What is your favorite tool under $30 that you own?
I love my digital calipers! I used them all the time! Just an easy way to measure thickness or inside diameter of holes
We use our speed squares a lot. They are really handy for many things. We mostly use them for checking how square the edge of a board is, but before we got a table saw, we used it to guide a circular saw to make a nice crosscut.
Horse wrap tape is the best to wrap the handles of clamps to make it grip more easily. Especially bessey f style clamps. It gives it more gripping pressure so you can really torque down on what you're clamping. I also found that wrapping my mallets and carving axes also makes it more comfortable to hold while woodworking.
Japanese hand saw
I am going to start a woodworking bussiness, but i don't really know what machinery i should buy first. I got a pretty small budget, so could you suggest me some tools. I watch a lot of people including you for tips and tricks but their are lots of differences. Pls help me😪🔥🔥
I really appreciate the heads-up on the track mounts. I have already ordered some and putting them on the garage door is an excellent use of otherwise unusable space. Thanks. Thanks.
Matt, I love these videos! I have purchased lots of these items after you have presented them. I would like to note I started my clamp collection with these Jorgenson clamps, however, I had a little different experience than you. Yes, they are very economical (not cheap) but the link you provided were to the ones I purchased a few years back and are the MD or Medium Duty clamps rated at 600 lbs. of clamping pressure. These do bow when really torqued down but do not remain bent to the extent of the other ones you showed. The ones you were using/showing were the HD or Heavy Duty line. Yes, they are much more "Robust" clamp and I don't have any of those so no experience with them as far as bowing goes, because they are more expensive and rated at 1000 lbs., more than I would ever need. The LD or Light Duty are rated at 300 lbs. and really bow and bend. Probably more than I needed to say but just thought you would like to know...so there you go. ;-)
100% agree with those F clamps! Can't beat the price for the quality and durability.
I just purchased 2 sets of fastcap Track Rack at Woodcraft in Springfield Oregon , currently waiting on my new TS 55 Track Saw w/55" track , a 2nd track will be put on my wish list
I have the clamps that bend, and my favorite color is Orange. Who wouldn't love those clamps? They are all great tools, Thank you.
Those band clamps are such a great idea!
My favorite tool under 30$ is a ryoba Japanese style saw.
The track holders could be printed on a 3D printer as well, just like many woodworking tools 😉
I’m a huge proponent of having multiple double squares in high use locations in the shop. Great video!
Thank you
My shop full of jergonson F style clamps. I picked up several at lowes on sale last year after using them I went back and got more. ( I also love my bessly parallel clamps but the are heavy for some jobs )
Love these vids. I build boats at viking yacht company in jersey and this scribe is one of my favorite tools we use to make all seems perfect inside the cabin on the darkwalnut and teak panels/furniture
First, I love your shirts. Also, your videos have cost me a lot of money, but I don’t mind. I have used several of the tools you have reviewed and they work great. Thanks for your videos.
Add a rubber band to your other spring clamps and will be same as your band clamps
This one time, at band clamp...
Harbor Freight has a quick Grip style Clamp By Bremen The Pads are really huge with V shaped groove inside the pad for clamping sharp edge corners. The end comes off and can be reversed to make a spreader. Really powerful quick grip at a good price. The grip power alone out grips my Irwin’s by a long shot.IMO
I picked up some Jorgenson clamps a couple weeks ago and I really like them too! They just feel "right." Harbor Freight should be named Harbor FRIGHT. I've purchased a lot of stuff there, but it's always been inconsequential stuff where quality doesn't matter (as much). I won't buy stuff there if I need high quality. Thanks for the tips! I'm a rank amateur and need all the good tips I can find!
I love the t-shirt too! Great passage right there!!
Good call on the Incra & Jorgenson-will never buy another blue & yellow clamp again!
After the first set of orange clamps I bought I sold the blues to buy more orange ones.
Super nice objective teview Matt. Really love the band clamps and double squares. I REALLY need some of those garage door track saw clamps.
Thanks Mike
Something I've come to like A lot is the project select roller and brush cleaner.
I used a hole saw to drill a hole in the center of the lid of a 2 gallon pale.
Then I fill it up a quarter of the way with Paint thinner.
Insert the brush and spin away.
It's made cleaning my brushes much much easier.
That one time in band clamp...
😂
I've had the issue of my Jorgensen clamps popping off during glue ups because the rubber and paint combo of the clamp isn't good. The plasti dip is a great idea for them im gonna pick me up a can this week. Other than the rubber feet I agree they are substantially better than my bessey f clamps .
When you lose the pads on your f clamps or c clamps get a big package of stick on felt pads for furniture. They usually come in a variety of sizes and if properly installed will last a long time.
Another great video. One thing I would recommend is checking out the Bessey Tradesmen Professional f style clamps. I have the Jorgensens and they're nice compared to others, but I always reach for the Besseys first.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for Monday to watch the video.
I never noticed the bend in the HF clamps until you mentioned it. I used one recently and as soon as I put some pressure on it, it started bowing. Dang. Time to rethink my clamps.
For some reason I was unsubscribed from you today. I didn't do it. Love your videos.
Thank you
Ok suggestion…. You need to make this segment “731’s 7 tools under 31.” 😉
WHOA! LOVE IT! Great idea!
I'd like "731's 73 tools under 1". 😄
lol
I second this that's great
I have the Jorgensen clamps. Those are my favorite small clamps that I own.
Really cool tools!! Thanks Matt
Thank you Lloyd!
I've never heard of leopard wood, but that board looks like lace wood. Are they the same thing?
Thanks for showing them clamps I just ordered some
Great tools!
Well done!
Favorite tool is tough. My 90° right angle clamps are pretty awesome. My brand is “WETOLS”, but there are a ton of other brands under $30
Thanks for sharing these!
I have 20 of the Jorgensen clamps. They are fantastic. F style clamp rack at Rockler also under $30.
My F-clamps are Jorgensen and although I'm a fan of wood and therefore wooden handles, these newer rubber handles are much better.
You and Matt, have a point. I see myself reaching for the Jorgensen F style clamps more than my Bessy and HF F style clamps.
Need buy more of them, retire those other two brands.
Thanks! I appreciate the knowledge. Just found your channel, subscribed!
Thanks and welcome
I like the last one. That's a Clamp I could use!
They are nice!
Spring tool for setting finish nails
No sir. I can’t watch this. Every time I watch one of these I end up with a new Amazon package and have to tell my husband “but it’ll help with another project”. 😂😂
I’m totally joking. Love these videos because I appreciate your honesty with the good and the bad.
Dude I love these videos, thank you!
Glad you like them!
👊 Awesome tools & tips!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your videos
I have the PEC double square, how does the Benchmark compare? They look very similar and I contemplated grabbing one from Taytools.
Jorgensen squeeze clamps are my favorite. I have some older Irwin squeeze clamps but the Jorgensens are my go to due to the wider pad and grip strength.
Got lucky and picked up the 6" Incra ruler and a 4" with the edge guide at a garage sale. Awesome layout tools👍
I'm with you, I hate it when my clamps beyend, beyending is bad and then it's beyent
I think one of the main considerations with clamps is ergonomics, or how it feels to use. In different situations, I want different ergonomics. Heavy clamps can be too hard to work with, or I need a one handed trigger clamp or a deep throat or I need to fit in a tight space.
I have many clamps from both Bessey and Jorgensen. For the Clutch style F-Clamps, Jorgensen has 3 sizes, light, medium, and heavy. Of those, only the heavy clamps and maybe the smallest light duty clamps get used. Bessey has two sizes and I'm interested in both. Generally I think for the same size clamps, the Bessey is far more solid, but there are certain jobs that suit the big size of the HD Jorgensen better. At smaller sizes the bars of the Jorgensen flex too much.
In fact, the HD Jorgensen Clamps and the smallest Jorgensen trigger clamps are generally the only ones I'll continue to add to my collection. For everything else, I'll probably use some Bessey clamp. I like the Bessey Trigger clamps better in every size but the smallest, and I especially like the Uniklamp instead of a clutch style F-Clamp. I definitely prefer the Bessey Pipe clamps over Jorgensen. I also find that the pads come off a little easier on most of the Jorgensen clamps.
The Jorgensen clamps aren't bad, but the Besseys are almost always a little better.
Makita track guides will fit the Fastcap track rack.
Great to know. Thank you
Most dowel jugs are under $30. I have several for different applications
Full disclosure my first thought this AM was "Here we go the 731 Product review channel again!" But gosh darn it, your lists and videos always rock! This one with your track hack is genius use of space. Forgive my early morning grumbling and keep up your good work :)
We do a lot of 1/8 thick solid edging where I work. Sometimes we tape it on. I’m curious as to how those band clamps compare.
The band clamps are significantly better. I have 20 and use them a lot
I love the Jorgensen clamps but the bars do come in 2 different thicknesses
+1 Subscriber, right here.
Didn’t know Mike put the rockler bandy clamps on notice!
You mentioned the Track Racks work with the WEN rails… According to the Amazon page, they are not listed.
One user even said they’re way too tight for the WEN rails.
Can you confirm that these will work?
Thanks in advance
On my calls I put a board on like a l shape for clamping better than skinny edge
Hey, how'd you get the Red Patch LP? I'm retired from TxDPS Communications.
Just bought the Fast Track clamp. I noticed that the clamp hangs the guide rails right side up, as opposed to upside down, like other clamps. I hung my 75" festool guide rail and noticed that when in the right side up configuration (with the splinter strip down), the splinter strip pushes on the guide rail groove causing an indentation in the strip. Does anyone know that uses this rail holder if that indentation is problematic when cutting? I'm guessing not, but I would like to be sure.
Fasstcap track rack does fit Makita, also Power Tech.
Why am I watching a lawn care ad when I am watching a wood working video
fish gotta swim, bird gotta eat.
Nooice! 😎
Yeah so I have to be honest it is a little weird to hang your tracks on the garage door. I suppose if you have one of the long Festool tracks maybe but I'd just be afraid of something coming loose with all of that movement.
The difference between 1/8" divisions and 1/64" divisions is Precision, not accuracy. Accuracy is closeness to the "true" value, which for a steel rule is more or less constant. (They do vary with temperature, but in a typical climate-controlled workshop the variation is insignificant.)
Cool 😎
Just a thought! The track clamps does the grove affect the splinter guard at all ?
It doesn't mine, I still use them all the time. Tracks stay in there. But you can flip them the other way too
There's a ton of commercials in this video, But that's okay cuz I think it's making you money 👍😁
Recommendation for a digital calipers
I use a Mitutoyo digital caliper seen here amzn.to/3wgFIIOm (Amazon affiliate link) It's a little pricey but it has been great for me. I've had it for over a year now with no issues.
Have you tried the f-style clamps from TayTools? I'd be interested to hear your opinion/comparison between those and the Jorgensons!
I haven’t but I can get some from Mike and try them out
I was wondering about there parallel clamps
WETZLER clamps are the best ever made, buts sadly they're not made anymore
5 tools under $30 = $150 I'm about to spend, ha ha ha. Another great video Country Breakfast!!
lol thank you!
I’d rather just pin trim than blow more money on those clamps.
I made a river table and it’s warping. What r the best c-channels to get and where can I find them?
I'm not sure. Check out Ol Loggin Sawmill channel. They do those river tables often.
How does the track saw bracket protect the splinter guard? It looks like it would be resting on it.
It is resting on it but it doesn't hurt the guard at all
It will absolutely hurt the splinter guard. He needs to turn them around. When the adhesive on the strip gets warm it'll start to slide and that section of splinter guard will move. That happened when my dark green truck was parked in the sun and my 55" track got messed up.
Those Jorgensen clamps are actually 2 for under 30!
Nice!
Our local lowes has the 12” and 6” 4 pack for 29.98! They are definitely worth it. I was a Bessy fan until I picked up these gems.
If you keep posting these you are going to have to build me some new shelves....
lol
Band clamps can be cheaply made with regular $2 spring clamps and bicycle tire tubes. Just cut the tube in 4" chunks and slide them on the clamps. Save the $20 per clamp for Festools or Tacos.
I hardly ever use these unless I’m running out of clamps
Makita and Festool tracks are identical.
Thanks!
I understand why 731 went towards tool reviews. but I miss the build videos
Never enough clamps
The ridge track does not fit in the Track Rack.
Has anybody done a “one time in band clamp” joke yet?
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Good sponsor for today lol
lol
Got all except for the tracksaw
1 Timothy 6:12 KJV...,hmmmmmmm...great suggestion on ya shirt. love ya in our LORD !!!
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
I like all your picks but one, the budget square. I have tried several, including the iGauge brand and none of them are worth the apparent savings. The cost of inaccurate measuring tools is immense. Spend more on them, and save a lot on wasted time, material, and frustration. I have several of these budget squares, I keep trying to find a use for them, you know, for welding or outside when working on a fence or something where I don't want muck up a Sarrett or Woopeckers' square. But when I need a square, why would I use one I know isn't square?
All the Best, Chuck
GREAT!!! 5 tools under 30 dollars,,,,, as I tell my wife,,,,,, Get ready to spend under 150,,,,,, LOL
lol
The math checks out! Tell your wife she can't argue with science
16th of an inch? wtf...
Ever heard of the metric system? Where everything is *10 or /10...?
'Merica!
Plastic clamps - you might as well flush your money down the crapper. The WILL break in the not-so-distant future. Way too much worthless plastic infiltrating the workshop.
🙄 They'll last a long time. It's not like these clamps take a lot of abuse. They hold on edge banding.
@@731Woodworks You don't even have to use them, plastic degrades with age and exposure. Rubber teeth are more practical than plastic clamps in wood working.
@@ninthplanet3040 Everyone has different use cases and expectations. I'm good with these.
To many ads
The Fastcap Tracks are horrible. Do not recommend
These are stupid recommendation
That should be plural. "recommendations" with an s if you are saying they are all stupid. Or were you just referring to one of them?
Seriously, two unskippable ads before the video, a sponsor spiel AND a mid-stream ad for this frankly weak content? And you want 500k subscribers? Step back from the cash register dude, your going to get a repetitive motion injury. The only thing you're getting from me is a "Do not recommend channel".
I appreciate your feedback. The weak content you speak of has grown the channel to nearly 300k. The ads, are part of the platform to help me make a living (and the platform to make money too). Every channel has ads on them, it's just part of it.
