I have links for the tools I use in the video description guys. Here is the M12 combo I highly recommend: amzn.to/3sJ385f Thanks for watching!

FINALLY! Someone who explains WITHOUT talking too much. I aspire to learn woodworking(i know nothing about it) and this is a good start. Thanks. 💯 👍🏽

Finally a tool show that isn’t a Snap On advertisement!

You look like a modern day WOLVERINE! Glad I found your channel.

Great video. I love hearing everyone’s perspective on what should be your first tools. That guy must be a REALLY good friend to tear your saw up and he’s still your friend.

I found this channel a few days a go and I have faith in you tube again, i have not stopped watching untill i finished all the videos. Best wishes from Húsavík Iceland

I’ve been using my impact driver to drill holes for years. It works great.

Yes, that m12 set is awesome! I use the impact often at work. 👍

I am about to be a first-time homeowner and thought about all kinds of projects for the back and front yard, even a backyard kitchen, play, and gazebo area combined more or less, still working out how to do that without making a whole other building. The idea is just making a fun and comfortable place for the summer and fall months.

This channel is exactly what I needed now that I'm starting to build a few small things. Coming from zero experience, I appreciate this channel a lot.

Awesome! Haven’t bought any power tools yet but planning on doing so when I move out. Now I know where to start!

I have recently found your channel and I am in love with it. Keep up the great work.

I told my husband I want a new drill and a new sander, this video will help pick the right ones. Thank you.

Love your humor and always enjoy your vids. This one is straight up great info for young/new workers.

FYI: 18 and 20 volts are exactly the same. 20V is just marketing speak, appealing to those folks that think higher always equals better. Same goes for 10.8 and 12 volts, and (kinda) for 36 and 40 volts. I know that Makita brands their 36V batteries and accompanying tools as 40V, because they already call their 2x18V machines the 36V lineup, I'm not sure if other brands have a similar thing going on. In any case: when you see two tools, one saying 10.8/18/36V, and the other saying 12/20/40V respectively, as long as they both only use 1 battery, the voltage is exactly the same. I can affirm the quality of the 12V Milwaukee tools. I'm a Makita guy myself, but if I couldn't get Makita, I'd 100% go for Milwaukee. Not only do they have quality tools, they also have some nice gadgety tools. Ryobi has a lot of these gadgets too, but Milwaukee is a lot better IMO. About the impacts: They don't necessarily get more power (normal drills actually have more torque usually), they just put a lot less stress on your hand. Where you need a big second handle on a big drill, you can use a big impact driver with one hand. It's comparable to trying to push in a nail with a hammer, or impacting on it (also known as hammering it in). The impact vs the constant force can make a big difference. Impact drivers are worthless on (very) large screws though, no matter how strong your impact driver is, it will not be able to drive a 600mm screw (24" if my conversion is correct), because all the power from the impact is absorbed by the screw flexing along its rotational axis. IMO, you missed the most important part of hand-held circular saws: On which side the blade is. For those who expect to hold the saw with their right hand, it's usually a lot more comfortable to have a saw with the blade on the left. Sadly, most circular saws have the blade on the right for some reason. Other than that: great summary. I don't think you missed anything, and I would indeed call this set the basic set of tools, maybe leaving out the table saw. As always, before buying anything: Check out the options, and do some research. KZfaq is a very good resource, since you can easily see how people test the tools, and then determine if you think that's a fair and repeatable method of testing, but don't rely on people's opinions. Some will say you need to have a 36V drill, because you won't be able to do anything with less, but the reality is that most people will get along with 12V just fine for home use. And like said in the video: Make sure you choose a brand you're going to stick with. So if you're looking at drills, also look at what that brand offers for the next couple of tools you may want to get in the future. There's no use getting into battery eco-system A if only half the tools you want are available in that battery eco-system, unless you know from the start that you don't mind multiple battery eco-systems.

I still have and use a Craftsman circular saw I bought in 1992. Still works great. A couple years ago I bought a DeWalt 20v set which included a cordless circular saw. It’s convenient to work away from the house but I still love my old saw.

You inspire me! Thanks for the power tool rundown.

Good list of tools! I have just about everything listed but the big ones: milter saw, table saw, and tracksaw. I eventually want a 360 plain laser too but that's going to be a long while before I get one.

Great Video, Thank You. I have grown to love my Black & Decker Matrix 20 Volt Max set up. So fare I have 12 tools in 1. Not heavy duty enough for contractors, but GREAT home DYI.

Great video! That crosscut on the table saw using the fence will give me nightmares though. Glad I found your channel!

I've had my Bosch PST 700 E jigsaw for about 12 years now, and I honestly *love* it. I even use it for things that don't necessary require a jigsaw. It's easy to use, easy to replace the blades, easy to clean and stow, powerful enough for thick oak countertops, and I've never had that issue with dust getting into my face (which is probably a bad thing, because I keep forgetting to put on my safety glasses when I work with it). 😂

Many thanks for this video--Very relevant and funny, too. You have discussed exactly where a complete beginner needs to start. The tools and equipment!

Always adding to our tool collection

Definitely one of your best videos! Well done and well presented. Very valuable information. Especially for this recently retired dentist with way too much time on his hands. I am good with a drill though!!! This video is a keeper for future reference. Thank you!!

And finish..... Very informative, thanks! The ending as clean cut as the saws you talk about 🤣

Amazing video! Thanks man! Very informative and easily understood by DIY newbies (like me). 😁👍🏼

Great video! Thanks so very much for sharing those tool choices with us!

Love that your channel has really taken off! Enjoy the videos as well, sir

I have 20V systems... both DeWalt (my every day, day in, day out, heavy duty use) and Ryobi (specialty use, rarely needed - less costly) , but I also love my little Bosch 12V 3/8" cordless drill. It can get into places that the bigger 20Vs can't, even with a small battery attached, and it is so light to carry/use.

YESSS!! FILTHY, FILTHY PHILLIPS!! Oh Robertson, the only bit I allow on my job site. Thank you.

Great stuff Adam. Must say, you're camera work and editing gives me something to aspire to!

I watched the video with joy. He's so funny! Informative

makita has a really nice barrel grip i had gotten, i got the corded version since I carry m18 batteries, but the jig has a knob style top which makes it easier to control the saw

Great video, thank you! 👍

I have a cordless Ryobi circular saw and I love it.

Totally agree, The must-have set :D

Great video. Would recommend the angle grinder as a must have and possibly the saber saw.

Great video. Explained very well.

Superb vlog brother Stay blessed always

Great video! Thanks for the clear and concise explanation of tools.

Well done presentation. Thank you.

A couple of thoughts… My daughter owns several income properties and I usually do most of the reno work. We discovered impact drivers a couple of years ago and it makes a huge difference. I was relieved to hear that I’m not alone in hating jigsaws. I lost almost all of my power tools in a house fire last year. Fortunately, my daughter has most of same tools. Last summer she bought a new set of 7 Ryobi cordless tools and she gave me her old set. I’m slowly replacing what was lost and this video is very helpful to determine what to buy first.

This was awesome! Thank you for the great info.

Thanks man. This is informative.

While it doesn't fall under tool pursé, a dedicated work bench/table is pretty choice. I've recently upgraded the one I made over a decade ago(which still gets used) for a table I got out of a public school when the world shut down. At least near me, the public schools got rid of all their butcher block tables and replaced them with stainless, and I work for a company that services commercial kitchen equipment. 'Inheriting" a 72"x30"x3" hardwood table with a beefy stainless base that's probably older than my 48 years has been incredible. Several holes drilled through the top and holdfasts have upped my game and speed.

Thanks for the edgamicashun 🤔 Adam lots of good information have a good weekend ☀️😁👍

great job

Great video! Thanks! Subscribed

Milwaukee earned my money years ago too! Great video!

Nicely done, content, points covered, concise delivery (well scripted), list of tools, strengths/pitfalls pretty good. SO true about the Jigsaw! Some jigsaws are better than others for sure.. better power, smoother cut, less vibration, etc. 30 years ago, borrowed a porter cable, and was astounded how well it did at a job my cheapo couldn't do well at all. Very good points about having to work in limited space. About the only things I would add.. as you get more serious about production or large jobs, pneumatic nailers, staplers, and dust collection become LARGE issues in a hurry! I can't afford the rail saw system, but have always had a 8' straightedge. Yes, buy as much saw and rip fence as your budget and space will allow - I could not get away with that short a rip fence.. my 53" is often too short! Still, great job putting this one together.. I will forward it to all beginners I know.. Thanks!!

I love my Bosch jigsaw. Bought it factory reconditioned from CPO Outlets. Got a great price on the corded saw, bag, and insert. Going from the Ryobi I bought (I immediately went looking for a different saw, I think that says all I need to say), the Bosch was like going from a VW Beetle to a Lexus. I’m no expert, but I’m happy.

And a bandsaw and a scroll saw. And a lathe is useful too. great video, thank you for showing this.

Your work is beautiful and useful, I hope I am healthy and safe

I have a festool track saw and I have the 36v Makita track saw and tend to grab the Makita saw.

Nice explanation.

I love how much you hate the jigsaw!

These types of videos are so helpful to people like me who really want to know. I'm a 70 year old woman who really wishes I could have been a carpenter. I'm having a heck of a time right now trying to use my router to make the proper holes for the Soss hinges I bought for my hidden bookcase. I'm about to give up because although the Soss hinge is wonderful for a hidden bookcase, they are not the easiest for me to figure out. So, keep up the great work. I only wish you would make even MORE videos so I wouldn't have to wait so long to see the next one! :-)

Been following you since beginning of pandemic - always funny, useful and interesting videos from you! One of the things I like is your tolerance of the happy accident or interesting mistake, just like WE ALL make. The journey is what its about, right? Just jump in and hang on! Thanks much.

Thank You, Hax Man!

That's funny, cuz I love jigsaws 😂 I definitely understand hating a low quality one though. I was fortunate to get to use an old solid steel corded jigsaw my grandpa gave me before it was stolen. Very well made.

Dude you are greatness!!

Great video, love the channel! I bought the m12 drill combo based on your recommendation and it's awesome!

Wow, I had the same circular saw

Impact driver is totally essential, especially when they come in combos with drills. Can even buy a chuck for impacts.

Awesome, dude has a 100k tool workshop! Thanks for the ideas on what tools to get for home use

Love your videos. Keep it up brother!

Great channel, glad I found it. God bless

I use Milwaukee and DeWalt cordless tool and after you buy one kit or so and have batteries and a charger you can then buy bare tools and not have a pile of chargers… I must say I do like my Ridgid 10” table saw …. Thanks for your video I’m sure many will find it useful ✌🏼😎🇺🇸

👍👍👏👏💪💪 Thank you! Great video!

Thanks for the video

Good video enjoyed it thx for the info and sharing Be safe God Bless

hey thanks brother u explain things very good i learned a lot im a new b to tools

Great video 👍🏻 I've 7/8 of those tools so guess I'll have to order a track saw immediately. The impact driver gets used all the time - like you point out the socket attachment is v handy.

I have been using Milwaukee for a few years now and I almost exclusively use my impact drivers for drilling and driving. It is common to find drill bits with the 1/4 drive. In some cases it is harder to find the "traditional" drill bits in the areas I shop.

Seen plenty of these vids but had to click on Haxman’s version! Been here since a thousand subscribers and watching you rise like a new IPO! Congrats my friend! I’ll be here still when you hit that 1 mill milestone next year lol

My man looking more and more like lumberjack wolverine

Oscilatting tool. Far by the most used tool in my projects

I watched a vid or yours a (raised bed for $50) that led me to watch a few more. I'm a fan. (and subscribed) I find your video's honest, down to earth, and funny. you keep doing you! Thanks for the great content!

I have both 12v and 18v tools, and 8/10 times I reach for my 12v as they are much lighter, smaller, usually more than powerful enough and easy to pack in a small tool bag with whatever I need for the task. However I really do feel that 12v is a luxury to get if you already have 18v tools simply because they have limitations. For comparison, my 18v drill is according to specs over 3 times stronger than my 12v from the exact same brand. While I love the little guy and use it most of the time, there are tasks I just do not take it to like stirring paint, big drill bits and hole saws, longer lag bolts or even brushes (those for cleaning furniture and car interior). In some cases it - can - do it, but it obviously puts way more strain on the tool than it likes and eats through battery like crazy. And yes I am fully aware that in some niches and professions there is absolutely no reason to bring a big 18v tool, but since this video spesifically was about DIY and such I assume we are talking about general purpose tools for around the house and garage. Get-whatever-can-do-the-most-stuff-for-you kinda deal

The impact driver is a need!!!

The garage taking over the workshop had me rolling because i can truely relate. I have a 3rd year broke down truck i hade planned on rebuilding until my grandson was born. He takes up a lot of my free time and thats ok. I love the hell out of the little shitbird

If you're doing demo of any kind, the reciprocating saw pays for itself on Day 1. Cuts through wood, nails, plastic, metal pipe, drywall, etc. Saves a lot of wear and tear on your body. Best 150 bucks you'll ever spend.

I have a mix of battery and corded tools. Some battery ones are nice because my property is pretty large and some of my projects put me pretty far away from a power source. Great video as always! May the affiliate links be ever in your favor 🙌. Next time I need something I'll be sure to check your channel for a link I can use 😘

Excellent video

you can get a drill chuck for a impact driver and that m12 fuel has a drilling function its sick 👌

Wow what A nice video I love your channel thank you

Festool. A man of culture I see.

Bruh this channel saved my skin. Thank you for these I had no idea what the heck I was doing 🤣

Thanks 🙏

Excellent video, and I completely agree on all points. I recently upgraded my tools to Milwaukee - partially based on the opinions you gave about them in a past video.

Most professional tradesmen prefer the 12v over 18v. I use the Milwaukee fuel 12v impact everyday at work. It's my all time favorite driver I couldn't do my job without it.

I have a Dewalt 20v 4.5 inch saw. It is so awesome and can even cut 2x lumber. So much easier to handle than a 7.25 inch saw. It's a dream for cutting sheet goods. I think it actually might be a great starter saw as it is less intimidating- and more limited in capacity- which might be a good thing starting out.

Took your advice and actually found a sale w/ 6 Ryobi 18V power tools for $200, including the drill and impact driver. Of course my wife and kids purchased them for me for Father's Day :D

it took me two days to watch this because every time I went to watch it someone came over. Good video but not sure about any of the tools I may need to try them out first so send me one and I'll try it then I will send it back and you can send me another one to try and so on and so on or you could come show me how they all work and once your done I wont need to get any of the tools yeah that sounds better to me. I may have to stop watching you all together because it is starting to feel like I am learning things and I never did like school but then again it wasn't as entertaining as you are.

Blue Bosch Jigsaws is great.

Awesome vid. You forgot the mini fridge, I think it's the best power tool. That or the plasma cutter. 👍

This video was definitely made for me especially the impact driver opening 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

New Bosch jigsaw is a tank. Great tool. My miter is actually a 12 inch HF. Needed some tuning and adjusting but works great for what I need. Great video.

You showed exactly why my circular saw is cordless. Cutting the cord with the saw =⚡. Circular saw: 2 clamps + 2x4 (preferably planed) = easy straight cuts and portable! Router: A router table is a simple solution of the cord issue for a lot of applications

Would like to get your opinion on the 24v Flex Power Tools ( if you have one) & would love to see your build on a set of cornhole boards! Thanks for your time
