Chris, you are good! Thanks for NOT having music! Whew! I'm a retired home repair guy and appreciate your advice and will pass your site to some younger repair folks. Your presentation is clever and has an excellent flow to it and your script is mature and fast paced. Best of luck! Also, hope you have worked as an instructor as you are so good at it.
I rarely comment. I just have to leave a "Thank You" You helped me find a Christmas Gift for my father and you remind me of my humble Grandfather. Hope you have a Good Day, Sir. Keep up your great work 🤗
Thank you for the video. I have number 10 & 9 and those tweezers are with me everyday. And I am going to look into those flashlights. They are just what I need to replace my bigger flashlight.
My buddy has one similar, I hate it. with the stanley one I have you can turn the stud finder and essentially you can triangulate where the sensor in the stud finder is and find the exact edge of the stud every time. I never miss studs.
@@dalebabbitt6185 if you tilt it, imagine a crooked picture frame. The stud finder will beep differently, essentially you mess with the stud finder enough and you can pinpoint exactly where the stud starts and ends. I may upload a video to explain.
That was, without a doubt, the best small tool & gadget video I've ever seen. And, clearly, you use all of theses, know them well, and trust them. All of them were incredibly practical as well. I recently paid a ton for the most fancy-pants stud finder I could find, thinking that maybe this one would work well...but all it does is bleep, flash, and cross signals...and the display shows a dazzling array of useless information. The one you reviewed is amazing. I intend to hunt one down for myself. I''m also saving this video for my husband to watch later..we love a good gadget video! :D
Hello! I have a slightly higher end Dewalt laser with three lines and have been using it for a few years regularly. On a building site where studs are exposed. So I just keep screwing the mount in. I always get annoyed it can’t be adjusted up or down quite enough. And soon the walls will be boarded up with plasterboard so that won’t be an option. I’m always annoyed I can’t just quickly put it anywhere. Your ideas with the square and the clamp were genius. Bravo! This will change my life in a small but meaningful way! Thank you. It was ingenious and I loved it!
That 3rd hand will really help me as I do all my renovations by myself. Thanks again for making our lives easier with your vast knowledge (videos). Be well.
Some really great practical tools! Most lists are kinda for a niche, are completely random, or are the sane items (carpenters pencil, speed square, etc).. Loved your list and how you showed how well they worked. Love the ball on that scraper, it just makes total sense and probably really helps with leverage and comfort.
Thanks, now I know what to get for my handyman brother. He does so much for me around my house -- so unusual and useful tools are a perfect way for me to say thanks to him!
Outstanding selection! I have worked in both commercial Construction and Demolition, I own 3 of the 10 items listed, will be shopping for the rest. The tweezers are priceless! With that nice multi- bit Canadian made screw driver, it will also accept big box store =(cheaper) replacement tips, you might want to put your good bits and spares in an Altoids tin with a rare earth magnet and hide it in you pocket as no one but a jerk will steal your nice driver if there are no tips with it... just my experience
@@chrisnotap My wife and I often go for Sunday drives and prefer eating in our compact vehicle. Truly the best gadget we've purchased in years. Thanks for all of the research you do for us. 👍
@@pmdun45698 We do the same. Sunday drives. We also do a McDonalds drive through breakfast every Friday and sit in our car at the pier and watch the boats come and go, people walking their dogs, cyclists and enjoy the sunshine in our Rav4.
Chris, most of the videos on RUclips are something to waste your time on. Your videos are not like that at all. Informative, worthwhile, instructional, with just a touch of that wonderful Canadian humour. Really, really glad that I subscribed.
I wish I had seen this when it was uploaded 2 years ago. LOL. These are practical gifts that I would like, and my adult children would also like. Thanks for the video. I'll need to check out your channel so I won't miss anything. 😎👍🏻💯
I made another top 12 gift ideas video in Nov also. I think youll find more stuff for your kids to buy lol!! Here it is....ruclips.net/video/IGuCrVn8DjI/видео.html
I have all of these items except for the screw driver and the light. These are all a must have for any one that does handy work of any kind. Also a note about Franklin Sensors. They are one of the best customer service companies. I dropped my sensor down a elevator shaft. I sent it in to see what could be done they sent me a new unit with a check for my shipping.... Super Cool
The push through bit design is genius, no lost bits. They're going to sell a crap load of those stud sensors, what an improvement. I can see where it might even be handy to own two of those jackable 'holders' for doing cabinetry, etc. In the right positions on the cabinets it would take almost no effort to install a cabinet straight and level...positioned properly it would probably hold it hands off, leaned a bit to the wall and slightly toward the center of the cabinet, each side, and further from the wall than the CG, on anything short of a slick wall. Thx Chris, great stuff, as always.
GEEZZZZ....SUBSCRIBED!!!! After running across your In Home Fire Hose Installation Video...I began checking out your other videos. AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Please don't stop...You've come up with some amazing videos!!! Happy New Year!...and may you profit from your efforts.
Wow.. those are pretty cool gadgets and I appreciate seeing exactly how to use them. Thank you for sharing.. and yes the shirt you settled for was perfect!
Well this is the best 10-tools list I'w seen in a looong time. Really notice that you use these. Glad I found this channel, coming onboard for the ride.
Just discovered this channel. Smart, well made videos on various subjects with a common theme - doing more with less (some exceptions). I recommend and have subscribed.
That stud finder is amazing: so much better than the one I have, which is one of the ones that you have too! I also loved the De Walt laser level. And the rest.
As an electrician would recommend the voltage sensor that had a double forked ends so they can be used on Tamper Resistant receptacles that are in all newer homes. Great tools.
Normally I look at such presentations and find 1-2 gizmos I could one day need. But on the whole, have either never needed in the past and or are never likely to need in the future. However, your selection of gizmos with brief description and how-tos, have highlighted two things. I could use all of those, as I’ve needed them in the past and made do with what was to hand, sometimes with frustrating results. Plus, I’ve evidently not got nearly enough handy gizmos, that could actually be both easy to us and useful in their own right. Thank you. Now off to the links and make my list.
Love your content sir... And loved this list... I made your Home Depot buckets vacuum, simply the best.... Big hug from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico...
Thanks for that nice feedback! Greeting and Happy New Years from Canada! I also made another top 12 tool gift video for 22/23. Here it is ..... ruclips.net/video/IGuCrVn8DjI/видео.html
Thank you for this! I need a gift for my Dad that isn't very intrested in modern technologies, I think he'll love the 3rd hand. Merry Christmas! and thank you.
Stimulus check was just deposited...now I have a reliable bunch of things to add to the toolbox. Love your videos. No hemming and hawing around. Just say things like they are.
I have had an Olight Baton for a few years - I'm in my nineties and very active but I have eye problems from old age and have to use the light all day for just about everything. It's great to slide the clip onto the visor of a cap and use it as a head light. I would highly recommend getting one. It is small and charges up from the computer - about once a month.
I just subscribed tonight ( about 15 videos ago, lol cus I cannot stop watching them !! ) but during the 1st vid I found of yours on my homepage, I was going to leave you a comment asking, if you could do a vid on gifts for men and sure enough, you already did it !! .. Thxx so very much Chris !! .. Your vids really are wonderful 🌟😇‼
Best damn description on products, video out there that's for sure. Thank you for sharing. I've saved this video n will be sharing it with friends. Thanks again.
I found some items worth buying, your ‘cut-scenes’ nice amd cozy and you being a nice person to listen to. Thank you sir and have a good day! (This is the type of content I wanted to make but decided not to; seems that I was wrong and this could be made interesting)
Franklin also makes a version of that stud finder that is half the size of the one shown. I prefer it to the larger one because it fits well in the bottom of a tool bag.

Full transparency. A small portion of each sale goes from Amazon's pocket to Chris's pocket with no additional cost to you! It helps support my channel and is much appreciated! Thanks!
I use 5 of these items every day at work. I need the flashlight and tweezers. Great tips too.
I really appreciate that you demonstrated practical applications with these tools! You don’t usually see that on RUclips. Thank you.
Thanks for that feedback!
As someone who works in construction, I appreciate this list, some of these are definitely going in my toolbox
Great to hear!
Ok 👌🏼 I will have a few things for that to bed I need
@@chrisnotap and is it just the one
@@chrisnotap do you still make smoking videos ?
Am in the UK but this stuff is on Amazon so watching this has cost mw another good few pounds gotta stop looking at youtube

Just used a set of third hand jacks, to install some upper kitchen cabinets. I couldn’t believe how much easier the job was with those babies!
I rarely comment.
I just have to leave a "Thank You"
You helped me find a Christmas Gift for my father and you remind me of my humble Grandfather.
Hope you have a Good Day, Sir.
Keep up your great work 🤗
That is awesome! Thanks!
Great Video Thank You! Super stuff !! - with excellent links for instant shopping too!
This channel is so wholesome i love it
Thank you for the video. I have number 10 & 9 and those tweezers are with me everyday. And I am going to look into those flashlights. They are just what I need to replace my bigger flashlight.
The sound you hear is me chucking my terrible stud finder out the window so I can get that nifty Franklin one! What a game changer
My buddy has one similar, I hate it. with the stanley one I have you can turn the stud finder and essentially you can triangulate where the sensor in the stud finder is and find the exact edge of the stud every time. I never miss studs.
@@RobertBeckk what you're saying about the stanley sounds interesting but I'm not sure about what it is you mean. Can you elaborate? Thanks
@@dalebabbitt6185 if you tilt it, imagine a crooked picture frame. The stud finder will beep differently, essentially you mess with the stud finder enough and you can pinpoint exactly where the stud starts and ends. I may upload a video to explain.

Several items worthy of a closer look. Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Hello! I have a slightly higher end Dewalt laser with three lines and have been using it for a few years regularly. On a building site where studs are exposed. So I just keep screwing the mount in. I always get annoyed it can’t be adjusted up or down quite enough. And soon the walls will be boarded up with plasterboard so that won’t be an option.

Very interesting, informative and entertaining, all-in-one, and you used correct spellings too! (Ex-pat from the UK, living in the USA)
Thanks for that!
That 3rd hand will really help me as I do all my renovations by myself. Thanks again for making our lives easier with your vast knowledge (videos). Be well.
You are so welcome!
Wow! Really useful tools. That steering wheel tray I can use as someone who drives for a living and eats in my truck daily, it's just brilliant.
Chris, Jo said it for me also, every one of them I can use at my place. Thank you for your time in research.
You're welcome!
+1 on the Dewalt laser. I bought mine last summer for a tile project. Works great!
Some really great practical tools! Most lists are kinda for a niche, are completely random, or are the sane items (carpenters pencil, speed square, etc).. Loved your list and how you showed how well they worked. Love the ball on that scraper, it just makes total sense and probably really helps with leverage and comfort.
These are some really excellent products, great quality at reasonable prices ! Thank you !
Glad you like them!
Great to see you back again! Thanks for posting. Loved the stud finder.
Been using the Franklin for a decade or more. Concur that there's nothing better. Strongly recommended.
Thanks, now I know what to get for my handyman brother. He does so much for me around my house -- so unusual and useful tools are a perfect way for me to say thanks to him!
10 out of 10......5 Star......100%.....take your pick for a marvelous review. Thank you for your good work, look forward to some more.
Wow! Thanks for that! That's great feedback!
Wow, this was TOO useful!
Will definitely be buying some of these items.
Thank you, Chris!
