you get consistent down pressure when press the tape down. It won't tear the tape either.
I am A siding installer, have been for thirty years. this is the best tool in my tool bags, I use it at least 30 times a day. I could not live with out it. esp useful for getting the steel fascia under the drip edge, no other tool works as good period. its a life saver. and very useful for stretching up a low siding panel to match your siding line when a panel or two gets low. for vinyl or steel siding. just put it under the nailing flange and give it a shove up, and staple it into place. I would pay 50 bucks for this tool if i had to. it saves me that much in time on a day to day basis. love it.
Couldn't agree more, David! I probably could have made an hour-long video on just the random carpentry tasks that I've used this thing for over the years. At the start of a demo, I just walk around with it in my hand, loosening things and probing things. It's more like an extension of my arm at this point 😁
I saw the last part of your sentence, if I were you I would definitely keep my voice down, the people who work in marketing at Home Depot may be listening
Yeah, true fact. I better shut the front door. On the last part of that sentence. I would hate to pay anymore then I am paying now. But if I had to.. i would be forced in to purchasing another over priced tool to do my job. But hey, it saves me time. And energy. So in the long run. It saves me money. Besides I would just throw the price if the magic 8 in 1 right into the bid if I had too. Or I would probably try to make my own tool of some sorts. Lol
You can't work without it
You probably could live without it
You can get a husky brand 15 in one tool for 8.98 Lowes, home depot.
A 5-in-1 and a paintbrush were the two tools I was given at the beginning of each summer when I worked as a painter in college. I’ve been using the same 5-in-1 for 25 years now, super handy tool…
Ah the classic Boomer myth (lie) of paying their way thru college by painting houses in the summer.
@@eustacemcgoodboy9702 You doubt that 'boomers' worked during the holidays? Do you think their parents were rich? haha. Please tell me, what generation are you?
@@Pat206The numbers don't lie. Boomers dropped out of high school at age 16 then worked jobs that bought them houses by age 25. Currently Boomers possess over 85% of all of America's wealth because they made sure to wreck the economy for their children and grand children.
@@Pat206 The plan for your 40 year old children to have the standard of living you had by 25 is for you to die and leave your vast wealth as inheritance.
I have been plumbing for years and this tool is absolutely one of my favorites. I have one specifically for wax ring removal and corroded washers.
Im a brain surgeon and this tool saves a lot of time.
The pointed end was originally designed to scrape the crud out of groove in the paint can where the lid seats ;-)
As a decorator, that would get me edgy as without serious vacuuming, there is risk those bits (even after brushing out) could end up in the paint. Like the idea, but you are loosening up more stuff and would need to be sure it doesn't end up in the pot. I suppose the answer then is to strain it. I'm not crazy about "activating" dried in paint like scraping it as you end up with far more issues.
Working in apartment maintenance I have discovered that the large majority of my work can be done with 5 tools. Channel locks, leatherman, 5-9 in one screwdriver, painters tool and a flashlight. I absolutely agree with the idea in this video.
Brilliant, Ethan! No rambling, pointless intro to wade through. Straightforward, succinctly delivered information on each use, and how you have found it useful outside of it being marketed purely as a 'Painters Tool'. I have emailed a few manufacturers of these tools in disbelief that they don't provide a video guide. For such an invaluable tool, you'd think it would be a shrewd move! I was dumbstruck when you showed you use it to support damage-free removal of nails/screws from walls! I am constantly having to fill and 'make good' holes with extra drywall damage - no more!
Hi, you left out a use for this tool, you can use the pointed end to drive four holes in the rim of the paint can. This lets the paint drain back into the can. You’re welcome 😊
Nikita Petersen put the holes in the valley that the rim of the cans lid goes into ( the U shaped valley)
Or you can just brush out the excess paint in the rim when you're finished 🤷♂️
That’s a pro tip!
Right 0n! Until now I've been using a nail for such when I open a new can. Good Idea !
As a glazier this is one of the very few tools that I use on an EVERYDAY basis. It's amazing
I worked for 20 years as a faux rock carving specialist for a company that built realistic concrete climbing walls. We used 5 point tools almost exclusively as our carving tool. It was the perfect all in one concrete carving tool!
Been painting for 20 yrs and the 5in1 is in my side pocket all day. I whip that thing out like a gun now! Another paint tip is if your cruising along on baseboard on a hard floor and you put a little streak right in front of the board don't risk touching what you just painted. Just wrap your rag tight around the scraper end and run it over swipe mark. Gives you control of rag and it's flat. Oh and watch that curved blade when they're new. Lol
Nice video! Thanks!
Yep when I moved from painting to carpentry I brought all my 5-ways with me. It’s a flat-head screwdriver, the point is a Phillips head too, and the point works awesome for removing staples. One other awesome use is to pry on material to level it, like adjusting a sheet of plywood or even a window to level it.
The pointed end is perfect for that back itch beyond your reach
Sure is.
Also really good at opening 5 gallon metal paint buckets.
I buy a never used toilet scrubber best back scratcher in the world
LOL
I've been a Carpenter 35 years and I have one of these in every box I have, general purpos, trim, door& hardware, Millwright and even my cocreate, but I sharpen the forward blades to a razor edge, thanks for the viddy.....
I'm pushing 25 years in most of the building or finishing part of the trades. Historic restoration or remodeling I usually will do every part of Hands-On from demolition to the final cleaning and the five and one is a part of every piece of that. if I never was a carpenter that painted what I built then I probably would have never had it. I said in a previous comment before I saw this comment that it is crazy to me how many Carpenters don't know how much better that you can make a job turn out just by having one. You also have to have the ability to want to try to exceed and do the best job possible or most of the things that I do with it they wouldn't do anyways. I I was very fortunate to have old-school dudes that were very good at whatever trade I was working with to learn from. I was even more fortunate that I was smart enough to pay attention.
I use one of those tools for weeding the grass and driveway. The concave rounded edge is great for hooking around the roots of weeks in the lawn and either side of the pointed end works well to scrape weeds out from between slabs or the expansion joint in concrete.
This is a good tool I always use to get me out of binds.Especially doing floor work. Strip n waxing ,etc.. Underrated Tool!
You can also use it in conjunction with a sanding sponge to hold a door steady while painting. Place them together as a wedge between the bottom of the door and the floor. They're also fun to throw into wood and sheetrock.
That just changed my life
@@andrewsimpson2808 lol. Happy to help.
I spend summers painting classrooms at the school I work at. It work’s great for all of those things you mentioned and it’s great for pulling staples out of a wall quickly and easily. Something there is a lot of in a classroom.
I bought one recently and I love it!❤
I bought it originally for removing old sealant from a bathroom vanity but realised it has way more uses
Thanks for showing us many more uses👏👏
Somebody should give this guy a t.v. show. He’s awesome. Pretty sure I can trust his advice.
S Harper. Home Improvements OH, its already been done.
@@THEJR-of5tf
what?
Best hand-tool ever. I just taught my teen how to use it. I feel like I was passing down secret knowledge to a new generation.
Test. ask your teen next week if they remember what you told them.
@@pedraw he's been making good use of it during the quarantine. School work is scarce so I've put him to work!
Very nice. I think you did just that. Passed on good useful knowledge, to the younger generation. Good for you. You should be proud.
A good mom! Keep them busy. They’ll thank you in the future.
Teach him how to use the lawn mower next, then the weed whacker.
I have been curious about this tool for years, but never discovered how truly useful such a tool is until now. Thank you for a fantastic and practical video.
Tengo una herramienta similar a esta, como soy aficionado a los acodos aéreos, le vi un gran potencial, con eso, a tales fines le saqué más filo de manera que pudiera cortar fácilmente la corteza de la rama a trabajar. Hice una prueba, pero se requiere dar mayor afilamiento
Great video! I renovated an apartment and barely used it because I thought it was just a putty knife... Damn!
I’m a labourer for stucco. This tool helped me scrape and clean so many buckets and flashing. Easy to clean, small and light weight. Amazing tool
I too am a professional carpenter and it appears I need to add this in my tool cache. I have always used a bar scraper for many of the tasks in the video. I have contemplated the 5n1 but always thought it was gimmicky until now. Cheers.
I have also used mine for protecting the wood when hammering in nails...place the cutout around the nail and if you miss? You only hit the flat surface of the "100 in 1" and no ugly hammer indents on the wood.
Great video! As a drywall finisher, painter, and for carpentry uses, (I've used it for ALL these)
Tip:
First thing to do with the tool is to sharpen the leading edge to knife sharpness, including the back side of the pointed part.
Sharpen ONLY the beveled side, and, if necessary create a matched bevel on the inside of the point.
Use a well-stabilized or bench grinder. and finish as you would any precision blade.
You will find just how handy this is should you neglect to sharpen it in this way. You will most like do it as soon as you discover its insufficient sharpness.
It is also useful as the go-to tool for house and even engine cleaning and prying. Whether in those window corners (and some windows have lattice or even odd-stained glass shapes, so that sharpened point will be useful in perfectly finishing painting.
House cleaners, working on floor and any surface edge will vastly improve the speed of their complete cleaning with this tool.
In a pinch it will unscrew and screw your razor knife to change blade, or even remove switch plates. You will need to carry less tools around in noncarpentry jobs.
Ive used it for so many things that they cannot be itemized here.
I always keep two, one in car for emergencies.
Be careful with those edges and points. I had to return one because it was so sharp it represented a danger just handling it.
@@brodriguez11000 I was going to say. If this thing is sharpened, it will require a cover or holster so you don't end up cutting yourself. Seems inevitable.
@@matsudakodo I’ve got one that is a Purdy brand that is folding so I think I will try sharpening it
As a home owner I've used a 5 in 1 for everything. Recently I purchased a stainless 5 in 1 for kitchen use. Great for removing burned on food from pots and pans, skillets, etc. The eye roll I get from the wife is priceless.
George, some buttons are worth pushing, aren't they. LOL!
try 1 in 5
Maybe she's eye rolling , because you burn food a lot.
I've had one of these for years and never used it for more than a bit of scraping and putty smoothing. Now I have a whole new appreciation. Thanks!
I've said the same thing for years. There are several tools that lose their spot in the belt to the 5-1. Also, the longer the flat edge, the crappier the 5 in 1. I prefer the stubier 5 in 1 like the one you are holding in your garage for the interview portion of this video. NOT the wider HUSKY 5 in 1. There are different classes of 5 in 1. There has to be a point to stop adding on the this tool. I personally don't even like the teardrop nail puller. Glad to see someone else that values the 5 in 1.
I have always considered a 5 in 1 to be an essential hand tool to have . I am not a painter, I am a cabinet installer and finish carpenter but this tool is always in regular use. one thing I use it for a lot is when I am caulking , I use it to clean out excess caulk in tight little spots, I like to to be realy clean, none of that smearing a heavy bead of caulk with your finger and calling it done crap on my jobs, also makes a good pry bar, putty knife in a pinch , paint can opener, knife to cut old caulk joints when removing old trim or base and many more things!
I got a couple of these in different sizes when I was working as a house painter. I still use them all the time on a variety of household projects. And the best part is they only cost a couple of bucks.
Not much of a DIY person. But came across this many years ago and loved it. Then my son borrowed it, loved it, and it never returned. My daughter got new home and was dubious about the version I got her for their toolbox but soon singing it's praises. Titanium 14-1 non stick ordered.
I'm in the construction industry. I never leave home without that thing. When I do...I need it. A great tool in its quality versions.
i work as a dishwasher, and use one to help clean off burnt food from big pots after soaking them a bit. makes my job easier
I call mine Mr. Scrapey
I'll definitely carry this tool next time I'm stranded on an island that needs painting.
I hope the guy in the video is not offended by your humor.
Tyrone Kim probably not! He’s knows some people just suck!
I wonder if you bang this tool hard enough on someones head , would it get rid of a lisp
This why I like the comments section
🤣😅😂
I came upon this video and since I have been using one as a carpenter for over 30 years I had to watch. HC pretty much nailed it. Introduced my son to one 20 years ago and he told me that pretty much every guy in his VW bus club now has one in their toolbox. Good job HC. What is a 5 in 1 now like a 15 in one.
I like tools. I love my painters tool. Additional use: If you're painting, you can usually undo the screws on wall and outlet plates with it. If the plate is stuck to the wall with paint, place your blade edge along the long side of the plate and give the handle a whack. Pops the plate off without prying.
Yup I’m in construction. Mostly residential. We use these all the time.
I’ve carried one and referred to it as the Magic Tool for 20 plus years. Mostly, as a trim carpenter, it’s great for prying baseboards and casing off the walls. And scraping drywall mud off the corners near the floor before running new base.
Thanks Christopher. Yep, pulling trim is 90% of what is routinely use this tool for
I’ve been saying this for years! It’s probably my most used tool. A lot of my work jeans have a small hole in the back pocket from carrying around my 5.
This guy is a salesman. I dont even need it but im gonna buy one.
This is a tool everyone takes for granted. Carried one for 20 years, use it every day, never thought about it... like the hammer and speed square.. you just replace it if you lose or break it. Never thought about it. I have about 5. The wood handle embee tools are the best. If you can find one, sand off the base handle wood and expose the steel. Now it is a chisel too.
Most of the newer chinese models are junk. That is why i have 5 of them.
agree.... i neither need it, but hell i´m buying one today.
I bet you've used it already 😏
You think you don't need one...until you have one...ONE THING: Y'all, get a GOOD painters tool. You'll know because it will say Husky or have a METAL ASS END. This is super important because you don't get the pry/chisel use out of a $Hitty tool. The metal butt lets you use it like a driving blade, by smacking the metal back of it with a hammer. Don't cheap out and DONT LET ANYONE LESS EXPERIENCED THAN YOU TO USE IT. They'll mess it up. Believe me. Lives will be lost.
😁😁
Totally agree. I've had mine for close to 20 years. First used it on the job in a shop. It never left my side.
maybe you'll get that $1 raise now
After watching this video , I received this tool within 4 days and LOVE it . Hard to sharpen , but the edge retention is excellent for linoleum , vinyl , carpet , siding , shingle repair and even using for heavy duty wire stripping . It cuts heavy rope and cordage and is perfect for removing the scales from steel head fish and cleaning catfish . Thanks for the advice .
I use a dremel to sharpen all of my tools and knives (it does everything, scissors, those electric hedge trimmers, I think it can sharpen literally everything) and I highly recommend it. It's actually a somewhat useful tool in general for places that are too tight for a sawzall, grinder, or oscillating tool. It has a much more obvious use in finish work and fine detailing but I've cut my share of fasteners, pipe, sheetmetal, drywall, etc. with a dremel. It's nice especially in lieu of a router. Anyway that's my dremel plug I promise they're not paying me lol
I've liked all the videos I've seen and unlike others I can tell that you are a carpenter and I respect that . Having framed houses for 30 plus yrs. and knowing how useful a ( painters tool ) is it's good to see you spreading the word !!
I’m a trim carpenter, I’ve always told everyone this is the best tool ever, I actually carry two in my belt
I’d say cats claw is probably best tool for trim carpentry specifically five in one is best overall
Professional carpenter for 35 years I've had one in my tool pouch since day one. Best tool ever.
I spent 10 years as a flooring installer and carried a "5-way" all day, every day. These days it's always near the top of my toolbox. Some things just work.
I worked as a union tile finisher for 25 years and used this tool all the time. I called it the “Ninja Tool” because it could do everything, although I primarily used it as a chisel. Squaring off corners when you’re grouting to doing patches. This and a marking towel are two of the best, most versatile hand tools that you can carry.
I love this tool. I’ve been using it for years on all kinds of jobs. I keep it in my back pocket when I’m working. You are right this is the most useful tool you can own!
The butt is also rounded for when you're smoothing the wall. Use it to push in drywall on nail holes. It makes puttying faster
oh my GOD PUSH THE DRYWALL ON HOLES, that's genius
Lol I read this wrong.
Omg! No one has thought of that, ever! 🙀
@@DeepThinker193 The butt...
holes.
Why not just use the back of the taping knife? Why would you grab another tool for that?
I've had this tool in my arsenal for years and had no idea how useful it is! Thanks, I'll be finding uses now that I've begun woodworking.
Eathan James, you are the best teacher on utube. I’ve been a carpenter for 25 years and I always learn something new from you! You’re the best
The point at the end of the bevel can be used to set finish nails. I use this tool on all of my finish wood working. I have 4 of them because it is a great multitool. If the Island trees are soft woods, this tool would cut limbs off of island soft wood. :)
Thank you...the cylinder thing I'd driving me nuts lol.
The end of the handle is also good for smacking a wall where a nail has been pulled, indenting the area so you can mud it nicely.
I'm doing drywall work in my garage right now. You just made my project that much easier. Thanks a bunch.
My dad worked in construction for 40+ years. Over some of my summer breaks (probably when my mom had had enough of me lol), he'd take me with him to work. He fitted me with bags, gloves, etc., but the first tool he bought me was a 5-in-1. He always said it was the only tool he used every day, from the start of a project to the bitter end. lol
Nice story
I’m buying my first 5-way today, I’ve looked at them in the big box stores, you sold me today! Thanks for always being honest in your reviews!
I'm this many days old, that I found out that the curved part is used to clean paint rollers.
I used to use the round part to clean pipes or rather the round sides of scaffle parts. There are two round sides though. There on both sides.
I started the bathroom renovation today.
I don’t know how you do one without a five in one tool.
Is the only tool I won’t leave the house without other than my drill
Same here. Lol I’ll pick one up before the next time I paint, cleaning rollers sucks
Same
If you keep watching these types of videos you will not only learn something new everyday but multiple things a day.👍
I love this tool too. Have always had one. I recently learned that you are supposed to use the rounded end to push into nail holes and round them out before filling. It works really well, especially if the drywall paper is a bit jagged at the edges.
Omg this is hilarious. I renovate swimming pools and i have this exact same tool. I love the thing and swesr by it! It is great for doing liner tucks, removing old skimmer and main drain gaskets, lifting up stubborn rail rings, and various other problems that present themselves. Some of the best 5 bucks i've ever spent. I thought i was the only person who felt this way.
legit- exact same... those rail rings that've been "in place" for 25 years are much more difficult than one would think (not to mention the securing bolts hidden under years of compacting dirt/debris). This tool is GOLD when dealing with anything if that sort- or, as stated, installing/removing liner & liner locks and scraping old, melted gaskets, o-rings, the like... and always handy to have a good ole sturdy metal butt plate to beat the hell out of stubborn things (which is inevitable in almost every unkempt pool for one/every task). I work fire and as a tac-medic and have every demolition/extrication/forcible entry tool imaginable- which have their uses for sure- but by far this, 3/8 ratchet, and quality flat head BY FAR most used hand tools...
I have this tool, it is a life saver. I’m using it now for scrapping off old silicone around my bath tub. Thanks for your video.
I'm in the flooring business and have used this for almost 40 years.My dad(who was my boss)called it a handy-dandy.I still call it that.
I just finished painting my house...believe me things would have been easier if I had this tool. Thanks!
Luis Quinones Me too. Wish I would’ve known i needed a brush or roller too. Very messy. Did have rubber gloves to apply paint though.
Use brushes instead
Sheep skin rollers are the best. Properly cleaned with soap and water. The last forever!
I'm 60 yrs old, been using that tool since I was 17 yrs old because I couldn't afford to buy more tools
Damn boy, 43 years and still cant afford more tools?
Tools are free man. You pay for them upfront, but they return youre money in a matter of weeks. After that they just make you money
You couldn't find anymore tools? You couldn't get a job and have $10 to spare? Maybe you just suck at surviving. Lucky you found 1 tool that does it all
Amateur DIY here, got one a few years ago when I bought my first house. I intended to use it as a putty knife at first. Boy I can tell you, I have found it invaluable in so many aspects of remodeling and repairing stuff in the home. Especially cleaning up my own messes, lol. Just used it to remove door trim for the first time the other day too. It really is an awesome tool! Great vid my friend.
This looks like a very handy tool if stranded on a deserted island...and you are planning on doing renovations.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who found this video very disappointing
lol, yeah what a fucking idiot. Bring an ax or a hammer or a saw or whatever else tool really. 100x more useful
I use this tool all the time in the sheet metal trade. My favorite tool, I use the tip to cut the metal by striking the backside, I use the point to open up my drives and also to open up the slips.
This is my 'Go To' tool. Another great use when painting, is using it to cut drain holes around the top of the paint can. That is, where the lid seals onto the can, you use the pointy end to punch through the bottom of the "U" shape in three or four places to allow the paint to drain out of this channel after pouring...
That works if you going to use the full can, but prevents a good seal if you have some left over.
@@chrisgraham2904 Actually, I not had any problems with partial cans over the past 25+ years of working this way.
It does seem counterintuitive considering the inner ring of the paint can is the primary seal, but as long the lid goes back on tightly, it's worked for me.
@@rs2352 Less of a problem with latex or acrylic paints. Alkyd paints and polyurethanes benefit from an air tight seal.
Very clear you are the most perceptive carpenter on the Internet. I have used a five and one for every one of those uses you described in my 40 years realistically you boil it down To perfection
When I Ieave my 5 in 1 behind, all work stops until I backtrack and find it. Cant agree more, it is probably the most versatile tool in the bag. Super useful 👍👍
As a beekeeper, an hive removal specialist, the Husky is my favorite hive tool!
my Husky is afraid of bees. He got stung once and went AROOOO for like an hour.
I have a set of Huskies in standard and metric, but I don't know how to use them to remove hives. I can't find the nuts where it is bolted on.
an obscure and old world usage--when glazing old wooden windows--the pointy part of the tool makes a nice clean corner in the putty. try it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have those windows and love them.
Coming back when I have time to read the entire comment section, an excellent tutorial in itself. Thanks, guys and gals.
I use 2 of these for removing glazing beads when I'm changing double glazed units,they are so useful and never damage the window frame 👍
I’ve been a glazier for 19 years this is always in my bags/back pocket best hand tool ever
Thanks Matt! I don't meet too many glaziers anymore. Great to hear from someone with your level of experience :)
I have been a glazier for 32 years and I have this tool for one job when replacing draught proofing on pvc windows sometimes the rubber draught proofing is glued in the corners and the pointy bit is great for scraping out the rubber from the groove.
Which brand/model can you reccommend?
Jingo Unchained I like the Hyde brand.
I love tools.
I don't need one of these, but since I'm stopping at Menards today I can't help but pick one up.
I'm sure once I start using this tool I'll wonder why I didn't buy one sooner.
Thanks for the review.
Im So grateful for this video someone left this tool in my basement when I moved in 7 yrs ago and never knew what it was used for. Ive been painting my master bdrm this weekend and I decided to give it a try so I opened paint cans, scraped old cruddy old paint off the floor now I know what else to use it for TFS👍
This tool is great for Interlock as well. Scraping sand in between stones and using it to pry stones up or move them. Great tool to have overall
YES it is. It's also a badass landscaping, gardening tool. Honestly it's just a badass tool all the way around.
We call it a painters friend and yes its very useful. I couldnt even guess how many of them I have bought over the years
Another one to add to the list, wallpaper removal tool. Once you apply/spray your preferred wallpaper removal chemical, this tool makes great use of carving out sections of old wallpaper. Better than a regular putty knife because of the width and sharper edge.
so that's what the rounded edge is for lol. I've used this tool for everything but that. Also great for shaving drywall edges when your cut was just a lil' over
When I don't have a project going, I keep mine in the mudroom. Perfect for scraping mud off of shoes & boots.
I keep one in the door panel in my truck for the same thing.
I rebuilt the big block in my 70 Chevelle with this tool. Thank you, I couldn't have done it without it.
Lol
"I rebuilt the big block in my 70 Chevelle with this tool. Thank you, I couldn't have done it without it."
but isn't that the same thing that your mother said to you?
My dad used it to dig out small tree stumps one time. He always carried it in his pocket. After that, we started calling it the 20 in 1 tool. I have 3 of them now and gave them to my kids for Christmas last year. Love this tool!!
Never thought of this. I'm impressed and thank you for the tutorial!
I used mine for scraping the blue off the concrete when I pulled up my carpet. Now it's missing. I am going to buy another one asap. Loved it.
Thank you for the video on this. My wife used to do painting and tried to explain why this was the best tool ever, and I think you added to her list! LOL
