So what is in your tool bag?
I will not leave the house without my leatherman multi tool. Im surprised you dont carry one of those. I also have the bit sets with it and a small flashlight mounted on the leatherman case. Shorter days at this time of year its nice to have the flashlight for the end of the day, also finding water hook ups in mechanical rooms its nice to have that small flashlight (we do mostly new construction)
No tool bag just a 5 in 1 and a knife and some sandpaper in my pocket
I like to carry a can of spray primer because every now and then you scrape something or fill a nail hole with spackle and its convenient to be able to pull it out and hit it then so you don't forget. It would be nice to have a velcro flap/lid thing. The tool belts I try something always wants to fall out when I bend over.
I carry most of those tools in my pockets.
Don’t forget about the hex key for the bathroom towel rack and toilet paper holder.
Ahhh the ol hex key battle of ages
The Lord has helped me start my own painting business. Your videos are awesome! Thank you
Thank you🤙
Hope all goes well man god bless
@@triplea6174 thank you 😊
I used to work installing PVC pipelines but now I'm a new learning painter. I use my husky tool pouch and have my brush my rag my abrasive sandpaper and sanding block. One has to mess around with it and eventually all the things I need are nice and organized. Great videos 😎👍I'm learning a lot of great techniques from a profesional 😎👍👍
Big thanks from PHX AZ , Recently discovered Paint Life TV channel a few months back, I've been painting interior/exterior residential for the past 5 years, along with drywall and roofing repair. I have been expanding the painting side of my family home improvement business. I can't thank you enough for all the knowledge and helpful information you provide to everyone curious about painting on this channel.! Looking forward to learning and watching more of your entertaining videos ! Everyday I look through your valuable content for helpful hacks I didn't know about and for that I'm grateful . BLESSINGS - WESLEY NOURSE
I've been using the same style tool bag on a belt for the past five years painting and the tools selection is almost identical! Keep up with the great videos!!!
This guys the best, I’ve learned so much in quick time and improved my skills by using some tips and tricks. Thank you for all your tips and tricks.
Great video. Thanks for sharing and showing us all the tools that you use on a regular basis. This definitely helps us be more efficient. Rock on!
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos have been so helpful Chris for me to learn to spray paint and much more. Many thanks!
I run a tool bag. I'd also have a duster brush added to this list. Good to see the 5-in-1/blade... Thank you.
Hey Chris. When I started out I never used a tool bag. Here in the last 2 years I now have 3 husky tool bags. One for power watching, one for interiors and one for exterior. I found it’s much easier to jump from job to job having an interior and exterior bag both. Always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
what do you keep in your power washing bag?
Thanks for sharing
The real question is how do you hang up 3 tool bags in the work truck
@@cottagepainter6564 tips probably. O rings, connectors, wrenches...
@Alan Richecky does that sound right?
@@cottagepainter6564 I normally keep an extra spray tips, wrench, flat and Phillip head screw drives, and a 2 edge knife. The reason I keep extra spray tips is just in case I drop one I don’t have to stop production and I can keep going. I use a soap tip when I’m washing a house so sometimes when I’m on a ladder, I will drop one. Not to offend but it does happen. Yes I pick them up when I’m on the ground. Wrench and screw drivers are for taking house number, downspouts or anything else that need taken down. Normally I take all those things off before I start power washing but sometimes things get over looked. That way I don’t have to walk to the trailer or the other side of the house to get a tool. The 2 edge knife is for if there is an old wasp nest on the house, I can scrape it off right when and there.
Wow nice editing! As a woman who has a not so handy husband this is so useful for me.
Hey christ I'm starting my painting business this year here in pocatello idaho I learned a lots from you keep up the work!!!💪
Can't wait to see ur new bag design,top video as always 💪
You and me both!
Really appreciate all your Videos always Learning tips Thanks for Sharing your trade
My pleasure!
Thanks Chris!
You bet!
I use a similar pouch.. its a half of a carpenter pouch set up that I've had for 20 years..ive always thought about a nice custom painter pouch.. Glad to see you are moving forward with it.. Love the videos and much credit and respect from a fellow painter from Cape Cod Massachusetts
Forgot to mention, my pouch holds basically all.the same.stuff you have in yours haha
Thanks for making these videos and keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Bybthe end of the day I will have one of those. Thank you.
I personally use a rubberized metal drill hook to hold my tape it’s sleek thin lightweight and extremely comfortable I barely notice it. it’s also a lot faster to get your tape in and out and is adjustable and I can fit a 1 inch and 1.5 inch tape both (even though I usually carry one type at a time) the one I use was bought off amazon for around 10 dollars it also has a plastic ball at the end so you don’t have to worry about sharp edges I’ve been using if for a couple months now and highly recommend it.
I've been using the Kuny electrician bag for 2 years now. I customized it a bit by tearing out all the pouch pockets so i could fit my tape. Its good, but now that i got those Tough Gaffs, i want something a bit more compact.
Our tool-set is pretty much identical. I prefer the richards window scraper. I also have a pair of red-handle plyers, an adjustable wrench, a 4-inch duster brush, a 1 inch putty knife and a .75 inch 'bent' putty knife (awesome tool).
Can't wait to see your custom bag!!!
Nice
Great tips! I have a similar set up.
I keep a 2 or 2.5in dust brush and a small multi tool kinda hammer/plier tool my daughters got me for Father’s Day, surprisingly handy good quality.
Thanks for the videos. Great content.
Chris - fireman/painter
That's a great idea!
I’ve seen that multi tool, painters hardly would ever need a full sized hammer
Hey Christ, I don’t do exteriors often but I will give that tool bag a try. Nice video!
Great video Chris
Thanks 👍
I appreciate you man, thank you.
Glad to help
notebook, rag, disposable gloves, pen, pail hook, chocolate, gutter screws
OK
U r a killer painter.And even a better human. I've been painting for 27vyrs . Hellbid work for ya..I saw the white belt by duckies priced well too. I'm getting 1
thank you so much
Hey guy hope you and your had a great Thanksgiving god bless you and yours.
I just got the Purdy folding puty knife. The nail setter is legit, thats the main feature that sets it apart.
👍
What would be the best way to clean a knockdown textured ceiling before painting? Thanks so much for your channel!!!!
My tool pouch looks a lot similar, could do with a tape clip. Pouch is DeWalt.....I carry nail punches, multi tool, scrapers, pencil, snap knife, screwdrivers, scissors(small) small selection if replacement screws, a few panel pins and a selection silicone spreading profiles
I have a small belt loop on the outside of my Dickies bag and that's where I put my tough gaff. I also have a Leatherman OHT (superb purchase, I use it almost every day) on my belt and it has a bunch of other tools in it. I'll be interested to see what your custom bag is like. I will often keep a damp or wet rag hanging off of one of my tools and I always always always have some kind of sandpaper as well.
Love the Leatherman
I never not have a dusting brush it’s a must have.
Yep
Hi Chris, I use a Leather Craft toolbelt, has a loop for a hammer, good to have a hammer when preping wood siding or before sparkling drywall. Cant wait to see what you come up with. If you want a picture of the model. Tell me where to send it. Great videos.
20 yr painter here..You pretty much got it covered on a tool belt for painters. I also include a carpenters pencil as its not permanet if i have to write/mark anything on walls or wood..a high % hand sanitizer is great to have around for hard to remove dried paint spots that you may come across on delicate surfaces.
Can you elaborate on this hand sanitizer trick?
Off topic, but you should give us a video on how painters like yourself work out at the gym. Lol. How do you find the time with job prospects and creating videos for RUclips. What's your workout regimen? 💪🏽😬
I carry pretty much the same tools, however, I use a wood workers tool bag (the old school canvas with small pouches across the front) to more evenly distribute the weight. I have a bad knee and all that weight on one side didn’t help.
When you come out with the custom tool bag will it be available in the store? I’d buy one in a heartbeat
Me too!!!
Yeah Chris any updates on your custom bag? I’ll buy 2 please take my money!
It’s hot and humid, so i carry everything in my belt.. scissors ✂️ , window scraper, multi screwdriver, etc., the basics..Maybe a chisel scraper for outside - exterior kinda changes things tho.. 5-in-1 right pocket, cell phone in left pocket..
0! & sand papers! Of diff grades
Starting watching your videos and now I’m on my 5th room in my house that I’ve painted 😃 Quick question for ya, I have a 50’s ranch that has plasterboard walls (gympsum board with plaster on top) I have some weird straight line indents in a few of the walls have you run across these in your painting experience? (Seem to be at a stud) Will I eventually have to have these skim coated ? Thoughts ?
I also would add a duster brush and a rag for mistakes
I was curious If you guys do any drywall ? If so have you used any taping machines like apla tech or Columbia tactical?
i painted interiors only for year's,, gave it up when i was 45 years old..
Hi I’m commenting about a video you posted three years ago called how to make a bed that hangs from the ceiling I was wondering if you could calculate for a queen size bed? But then again you may not even see this comment😂
Nice video dude. My bag changes from interior to exterior. Something i have on, a bit of folded up sand paper and a damp rag. The rag always gets in the way. Also a pry bar to remove nails when setting them deeper ain’t gonna fix the issue. Where can I find a caulk gun holster? Or should I just attach a hanger to it? Smaller 12 v impact/drill driver set from dewalt are more practical for residential painters then a huge 20v drill. A smaller 6v drill is even more appropriate for cabinets/light switch plates. And of course use a drill holster or the clip they come with.
I use an “electrician”tool bag
Oh and I have a tiny set of vice grips
gotta switch from sand paper to sanding sponges, especially the wider thinner ones. Game changers. I tie a rag to my bag so i always have it with me when i need to wipe my hands.
Spray paint your metal bits a bright color, lost my 1/4 hex bit today in a pile of leaves :(
@@cottagepainter6564 saw those sponges, will definitely add.
Anyone know if he made a video on the custom tool bag?
Sandpaper, dust brush and wet rag
OK
I saw in the last exterior series that you would charge an extra $500 to French an exterior(where we paint 3 sides of the trim) should I spray the trim first? This is gonna be the last exterior for the season here in nc and it’s a harder one
Sometimes good to spray all trim first and then mask off 3 sides with tape and paper, then spray the body and de mask trim and you're done save for maybe few touchups
Odd question, when you pop off the Hing pins to remove the door, do you also remove the hing hardware when you are about to paint it? Is it just easier to take down and reinstall the door via hinge pins?
OK
It is much easier and faster removing the hinge pins. It also makes it much easier and faster when re-installing the door by yourself. I’m not Chris, but I hope that answered your question.
im very new and just subbed I was looking at a few of your videos and wanted to know what sprayer tool would you recommend as far as gun, and generator?
from a Newbie =)
Titan 410 or titan 440
@@lexandersantana8089 cool thank you sir
🌟🙏🏾⛩️
Some sun glasses and a phone charger should be nearby
Is there a pouch for my Michelob Ultra?
Only for Corona
How good does your nail set work ? Compared to a nail punch and hammer . Surely sometimes it's not powerful enough to knock the nail in ? Because If that's legit that's gangster
Its amazing.
I want to know everything that's contained inside your bag and more. Owwww
OK
Hi Chris, is that a tape holder?
Tough Gaff. Sold in my store.
What is the differences between an expensive graco airless sprayer, and there cheaper models?
Life of the pump for one.
For me, its the ability to maintain constant pressure. The cheaper models will go down 200-300 PSI before the motor turns back on. This can be really annoying if your trying to get a fine finish, or your using the HEA tips which work over a much smaller pressure range.
If your a large-scale painter, like Chris was, doing 100's of gallons a week, then life of the pump is a serious concern.
All the windows are masked !!!
Your window cleaner put a craft knife blade in it and it will do a super job cheaper as well
I usually just grind the back of the five in one tool and make it razor sharp…..
Need a hook on the bag to put tape reel an other tools quick grab to free up your hands fast
The hooks we use to hang a bucket from a ladder work perfectly for this. Expect to lose a roll of tape when passing bushes as we set up exterior ladders
I like the mesh vest pocket bags (like your pouch) idea better. It’s too much weight for the one side of the body. Vest you can evenly distribute. Hmmmm....
Tactical Leg bag
You need a hamer in that bag
If your actually painting going around wet walls and all that,you dont want a hammer weighing u down...that belt had most of the basics for hand tools but certainly not EVERYTHING a painter uses,because it would be too much weight to lug around an paint all day.
I rarely need a hammer. Usually the butt end of my 5-in-1 does the trick, or my sprig-tool. Would not want a hammer weighing me down all the time. When i do need it its in my tool box.
Its a tool belt...
First!
@Mike Lowery that's up to the Idaho Painter, you'll have to ask him
Sand paper......
Dude, you have very nice of somewhat feminine hands.
Hey, thanks
No one is asking that question
