My father in law told me when it comes to clamps they can be expensive to buy tons of them all at once so what you do is either every paycheck or every time you go to a store like home depot/harbor freight etc... you buy a clamp or two even if you don't need them at that time. Over the course of a year two you will eventually have enough clamps to serve in any capacity without breaking the bank.

Meh, not so much the impact driver. If someone is starting with nothing, the impact driver merely speeds work up, doesn't really enable doing anything more except "maybe" drilling holes if a hex shank drill set was included, and if the benefit is just drilling holes then might as well make it one of their $10 special corded drills. Even then, meh no, save the money and pick that up at a garage sale or pawn shop later, as the idea that everything needs to come from the same store makes no sense in reality.
@theindooroutdoorsman 2 ай бұрын
@@stinkycheese804 Let's start with the end. Nobody ever said you had to buy everything from one store, or even suggested that you should. They had a video idea and went with it, one store makes filming easier. I used one store as an alternative, again, because of ease. Now that we've addressed that... An impact driver can be used for automotive work as well as general around the house work. Which objectively makes it the better choice given how close in price drills and impact drivers are these days.
@AwesometownUSA 2 ай бұрын
@@theindooroutdoorsman When I moved into my first apartment, I’d put together a modest little hand tool kit, but almost immediately realized I needed the impact driver for so many purposes. I get why people would consider it more of a “next step” purchase (beyond a basic, all around tool kit), but it really is crucial even just for starting out.

I did something like this last year for my buddy for Christmas, but car focused & Harbor Freight. Tool bag, socket set, plier set, screwdrivers, carpet knife, jumper cables, flashlight, emergency LED triangle, Allen keys. Built the car kits for my wife & my cars years ago. Was on a road trip to palm springs & didn't take into account BMW uses torx for everything so when a window regulator broke on the road I hadda add a set of torx sockets from Autozone. Glad I kept the tool bag in my car for the trip though! Over budget but handy is a jump pack and tire inflator. This kit should be in every car.

I think Sam's single-use tool comment is spot on. I tried one of those all in one kits when I was a new home owner and the screwdriver was rounded off in a few months and the hammerhead was loose. I suck at home repair and DIY and even I had replaced every tool in there within 3 years.
@weege5.45 2 ай бұрын
@@ecoKady It's a starter kit. It's also an indicator of what tools you need to invest for longevity. New homeowners may not know this yet. I think $100 is I very low, especially with inflation, and this is the level of quality you can expect with $100 compared to what I spent on my first set of framing tools, and that cost over $100 for belt and hand tools. A coworker went to harbor freight first, spent under $100, and had to replace his framing hammer, tape measure, and speed square after a month and his bags were fraying. Never had to replace any of my tools because they broke from regular use, it's because they fell into places I couldn't get them (Screwdrivers, drill bits, punches, a chisel) or I dropped it off a ladder (my favorite tape measure).

Harbor Freight is a must!! One thing that I thought about...what about a good extension cord? Even a 25'er would come in handy. Or a small shop vac!

The general purpose "homeowner" kits are usually pretty decent for the cost. I bought one from walmart and I still use over 10 years later.

“I know this Home Depot pretty well”. What he meant to say was, “This is the worst Home Depot on the planet”.

You should have grabbed something with a 10mm socket. Duck Tape is great, and WD-40 but I find myself only using those maybe once-twice a year for home repair projects, not something very often. If you’re building IKEA furniture you NEED a right angle way to screw in things since that furniture is brutal without it. So maybe a right angle bit driver? Another thing is a light source? What if you’re working on your drying machine, you need to replace the power cord in your new home but can’t see what you’re doing? You’re replacing the P-Trap in your restroom sink and have zero light? A solid light source is a must if you include that as a tool. Honestly wire strippers as well are great, but you can get by with a solid utility knife. A Milwaukee Fastback is a must here.

The golden rule for buying tools that I was taught is to buy an affordable version of the tool you think you want, and then if you use it enough to wear it out buy the nice version that'll last a life time.

What about doing a flea market tool challenge?
@outthasky 2 ай бұрын
Some “store” options for future category shopping sprees; Thrift/second hand store(s), garage sales, flea markets.

you should have 1 guy buy all their stuff from home depot and the other do harbor frieght for the competition
@Raymo2u 2 ай бұрын
that would of been immensely unfair...he would of been able to get just about everything you would need at HF for that same money....electric drill, saw, and so much more.

Good luck with the home Depot app. It works perfectly everywhere but inside the store you can have full bars on your phone. You walk in that store, try and use their app. Boom never works. I don't know what it is with them and I hate to say it. The Lowe's one does the same thing works great. Then you go in the store. Forget that thing working

It’s the construction of the buildings and all the different materials inside the store.

Id love to see the same challange but done with second hand tools like yard sales and FB marketplace, you really cant beat the value you get there!

The caulking gun is probably the most important tool that isn't completely obvious like a hammer.

I have seen caulk in squeezable tubes but I did think this was a good idea that is often not considered. I also think a 5 n 1 paint tool is a good to have... Works as a scraper, joint knife, box cutter, flat head screwdriver, chisel (eh), awl/nail set. And they make others that add in nail pullers and psuedo-nut driver... all for less than $10. I'd also probably add Vise Grips although they are way more expensive than the caulk gun....
