#1 Tool: Toasted sandwich press. Gotta have them warm toasted sandwiches on a cold winter's day. 🥳
Yeah buddy!! 👌
You can even cook bacon and eggs on one of you feel the need. (Wet paper towel will steam clean it!)
Do I have to look this up? I Feel like I've never seen one....
@@yamahondazuki95
It's just a sandwich press. I keep one in my work truck all the time 🤤
I ve made entire meals on those things! Burgers, Saté, potato slices, jum!
"if you're installing a kitchen get a track saw" - Funnily enough, I just finished installing a kitchen, and bought a track saw for it. Worth every penny.
Yes, and a 1/2" router for the joints?
Did the same thing, totally worth it!
Love my 36v makita Track saw
Sure they're great but when a track saw can be substituted by a piece of mdf and 2 clamps there are a large number of tools that take priority.
Most versatile and precise tool - love track saw.
As a cabinetmaker i can agree a track saw is well worth the investment. It saves so much time with scribing, and pays itself off with the amount that i use it. Couldn't imagine going without it now. Definitely recommend it
Thanks for the new episode, over 3 weeks in lock down now (UK House building) I have far too many tools for my job as a carpenter of 30+ years (and other trades tools ) what I actually use on site from cordless extractors, miter saws etc but when I'm at home doing a little 'DIY' I break out the old nobex hand mitre saw which is very accurate, and various hand tools, taking time to sharpen well, even saws as well as chisels and planes. May be for the weekend warrior, acquiring and learning how to use hand tools to make say a small storage box etc as these skills can easily be up scaled up and used to fit doors, kitchens or roofs as these are all elementary and it's having the eye for accuracy and detail, what makes a good tradesman. I'll have to have another lie down after that, keep it up.
As a carpenter - Best ever tool's that I got is my Dewalt Table saw - Cordless Makita track saw - Makita cordless drill combo and a Multi tool .
I have the same. Upgraded from corded to cordless track saw & what a difference. As much as I don't like to admit it, I added a Ryobi multi tool to the van & it sits in the draw right next to the Makita one at twice the price, yet I grab the Ryobi almost every time...it's that much better.
For a beginner an MFT and track saw could do the job of a table saw and miter saw. Not ideal for a professional set up as it would be too slow but then again there are cabinet makers producing real detailed work with just that set up.
As a carpenter from Canada, M18 Milwaukee fuel impact/drill combo kit is the best impact setup out there. I've had both Makita and Dewalt.
@@anand8905 what are your thoughts on hikoki? I personally think they have the best on markets when using others
@@chapperscarpentry7943 I love their nailers
Ah yes! And a truckload of pencils, or a great mechanical pencil.
Hung about 8 doors earlier this year and made good money.
Only needed a drill, chisels and a hammer. Along with the basic measuring tools. A friend was kind enough to lend a planer.
I wouldn't call myself Paul Sellers, but I got quite the confidence boost for doing a quality job with what I had.
I've seen every scott brown carpentry video! Just found him two weeks ago! Good stuff!!!
Good to see you can still turn these out during lockdown!
i'm a regular joe and i have almost all these tools, love making man glitter with them...
espn mk man glitter!!!! Love it.
My diesel generator made its own man glitter when I didn't ask for it tho.....
Man I’ve missed your vids! Wish I hadn’t exhausted your back catalogue before all this mess we’re in! ✌️ from the U.K.! Hope you’re staying safe and well!!
Great list! My favorite tool is my kreg jig k5. I love the pocket holes!
DIY guy here. Inadvertently acquired the first five tools in that exact order (@5:35.) Appreciated the natural progression through them, and it is indeed time for a table saw in my projects. Keep up the great work, and awesome video as always.
Good to see you haven’t gone crazy yet keep up the good work cheers Scott
I think a track saw is indispensable these days. When I bought mine it transformed my woodworking. A mate of mine is a carpenter. He was so impressed by my ts55 that he went out and bought one straight away and now it's his most used tool next to his drill/impact driver.
It seems as you have some experience, so I'll ask you a question: if I were to buy a track compatible circular saw, would I then "need" a tracksaw later, or do you think it would be sufficient with just the circ saw?
Love your videos, Scott - keeping me sane(ish) in lockdown! I’m a keen DIYer and have to say I love my Dewalt tablesaw (DW745) and my Bosch starlock multi tool. Accuracy of the former’s fence and immediate attachment and release of the blades or sanding pad for the latter. Used to get so frustrated with the Allen key attachment for blades on my old multi tool. Keep the vids comming! H
Good to see you back with another exciting episode Mr Scott Brown. I always look forward to the next one!! Hopefully you can get back out there soon mate. Love and peace from Australia
Thank you Scott for another exciting episode ;)
Thanks for still making content Scott, I would love to see more Tool review/opinion videos. This was great!
love the video's mate brings back memories of when my grandfather was pass on the knowledge that his father passed to him
I strongly recommend a dust extractor - its helps in SO many places. With a good dust extractor I can work without shielding everything off. I have sanded indoor, with very limited cleanup afterwards...
I agree, I just sanded my stairs.
Without an extractor.... No good. XD
@@Asientabs one hour sanding = two hours cleaning up the house ;)
After two years of renovating our home in the weekend we bought the cheapest Kärcher vacuum cleaner (€60). It has been the best investment in the whole house! We spent more on dusk masks to that time then the cost of the vacuum...
Try mirka roundy hand sanding kit, fits on to vac / extractor, virtually dust free and the mesh abrasive pads very good, can apply a finish ASAP cos no cleanup, love it and only £30ish
YaY another video, thank you so much for posting. We love your attention to detail can’t wait to see more video! Thank you once again, keep up the good work!
As a newbie myself, I would personally add a jig saw. Incredibly handy, light and relatively cheap. It will get you out of s lot of trouble and used way more than I thought it would.
Yep! I think it's one of the more underestimated tools - you can cut all kinds of fancy joints with a jigsaw - use it as a tablw saw, chisel, demo saw, metal saw - limits are endless!
Love the jigsaw easy to operate cuts those tight corners just don’t cut too much, cut outside the line and sand off the blade marks
I'm glad I have the tools that you recommend for weekend warriors. Even have a nail gun. One day I will use it!
Thanks Scott, great channel ! Keep on, cheers from France
Great to see another video! I have the Ryobi finishing nailer and it works really well!
I bought exactly the top 4 that you recommend for my first house renovation. Then sander since I redid all the walls with drywall. We can do some pretty accurate linear cutting with a hand circular saw. It comes with a guide. I made some door frames with it, they were accurate to within one mm. Thanks for the video.
I'm a general builder, and I would say the top three tools for a starter would be an impact driver, saw and a hammer - you could build a house with these three tools.
I say impact driver because you can drive massive fasteners, as well as use drill bits without risk of injury (such as drilling into steel).
Everything else just increase efficiency or accuracy. 👍
Very nice. Good that you highlighted just normal DIYer and not trying to push very expensive tools. .Cheers
I love your vids mate, also reminds me of the city I love. Spent 9 years near Auckland and miss the people and place so much 👍
Some time ago I was put onto the battery powered AEG tools and for the most part I've been very happy with them. They have a significantly longer warranty on batteries and gear and in my experience they compare well to Makita. The AEG brushless battery grinder and brushless battery circ saw seem pretty heavy going on batteries, but I have nothing to compare them too. I'd add a couple of good chisels and a good sharpening method for same to both lists. Stay safe and well. Cheers, David
Really happy to see you in my notifications. Don't think I could get through quarantine with out you man. I've re watched all of your videos!!!
Got a few hours of content over here mate 😉👍ruclips.net/video/GfuO5W7qOug/видео.html
Really good Scotty. I am just starting in the DIY space and am building a built-in wardrobe. I used a multi-purpose tool, corded-drill and a hand saw. I'm 3/4 way through.
Love your videos Scott!!!! Very honest and engaging!! Keep up the good work....... ❤️ the UK #stay safe
I love your take on brands - spot on
Well done scott.thats just too good.keep bringing it on brother
Hi Scott, thanks for the video Stay Safe trough this difficult times
My top 8 are = 1. General drill 2. Circular saw 3. Grinder 4. Nail bar/ crow bar/ claw bar 5. Multi tool 6. Impact driver 7. Finishing gun 8. Mitre saw
Utility knife, or multi-tool with one but those aren't usually that great. I guess you could consider it more of an required accessory it is a tool though.
Nathan Mitchell i think it’s an essential tool as I use it for a lot of different things
Good list in the right order.
During the lockdown I just built a skullery extension to the kitchen. Ended up doing all the framing including the subfloor, walls and roof with a cordless circular saw and a hand-held set-square guide for it. Initially couldn't be assed setting up the big Dewalt droppie and table because of the threatening rain and ended up just doing the whole thing that way for the hell of it. So refreshing just going basic. ... errm apart from the Paslode.
Going to whatch the video now and I am looking so forward to it!
Looking forward to another exciting episode! Stay safe and well. 😉
I love my multitool....and just purchased an angle grinder (it was on sale at the hardware store) for some tile work. That is another useful tool - angle grinder, if you are doing a large amount of metal work or vinyl siding. Although the multi tool is great for little jobs such as cutting a door jamb to insert some flooring underneath or if you have to cutout a piece of drywall cleanly
Hi Scott, I do lots of carpentry myself and think your missing a crucial tool. The Jigsaw....great humble tool..cheap too. My top 4 are : combi drill driver, compound mitre saw, Circular saw and Jigsaw 👌
Oh and also an electric plane. ....perfect if your hanging doors. 👌
Great videos though Scott, Keep them coming here in the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Scott for the vids ... it's helping to keep me sane. For power tools, I've gone with Milwaukee because of the battery technology and choice of tools they provide that all use the same M18 platform. But as soon as I buy the latest tool, they come out with a more improved model. Ah, the good old days of hammering nails all day.
Then once in a while they produce a dud not often. Gen1 brad. They don't have the MetaboHPT/Hikoki selection in most of Canada that is everywhere else.
I like your method of delivering content
Realistically beginner friendly
Thank you!
good vid scott B lots of time i guess at level 4 i started with basic tools as a keen DIY er added tools as i needed them for deck projects and home renovations, a good hammer drill concrete drill was a must for me for doing lots of holes into concrete, got a medium size second hand ramset and its been great, also having drill and drivers seperate was a time saver
Great video!!! Been missing SBC!!!
I like Makita due to the huge LXT range of tools - once you have a few batteries it is easy & cheap to buy body only tools without batteries & chargers.
Their LXT garden tool range is excellent also.
I second that about their garden tools. I bought the hedge trimmer expecting it to be a small one-off job tool but it turned out to be incredible. I now use it as the number one trimmer and the petrol powered one is only used for high trimming.
I agree, have the cordless chainsaw Strimmer and mower much better than petrol gear which I must sell on at some point, wish neighbour went to battery powered kit as it is quite anti social using petrol blowers mowers hedge cutters etc one after another.
@@richardcapey-wade8191 : I notice that my electric blower still makes an unholy racket..
(it's the blower "dummy" - jks)
Plus they often give free batteries. This always makes me buy extra as I fool myself into needing another battery.. which now has an added ‘free tool’ for a small cost.
Milwaukee's got the best line out there hands down, their M18 fuel line is unbeatable.
Architrave - had to look that one up :)
This is a nice creative lock-down video, Scott. Well done!
Great info, thank you!
dude, your creativity is next level man!!!
Gooood analysis Scott!. So, in my case...
1998 handsaw and level (small carpentry)
2001 drill, 2006 circular saw (small things and some furniture)
2011 combined mitre/table saw (decking, railing, outdoor furniture, cabinets...)
2014 makita mitre saw (my own house!! and its furniture)
2020 makita table saw (whatever a want and have time to...)
I'm glad to be on the way!!
I’m in my 25th year as a carpenter. 100% agree brand doesn’t matter. Broom and vacuum are probably most used tools of any type. My top 8 building tools: 1) Experience 2) Experience 3) Experience 4) cordless drill/impact 5) circular saw 6) level/plumb line laser 7) miter saw 8) table saw.
So cool SBC.. you’re very creative & clever. 👍😎
Great video. Stay safe Scotty!
Great video again Scott !
Rip and flip! Nice move on the table saw
I noticed this move too and was curious is this primarily for efficiency and because there's not outfeed table? always taught to have the waste to the left of the blade just curious
Very common process when using a table saw, you must now use one often @ Perkins Builder Brothers :P
Loved the detailed and easy to understand video.
Great video, just what I need
Another great (and exciting) video Scott, thanks very much. One tool you didn't mention and is definitely in the upper end is an inexpensive laser level. I know you can do it all with a standard level, but once I hung a door using a laser I don't think I would go back. And don't even consider tiling a shower or back splash, or even hanging a few pictures. For around $100 (US$) it is an inexpensive luxury.
Thanks Scott
Good, clear advice.
Great video, I just do odd jobs for myself and other people and started with ryobi many years ago and the original drill I got 10+ years ago still works well. But I also have a mix of batteries as I found adapters to fit batteries of different types to the gear I use
Love your videos, Scott! You inspired me to create a youtube channel recently. Cheers!
For battery tools I can highly recomend Ryobi, the only reason I bought Ryobi was because I needed a finishing gun, and 4-5 years ago there wherent many on the marked. And i extended the collection alot seens then and renovated my whole house from the studs! For plug in tools like my tablesaw, dropsaw, tracksaw I got bosch (blue) and are very happy whit that! At work (plumber) I use Milwaukee and Hilti at and they are I think not the best but a good alternativ (the company's tools). Its like you say, stick with one of the top brands and you be good. Nice to see you again and stay safe, greetings from Norway :)
Thanks very much for this (and of course all the other videos). I am not a carpenter but someone owning a house there is always something to do :) I am living in Germany and things are quite different here what makes your videos very interesting for me. Thanks and best regards
Stephan
The beginning was hilarious. I was wondering what you would do with your videos during the lock down. Kudos Scott.
Stay safe! Hope you have a good rest👍👍
Aloha Scott, just started watching your channel since I'm researching tools for DIY. About to get started on gutting and renovating our downstairs once the tenants are out at the end of the month. Already had the Makita 18v impact driver, so I'm building out based on that platform. Already got a couple of good Cyber Monday deals on the subcompact drill (with 1.5 batt.) and a 36v rear handle circular (with two 5.0 batt.) saw which also came with the mini router (tool only), so I already have 4 batts. Would have selected the multitool instead of the router, but I'm planning to get the newer version with less vibration based on your feedback and research. I'll eventually give away or sell the few corded tools I have to go totally cordless. It is a pain to search for outlets and run cord vs just grabbing a tool with built in power. Probably stick with corded if/when I get a table and compound miter saw.
Gotta admit I'm both excited and nervous to get started on my first reno. Luckily, my wife's friend who's a contractor will be involved and can help me show me the ropes before I screw things up too bad. Ha! Daughter also wants me to build shelving units to replace drawers, which was another reason for choosing the router.
You're very easy to follow & engaging...thanks for the videos & Take Care, Brian
Really enjoyed this video
I'm in the US and got a Ryobi drill and driver because it wasn't expensive and I was moving away from corded tools. Then another Ryobi tool and and a battery and before you know it it's costly to change. These are not for heavy duty job-site use but fine for a DIY'er and the batteries are universal from woodworking tools to yard tools and chainsaws. Love the videos and info - stay safe over there.
If you are in the US you should be using Dewalt as it is cheaper, reliable and easy to source.
Good work Scott
I started with a secondhand Festool drill 7 years ago and build my small business with that, I still use it almost every day. ;) Nice video, looking forward to the next one!
Kreg track for your circular saw is a great home owner compromise. I love my multi tool too!
What a great video mate.
Scott, if you like your table saw so much, look into a Rousseau saw stand with out and infeed tables. I notice the finish carpenters using them at jobs.
Pneumatic nailers are more affordable(1/3 to half the cost of a cordless nailer ) if you don't mind having a compressor and a hose.
This is helpful as I have only recently starting building. So far I have Makita Cordless Drill, Driver, Blower, Circular Saw, Router and Grinder...have been trying to decide what’s next out of Multi-Tool, Sabre Saw, Planer, Orbital Sander, Nail Gun and Impact Wrench 🤔
Great video. As I'm in no capacity a professional I combined a circular saw with a tracksaw. Bought a Makita (HS7601J) which with an adapter-bracket (197005-0) would fit the standard railing from Makita (Q311). Much easier to make straight cuts and also nice to have the flexibility of one saw for two purposes.
Tablesaw definitely on my want list!
Such a hard topic to choose.......... brave man. (expect the full range of Ryobi tools heading your way, you can review them whilst were all bored on lockdown) my 1st 'combination' drill set was Ryobi £99 for 2 drills (no impact driver in those days) in a case 2 batteries & charger, and I think they were the 1st with the one battery fits all mantra, it's such a shame that there are no really big tool sellers around like there used to be, most of it online only a few places you can 'feel' the tool makes a big difference IMO....good Vid
I went for Hikoki just for the nail guns. This year I bought the framing nailer and I admit it hurt when the cashier removed my kidney but I haven't regretted my decision. My brother called me during the hottest day of the year (so far) and asked if I could help him on a project and I came over with my nail gun and dad came over with his mitre saw. Dad cut the boards with the mitre saw and I nailed them in no sweat. I love my nail gun!
Oooo fancy blue blade on that circular saw
I wouldn't be without my Bosch rechargeable screwdriver. Small and powerful has all bits in magazine in tool, so changed in seconds. Only drawerback is one speed. Would prefer variable. Good video!
great video as usual
hi from colorado keep it up life will go on stay safe have a grat day
Thanks for still making content
As a general contractor we use by far the most often impact, oscillating saw, 4-1/2” circular saw, and level.
Of course we have many other tools, and all are used. Most all of our tools are dewalt 20v/60v platform
Nailers: Framing nailer, 16g finish nailer, 18g brad nailer, 23g pin nailer
Saws: table saw, compound miter, circular saw 7-1/4”, circ saw 4-1/2”, oscillating saw, reciprocating saw, jig saw, tile saw
Impacts/Drivers: single speed impact, multi speed impact, standard drill, hammer drill
Finish work: router, rotary tool, belt sander, orbital sander
Hand tools: everything known to man 😂😂😂
Great video Scott. Completely agree on the tools you’ve said - nail guns are definitely on everyone’s list of things to get but they are so expensive! 😂
You can get a nice "super quiet" compressor and a nail gun kit, with a framing nailer, 18 gauge ,and 15 gauge nailers for about the same as ONE cordless nailer. Even as a professional I started with air tools and then invested in the cordless Hitachi's. The only real value as a pro with cordless is it saves you so much time vs packing and unpacking the air tools.
I think for the DIYer a nice small compressor and pneumatic nail guns are a better option, and even the professional. I love my new Metabo cordless nailers but I also really like my super quiet California Air compressor and Hitachi nail guns. Pneumatics are much lighter and less bulky for tight quarters work. Plus you can get a full set of pneumatic nail guns and a palm nailer for less than just one cordless nailer.
YAAAY NEW SCOTT BROWN YAAAY
I already owned a drill, jigsaw and circular saw. The moment I got a table saw I unlocked so much possibilities and better workflow.
Scott broon is back in toon. Ach aye man!
Been watching your videos for several months now, I’ve been loving your videos, the esthetics,the music, and you all seem like great guys.
Thanks for all the info along the way, you’ve been an inspiration in remodeling my house!
This video is posted on my birthday.
A laser level would probably be on my list!
A couple of Quick clamps are also very useful as a small tool in the kit !
My Order would be: Drill, Jigsaw, Circ or Track Saw,, Mitre Saw, Table Saw. You really improved on your video skills like it!!
I'm also wondering why a jigsaw isnt part of the list. i must say for DIY I'd get a jigsaw before table and mitre saw
As a painter, top tools would be sanders, dust extractor, electric plane, drill, impact driver, multitool, decent screw drivers and quality brushes and rollers! Not much we can't fix on a job with them! Bonuses are quality LED lights, a good flashlight and a leatherman surge!
Glad to see you back! Was worried you were getting lost in your bubble.I enjoy your content and country. Would move there. Unfortunately my kind are no longer accepted.
Anyone else totally binge-watching this channel even though they aren't a tradesperson and not very good with DIY? Scott,awesome content, keep up the good work hope you can get to 250k subs and then on to 1m in no time. Production quality, chilled vibes, interesting content, love it!!
Nice to see someone saying it like it is. All those brands are good. There are so many ridiculous videos testing tools waaaay beyond their design scope proving one brand is a fraction of a second faster than another meanwhile forgetting actual things that matter like trigger feel, tool on-board LED lighting, or how the grip feels in the hand. The balance and weight. I'll often reach for what feels "right" in the hand over pure power and speed. No one needs RSI when you need to be able to work to make money.
Yup Perfectly said, to me, it came down to what was on sale at the time, and had good reviews. Didn’t put much more Houghton into it because the main 5 brands are so similar
It's all good stuff really, started off with hand tools and a cordless drill in the 80s, remember cutting 9x3 joists with a bow saw and bumping floors with lost head nails, but kind of enjoyed it but wouldn't want that now.
Hi Scott, you are an awesome man. I have learned from you so many things. Dannie Kim.
