Awesome to wake up and see a video from you brother. Love the channel and seen every video. I’m a concrete finisher from the US. Do all my own formwork and I’ve definitely learned a lot from your channel
I explain it in the video briefly. We do jobs with lots of angles and rebates and use odd size materials. So the job I just did last month I used my angle gauge multiple times every day. It’s so small that I can always have it on me because it is something that you will use at very random times. The combo gauge I don’t use as often, mostly because I don’t have a great place for it in my belt, but when I do carry it I actually use it a lot.
id say it would be different state to state but terminology could potentially be a good one, also weird tricks (tie wire & tek screw to hold ply to concrete ect.@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783
Interesting to see what tools formworkers in Australia use. In the USA occidental tool bags are the most popular and sometimes concrete carpenters will put a canvas bolt bag on the back to carry extra things. Enjoy your videos and hope you can find the time to make more in the future
I did buy the artisan system 3 years ago and it was one of the best tool investments I ever made.After 2 back surgeries,carry my tools was a daily torture till I bought the D.B. tool belt.The way it fits on the waist is really suitable for the people with back issues. Instructive video.
I defense of the combination square. They are really useful for checking outside corners like if your forming for drainage in a concrete slab 2 years ago I was forming a lot of that and the speed square just wasn't quit cutting it.
You can hold a strip of ply against one side of your speed square to check out side corners or grab a roofing square. But if you do it regularly yes a dedicated tool is handy. I however would have checked an outside corner with a square maybe 20 times in the last 18 years.
Hi, what is the chalkline you use? I use toughbuild belt with gelfit suspenders. They are amazing. I bought a nailer from milwaukee based on your previous movies and i am happy as well :)
I think it was a Stanley chalk line. I’m not fussy with chalk lines. They all work fine when new and they all break eventually and clog up no matter how much you spend. So I just buy the smallest and go middle of the road for price.
@@efektmurowany I use the same stanley chalkline in the video but I used to work with a guy who had a tajima and it made the cleanest lines I've ever seen. I should get one.
Great video mate, I swap two months ago to badger, I’ve found a bit comfier than db. Keep doing more videos it’s been really helpful on daily basis the extra tip that you’re giving us
I have been a formworker for roughly 20 years and I have never owned a speed square. I don't even carry one, only keep it in the bag. I find a combination square more useful, mainly for scribing a thickness long ways along a timber. Apart from that, I prefer to use a sheet of ply. Most tools I do not carry except long handle straight claw hammer, 300mm chrome knips, tape, knife, nail bar, pencil, crown, and obviously fixings. Everything else goes in the bag. Nice video.
I can’t remember if I mention it or not in the video but yes when I did suspended slabs I would carry very little. I never carried a square for about my first 14years. It is great having all the right tools but it is more important that you know how to do a great job without them. That’s a true master. But having said that having high quality tools will improve your quality of work and your ability to charge more $$$.

That’s awesome mate. Thank you for watching. Let me know of anything I could make a video on to suit you guys in the states
Man i love your videos.
Are you going to get the new Milwaukee duplex nailer when it comes to Australia?
I’m off Milwaukee mate. Been having too many problems with their tools so I now use Makita xgt. I’ll be getting the Makita nailer.
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 really? What kind of problems? I haven't had any real drama's with mine
What would you use a combi gauge and angle finder for can uou give an example please?

Great video what’s the brand of hammer mate ?
Stiletto
You’re back ! Good stuff ! 👍
Finally got a bit of spare time!
Any more videos comming out bro??

Sorry I couldn’t help sooner mate. Anything else that would help make the transition in a video?

Glad you like your nailer!
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 ok, i use tajima and it is bulletproof but the one you showed seems small indeed 👍

@@JohnDoe-yq9rt you can change just a line separately. Jus buy „tajima plitos”

I’d love to make more vids but I don’t really enjoy the editing. If I was quicker at it I’d make more.
And I hear lots of good things about the badgers. I’ve never really looked into them
where's the nail pouch and screw pouch link? or brand?
Diamondback tool belts and buckeroo tools
Buckaroo always mate! GOAT! As the highlander said “There can be only one”!
Backaroo has lost its spot at the top. But value and longevity it is still the best
buckaroo is trash. Susspender loops tore off, rivets leaving rusty stains. It was dog shit after 3 months.

Oh and if you buy a speed square with the pencil notches it is great for scribes, we do lots of angles, lots of stairs. Speed square is king for this
Years ago when I worked as a formwork laborer I had one of those Buckeroo belts with shoulder suspenders. My lower back thanked me after a while.
My lower back was happy with suspenders but not my shoulders!
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 back then I had all the gear and no idea
my susspender loops failed within 3 months
