      100% I agree with you. In-line with what you're saying; I don't think anybody needs the most expensive tools whatsoever. There are good quality tools and tool companies that are reasonably priced. Also if you acquire tools over a period of time, then you will be able to justify higher cost here-and-there as opposed to $$$ all at once.

    Kind of a funny thing about tool snobbery. So many times, a tool that I have got5en cheap, modified or even made myself, can work better than a stock manufactured tool. I truly appreciated the fact that you showed so many curious people a possible tool that might work for their particular project(s) or shop and it probably cost them less than they thought. Maybe some people didn't even realize there is a "tool for that". Thanks for helping our knowledge and ideas progress. KK

    Being a carpenter for 40 years, you have your main tool set. But you when building custom homes, you never know what you're getting into. I figured I was on any home, maybe 3 months . Some more, some less . So when I ran into something different, buying the tool from Harbor Fright was the best way to go . Saved tons of money. Plus, I found most of their tools really held up.

    Just a little note of warning: The 1-2-3 blocks are made for specific purpose. The ones I use are primarily for non-metal work and quick check. Therefore, they don't need all of the threaded holes inside. Most of the metal working ones are machine better with more threaded holes so they can be bolted down if needed. Obviously the more simple version are cheaper. My Son would use the more expensive type for His work.

    Let me tell you .. the butane iron at @41:00 or so - accidentally leaning on the hot end is a mistake you'll only make once. Speaking from experience 😅 I set mine down on the fender (unpainted project car), leant over the engine bay and stuck my forearm right on top of it.. took a second for my brain to register what the sensation was but that was long enough to leave a lovely burn!

    I own one of those Goldblatt trim pullers and can agree, they're brilliant. So much in fact, that I'm probably gonna buy the slightly smaller size soon too, just to take up a little less room in my tool bag. I wouldn't say they're cheap though. In the UK at least, they're around £25-£40 depending on which size. Not super expensive, but compared to basic trim pullers it's a a decent chunk of change.

    I mean, the Lime Green brand comes from the same company as the Red brand. I personally think the only thing that makes one tool better than another is its use in the field. if your just DIYing in the garage, buy the cheaper stuff and take your time. If you're on a jobsite and eating through 3 or 4 5ah batteries a day then buy something a little more substantial. Rome was built without electricity. the case color on your impact doesn't matter.

    Woah... I think I just dropped about $4-500 on getting some of these "cheap" tools. I've been DYING to get a Dalluge DA bar for trim work after someone showed me theirs removing trim on the front of my house a month ago. But I CANNOT find anybody selling them, and BEWARE! I found one... price too good to be true. And it was. And they stole my credit card number. So I got two of the trim pullers (I see me losing one in the shop, and needing another one). My old setup table doesn't have the structural strength to be a miter saw stand, and it's sagging, so I pulled the trigger on the one from HD, which was cheaper but also worked with my military discount. Aaaaand I picked up a number of other things. I've got to stay away from these kinds of videos! (I need those slip-on type of outer/under shoes... but.... ugh). Try not to make too many of those videos, mmmkay? (That's me saying THANKS for showing some great tools!) That panel lifter (2-pack, btw!) is going to save my back!

Don't buy cheap shit from China, get good expensive ones, and make sure to try putting them few times before! If, God forbid, you cut an artery - you will have a bit less then a minute to stop the blood, and since most of us are alone doing our favorite stuff - you will have to help yourself!
